Wallcoverings are becoming popular each day because bare walls inside a commercial setup are a turn-off. There are different types of wall and ceiling panels for various types of uses. For example, water-resistant wall panels are suitable for interiors that experience a lot of dampness and humidity. In addition, vinyl is the only material that has waterproof capabilities and other advantages. 

Uses of vinyl panels

PVC panels in the USA are used across industries like grow rooms, car washes, restaurants, commercial kitchens, fisheries and more. Initially, the cost of vinyl panels is higher compared to the competitors. Vinyl panels cost a little more compared to FRP panels, but the former is a one-time investment. FRP panels are not very expensive initially but you will spend more in the long run due to repairs. 

Easy to install PVC panels

Vinyl panels are simple and quick to install. The panels do not have backers and everything required to install the panels comes with the pack of panels. Therefore, there are no additional expenses on installation materials. A single contractor can install the panels in 7-8 hours. Additional number of installers can speed up the process. Vinyl panels require excessively low maintenance post-installation. The average shelf life of PVC panels is about 40-45 years or even more. Plastic panels require no daily maintenance or cleaning. Wipe the panels with a damp cloth and soap to keep the panels clean and shining.
