Do you have FRP panels installed in your walls, and is it delaminating? Well, there was once when  FRP wall panels used to be the only solution (not a solution) for high moisture environments. Still, vinyl wall panels are now the newest innovation in water-resistant wall panels. Vinyl is used because the panels do not need wooden backers, eliminating vulnerability. It’s a long-term solution. This article will discuss commercial kitchens, fisheries and agriculture, cannabis grow rooms, dairy farms, and car washes. If you are interested in another application, please call us at 323-991-7507 to see how vinyl panels can help elevate your project.

 

Now take a look at the industries where vinyl is highly used:

Commercial kitchens

A commercial kitchen is a zone filled with fumes, oil, moisture, heat, etc. Over the years, kitchen walls can begin to deteriorate fast. Yes, Duramax PVC panels are designed for such walls and environments. Our wall panels take care of the walls and ensure a healthy and safe environment for cooking and preparing food. If there is mold, mildew, bacteria, and the formation of microorganisms all around, there would be chances of food poisoning after consumption, and the cooks inside would suffer terribly. Our panels are also fire-resistant.

Fisheries and agriculture

Fisheries and agricultural hubs have a very moist and sensitive environment. If the interior does not remain sanitary, fish cannot thrive, and the same is true for agriculture. Vegetables and fruits would mold if stored in rooms with water damage and bacteria building up. From fishing to agriculture to food processing, a walling material that is water resistant, easy to clean, and antibacterial should be used. 

Cannabis grow rooms

Cannabis grows well in a humid and moisture-filled environment, but the excess moisture can be very harmful to the walls and the interior. It’s ideal to install water-resistant wall panels so that your plants grow well and the interior remains moisture-free. Do you know that cannabis also needs some amount of light to grow nicely? Duramax manufactures light-reflective wall panels ideal for grow rooms. Invest in vinyl panels and grow your cannabis inside grow rooms effortlessly. 

Dairy farms

Dairy farms store milk, and their interiors are very humid and prone to bacteria and mold. To maintain proper hygiene in dairy rooms, install vinyl panels with anti-mold properties. Many workers work inside these farms; their health matters, and the milk must be protected from food poisoning. 

Car washes

Your car wash garage is filled with moisture, water, chemicals, etc. FRP is not the right material for your garage; it tends to rot with moisture. Many car washes decided to go with cheaper material and now have peeling walls with water damage. A few years later, they are having to remodel with vinyl panels. So invest now in vinyl panels and prevent repair costs over the years.

Our panels are a great solution for high-moisture, hygienic, and low-maintenance businesses. They come with over ten years of warranty and meet FDA requirements for hygienic standards.
