FRP panels used to be a popular wall and ceiling covering before vinyl sheets emerged in the market. A vinyl panel replaces the FRP wallboard because the former has many disadvantages. Businesses that installed FRP sheets are trying to replace those worn-out and damaged panels with vinyl sheets. PVC panels are heavily used in the construction and building sector. There are various companies in the USA that manufacture wall and ceiling panels. The popularity of vinyl panels is increasing; no other material can replace them.
The panels practically do not have backers. This is why the dampness cannot seep into the walls. FRP panels are difficult to install and a single contractor cannot handle the task.
PVC Sheets have a ½ inch thickness which is considered good while testing the panels for durability. The width of each panel is 16 inches and the length can be adjusted according to your requirements. The installation process is hassle-free and inexpensive. A single contractor can install the panels inside a commercial space within 7 to 8 hours. The wall panels are attached directly to the studs using concealed fasteners. This is why PVC sheets can be used several times. They do not have backers so the dampness cannot creep into the panels or walls. FRP wallboard is not easy to install and they have backers that attract moisture and humidity. Installing FRP is expensive because several additional materials and more workforce are needed.
The vinyl panels can be washed and cleaned anytime and you do not have to worry about moisture seepage. It is simple and easy to clean the panels, no additional investment is needed. There is no need to use harsh chemicals like acids, rough chemical agents and abrasives. PVC panels have a shiny, smooth surface that does not attract mold or impurities. We suggest wiping the panels with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. An FRP Wall Panel has a rough surface, making the cleaning process complex and lengthy. You cannot wash the panels because it would attract moisture, which further damages the panels and the walls. FRP panels are not suitable for commercial interiors where moisture takes a toll.
Vinyl sheets are available in pure white color. They do not get tinted or become yellowish with time. The white color panels make the interior look spacious and well-lit. FRP panels are available in different colors but do not be tempted by time because they easily fade with time. We assure you that the walls will not attract oil, grime and dirt. PVC panels are light-reflective so they equally distribute the reflected light. We suggest installing fewer LED lights which would result in lower energy bills. You cannot enjoy savings if you install an FRP wallboard.
PVC sheets are mainly used for commercial interiors. They have installed car washes, commercial kitchens, restaurants, breweries, fisheries, riding stables, shipping containers, warehouses, etc. An FRP wallboard costs only $70, less than the cost of PVC panels, which is $83.58. The cost of installing a vinyl sheet is only $5 so the total comes to $88.58. The cost of installing FRP wallboard is double the price of the panels so the total comes to $141.50. It is not worth paying such a large amount for a temporary solution. They get damaged after a few years of installation.
Duramax PVC Panels is a renowned brand in the USA that manufactures vinyl sheets in the USA. We have designed panels for more than 40 years. The vinyl sheets are made from 100% raw vinyl. This gives durability to the panels. Not all vinyl sheets are of the same quality, it differs from one manufacturer to another. The vinyl panels are 100% water-resistant. Humidity and dampness do not penetrate the walls because the panels do not absorb dampness. The sheets are ASTM-certified, FDA-compliant and have necessary certifications. The panels have a 1-hour fire grade and have Class A fire resistivity. These vinyl sheets have an antibacterial coating that arrests the growth of mold and mildew. The product is lightweight, non-porous and can be recycled almost 7 times more than FRP wallboard.
Replace old FRP panels that are peeling off from the walls and choose to install PVC panels inside your commercial space. Vinyl panels have a longer shelf-life lasting 45 to 50 years or even 100 years without repairs or replacement. We promise a $25,000 return if the panels require repairs or replacement after installation.
Businesses in the USA prefer installing certified vinyl panels because they are certified and pass the inspection. It is time to replace the old and worn-out FRP panels. These are not ideal for damp walls. Instead, we suggest installing PVC panels to eliminate dampness and humidity. The vinyl panels are manufactured inside our factory in the USA and transported to your site within 2 weeks. Duramax panels do not require replacement after installation. We believe that a job that is once done correctly does not require redoing.
