Thermoplastic resin includes polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene and all of these can be softened by heating. Various additives and pigments are mixed with PVC while processing and this blend is made into PVC products. PVC is used to manufacture premium wall and ceiling panels. Vinyl panels are considered ideal for damp and swanky commercial interiors. 

Easy to clean Duramax PVC panels

FRP Panels have uneven rough surfaces that attract much dirt and impurities. It is not easy to clean the FRP Panels due to the surface texture. FRP Panels absorb moisture so you cannot wash them. The cost of maintenance and cleaning increases when you install FRP Panels inside your commercial interior. PVC panels require simple cleaning and no regular maintenance. Wipe the panels with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use bleaching agents or use harsh abrasives. Wash the panels when needed as they do not allow moisture penetration. 

Simple PVC panel installation

Installing an FRP wallboard is a complex and time-consuming process. The panels have backers that absorb moisture into the walls and ceiling. Two or more contractors are required to install the FRP panels. The installation is not completed on the same day and you need to invest in additional materials. PVC panels are simple and easy to install. The panels are attached to the studs and there are hidden fasteners. This makes them reusable. The panels do not have backers so they do not absorb moisture and dampness into the walls and ceiling. Duramax panels have interlocking tongues and grooves for faster installation. A single contractor can install PVC panels within 7-8 hours.

PVC panels – savings in the long run

It is very important to discuss the FRP pricing so that you can compare it to PVC panels. The initial cost of FRP panels is less compared to vinyl panels. The cost of FRP panels gets higher post-installation and with expensive maintenance. FRP panels get damaged easily even more if it comes in contact with humidity and dampness. PVC panels cost a little more than FRP Panels when you get them from the store. But there are no extra installation costs, no hidden charges and no maintenance costs.

Post-installation, the price of FRP panels doubles, whereas the price of PVC panels increases nominally by a few dollars. FRP Panels cannot endure extremities, they peel off or delaminate within a few years post-installation. PVC Panels can last for a century and a minimum of 45-50 years without heavy maintenance. 

Light-reflective PVC panels

You can save money by investing in PVC panels but enjoying no such savings if you install FRP Panels. The light-reflective Duramax panels equally distribute the reflected light. This gives you the liberty to install a lesser number of LED lights. The light-reflective nature of PVC panels is a boon for industries that depend a lot on light factors like grow rooms. PVC panels do not release any toxic elements like nitrous oxide upon burning.

Vinyl panels are safe as they are non-reactive to chemical agents. FRP panels are available in different colors but they fade out gradually even more if exposed to sunlight. Vinyl panels have non-yellowing agents like titanium dioxide. We recommend not installing ceiling-mounted bulbs and heat-emitting lights. Duramax PVC panels are available in only white color.
