Alex owns grow rooms and now he is planning to renovate the interiors. He was worried as he noticed that the old panels were delaminating. He had installed an FRP wallboard inside the grow rooms a few years back, and now he wants to renovate it with a different type of wall panel.
Grow rooms are mostly filled with moisture which is good for the growth of the plants. So, you can never get rid of moisture. Instead, choose to install waterproof wall panels around. FRP Panels were once a popular solution, and that was when Alex chose to install, but now, he knows the advantages of vinyl. Recently, vinyl is giving FRP a tough competition.
Duramax in the USA has been manufacturing superior-quality vinyl panels for the past 40 years. The PVC panels are 100% waterproof and do not allow any bacterial or mold growth on their surface. This is a very big advantage for grow rooms because the plants would suffer from bacterial growth inside.
Also, the proper distribution of light is a very big factor for the healthy growth of plants. Alex was also noticing a hike in the energy bills. We assured him that upon installing vinyl panels, he would save a certain amount. The FRP Panels do not have any such qualities that could help you to save your energy bills. But PVC panels are light-reflective. They can equally distribute the reflected light to reduce your energy bills.
As we are narrating Alex’s grow room story, you already know that FRP panels delaminate very fast. The panels are not moisture-resistant as they require backers during the installation. The backers attract moisture and humidity, which gets accumulated into the panels and seeps into the walls. The panels delaminate and the walls also damaged.
We assured Alex that the PVC panels would last for many years. The vinyl panels can last for a very long time, almost over 140 years. Duramax panels can last for 40-45 years without repairs and replacement. Our panels are specially designed for commercial use. Till now, we have interacted with many clients who have chosen to replace FRP panels and install PVC.
PVC panels are simple to install; you do not have to invest in any extra material for the installation. The panels do not have backers; hence moisture cannot get into the panels and ruin. The absence of backers makes it ideal for humid interiors.
PVC panels require low maintenance, and no daily cleaning is required. Clean the panels using a light detergent and water to keep them hygienic and shiny. Since PVC panels have a very smooth surface, not allowing any bacteria to settle on it helps maintain the grow room’s overall hygiene.
Duramax PVC panels are ASTM and CFIA-certified and FDA-compliant. PVC panels are chemical-resistant and have a 1-hour fire grade that can keep away all types of fire hazards. All our panels are checked for quality before it is shipped to your site.
