Are you trying to renovate an old marina located close to the sea? Most marinas suffer from brine water damage. Adequate interior protection is needed to keep the structures in great condition. There are different types of walls and ceiling covering available in the market. FRP panels, Drywall or Plywood, are not resistant to water. Choose PVC panels mainly because of its water-resistant properties. These panels are used for commercial purposes and have other advantages. Marinas are usually very busy inside as many people come and go. These spaces require much maintenance. Install PVC marine wall panels in the USA from a renowned manufacturer. 

PVC panels – Simple maintenance

PVC panels are installed inside marinas located on the harbors. The panels are installed by a single contractor within 7-8 hours inside a marina. The panels have tongues and grooves that interlock with each other. They are attached to the studs and do not have backers. PVC marine wall panels are easy and simple to maintain. Vinyl panels have a smooth surface that does not attract dirt and impurities. Wash the panels when needed and there is no fear of moisture seepage. Clean the panels occasionally with a damp cloth and an eco-friendly cleaning liquid.  

 

Why are FRP Panels not suitable?

Duramax does not suggest installing FRP panels for marinas because of the drawbacks. FRP panels are unsuitable for humid and damp commercial interiors. These panels have backers that soak in moisture inside the panels causing damage to the panels. The walls also suffer from serious damage which is difficult to repair. FRP Panels cost slightly lower than PVC panels initially. But, do not be swayed by that. PVC panels tend to be costlier initially. But vinyl panels are a single-time investment and they do not require frequent repairs and replacements. Don’t you think a one-time investment is better than frequent expenditure?
