Maintaining hygiene levels and protecting the walls in a commercial establishment keeps the business running smoothly. Especially when it comes to building indoor grows, food processing facilities, farms, car washes, commercial kitchens, or breweries, selecting the right material for walls and ceilings is absolutely critical. Because these spaces are exposed to high levels of humidity, heat, smoke, and variations in temperature regularly, you need to choose their wall material with care.

Paint jobs often don’t stand the test of time and end up looking dull and old within a matter of a few months, which is neither good for operations nor desirable from a hygiene perspective. Therefore, with options like PVC, FRP, tiles, and metal panels available, there are enough reasons for you to look beyond drywall.  Here, we’ll discuss why Duramax PVC panels are the most effective solution.

1. Fast, easy, and inexpensive installation:

Duramax PVC Wall Panel is lightweight and can be easily installed without needing any special training or tools — you can even do it with one installer! The same is not true for materials like metal and wood panels, requiring specialized installers to set them up correctly. Glazed tiles and pre-faced concrete blocks require longer installation time, and they are not cheap.

Being able to screw PVC panels directly to the studs and having interlocking sides make installation 4x faster than other materials. Longer installation hours often mean that operations at your facility will be stalled for a longer period, which hurts your business. With Duramax, we proudly process orders within 48 hours so you can get up and running with your newly walled facility faster.

2. Ensure sanitary and hygiene conditions:

Hygiene is a factor that cannot be overlooked in most commercial facilities. Besides laws that require the usage of certain types of materials, protecting the quality of your product or service is the main focus. Duramax  PVC interlock to provide a seamless surface, ensuring no mold or bacteria builds up in crevices like FRP. Additionally, these panels meet the strict quality and safety standards of the Food and Drug Administration and are ASTM-certified. Duramax Panels are antibacterial in nature and do not pose the risk of bacterial or fungal contamination. Moreover, being easy to clean, they are an ideal solution for facilities that demand regular cleaning to maintain sanitary conditions. 

3. Easy-to-maintain aesthetic look:

Duramax PVC Panels impart a bright, clean finish to your interior walls and are incredibly easy to maintain. The smooth and glossy surface of Duramax PVC Wall retains its fresh new look for years, eliminating the need for touch-ups, unlike painted concrete walls, which require re-painting to be done frequently. Thanks to its smooth, seamless surface design, cleaning up the Duramax PVC panels takes little time — a quick wipe down or high-pressured hose is often all that it takes!

4. Better strength and durability:

Wooden wall panels and ceilings bring a traditional look but score poorly in durability. High humidity can undermine the quality of operations in several application areas, such as meat processing plants, poultry farms, and breweries. Wood panels are susceptible to moisture absorption and mold formation. They are also susceptible to termite attacks.

Steel panels are very durable and look good too. However, steel gets affected by hard water scaling. To counter this, facility owners need to spend on waterproof epoxy coating — not a very cost-effective option.

The FRP panels score well on durability, but they need a backer made with plywood, drywall, or OSB, which makes the material somewhat susceptible to moisture in the long run. These panels have fasteners on the surface, allowing moisture to soak in.

As a 100% water-resistant wall solution, Duramax PVC lasts much longer. It’s chemical resistant, has a 1-hour fire grade, and does not corrode like metals. Its unique webbed inner truss design makes it highly durable and impact-resistant even in the most demanding environment. Learn more about Duramax PVC Wall Panels’ other compelling features here.
