A food processing interior should always be free from moisture and toxicity. Fresh food is the primary concern for a food processing unit. There is huge customer demand for fresh and hygienic processed food. Food processing is the procedure of converting agricultural products into food that is worth eating. Food is converted from one form to another by the use of commercial methods. A proper-functioning food processing unit ensures hygiene and good quality products. Keep the interior damp-free to ensure the good health of the workers and the quality of food. We suggest installing waterproof PVC washable wall panels inside every unit.

Why choose PVC over FRP ?

There are different types of panels, but none have qualities like vinyl. Many have asked whether FRP or fiber-reinforced plastic would be a good choice. Before vinyl panels were introduced, FRP was a choice for many commercial interiors. It is important to know why vinyl emerged as a giant and FRP lost to it.

 

FRP panels require backers beneath for the installation, which is why it does not remain waterproof anymore. The OSB or Drywall backers attract a lot of moisture that accumulates within the food processing unit, damaging the panels and walls. The excessive dampness can delaminate the panels, sometimes beyond repairs. The panels are damaged within a few years which indicates re-investment. PVC ceiling panels, on the other hand, do not have backers to attract moisture and humidity. As a result, the panels and the walls are dry, which is a big advantage. Here, FRP loses to PVC in terms of water/moisture absorption.

Super easy to clean vinyl panels

Cleaning PVC ceiling panels is super easy because it has a smooth surface that does not attract impurities or bacteria. On the other hand FRP panels are difficult to clean due to the rough surface. You can wash PVC panels without bothering about moisture seepage, but in FRP panels, you cannot wash those.

Long lasting vinyl panels

PVC washable wall panels can last for 40-50 years without much upkeep so you can consider it as a long-term or lifetime investment. Therefore, it is worth paying slightly higher one time and not worrying about the future. Unfortunately, FRP Panels lose it again because the panels delaminate easily and require repeated investment.

Invest a little more in PVC panels

There is no reason why you have to think of installing FRP Panels inside your unit. Order Duramax PVC panels online and feel the difference. There is no need to worry about sudden inspections anymore. PVC panels can be a lifetime solution. Do not be swayed by the low FRP panel cost because there is a lot of investment post-installation. It is wise to invest a little more initially in PVC panels for once. Save almost 50% of the labor costs and 40% material costs. Quality is one thing that we never compromise. The panels are checked for quality before it is shipped to your site.
