Meet Craig, a mechanical engineer with MPE Services, who uses Duramax PVC Panels for his professional projects and chooses them for his personal garage. Craig designs plans for food processing and dairy plants that require hygienic, durable solutions. After considering other materials like drywall and plywood, he opted for Duramax PVC Panels to achieve the same standard of cleanliness and durability in his own space.
As an expert in mechanical engineering, Craig regularly specifies materials for large-scale food processing and dairy plants. His extensive knowledge of building solutions led him to select Duramax PVC Panels for his personal garage due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance.
When Craig was planning his garage renovation, he initially considered using drywall or plywood. However, the potential costs and lack of durability steered him away from these traditional materials. He needed something strong, long-lasting, and easy to clean—a solution that could handle the wear and tear of a functional garage space.
Craig turned to Duramax PVC Panels for the same reasons he recommends them in his professional work: superior durability, cost savings, and cleanliness. Despite having to adjust his installation process to accommodate the unique design of his garage—by installing the panels horizontally instead of vertically—he was impressed by how well the panels met his needs.
Craig’s familiarity with Duramax PVC Panels from his professional work made the decision process straightforward. He knew the quality and performance the panels offered and didn’t hesitate to install them in his own garage. When he encountered a challenge with the ceiling installation, needing an extra washer for added stability, Craig found the solution quickly and was able to finish the job with ease.
Craig appreciated the smooth installation process, noting that the only difficulty was with the ceiling panels, which required an additional washer for extra support. However, aside from that minor adjustment, the rest of the installation was seamless. Craig was particularly pleased with how easy the PVC panels were to clean, an important factor for him both personally and professionally.
Craig’s case highlights how Duramax PVC Panels can be trusted not just for large industrial projects but also for personal spaces like garages.

Performance Contracting Inc. (PCI) is one of the leading specialty contractors in the United States. They provide more than 25 different services and products to the industrial, commercial, and non-residential markets – from complex interior build-out services to large-scale insulation systems and scaffolding.
They also have over 30 years of experience building out cleanrooms with a focus on life sciences and pharmaceuticals and have recently entered the cannabis grow room industry.
The ChallengeGrowing cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes is a fast-growing business in the United States. However, the main challenge businesses face is controlling the humidity and moisture levels. Building cannabis grow rooms can be time-intensive and expensive to make sure that the environment is constructed with the proper building materials that can support the precise environment that helps these plants thrive. Marijuana plants are highly susceptible to bacterial infestation and mold development within a too-moist grow room. Cannabis grow room walls need to control humidity and moisture levels in order to counteract the growth of bacteria, molds and microbes.
The SolutionJonathan, a contractor for Performance Contracting, was embarking on his first cannabis grow room project and noted that the architect had spec’d out PVC wall panels. This would be Jonathan’s first experience with PVC wall panels as he’d preferred using FRP in the past because they were readily available for many of his cleanroom projects. With two potential options for PVC wall panels, Jonathan found Duramax to be incredibly responsive as well as reasonably priced. Once they received the panels, he noted they were very straightforward and easy to install. The main thing that stands out when it comes to FRP versus PVC is that Duramax’s panels interlock seamlessly, which ensures that moisture is not absorbed at all. The PVC panels will never rot or have problems with mold or mildew, whereas FRP can eventually mold and rot due to moisture absorption.
“The panels all locked together so easily, and it was very quick to install and move from one side of the building to another,” said Jonathan Reale, Project Manager for Performance Contracting. “I liked that all we needed to do was adhere them directly to the studs without any backers such as drywall or plywood.”
The Duramax DifferenceAccording to MJBiz Daily, the combined U.S. medical and recreational cannabis sales could reach $33.6 billion by the end of 2023, an amount largely driven by the opening of new adult-use markets. In addition, new positive study results continue to drive the medical marijuana market forward due to its use as treatment for many chronic conditions, including chronic pain and nausea. More and more contractors are becoming aware of Duramax PVC panels for grow room projects due to their cannabis cultivating properties, including being water- and mold-resistant, light-reflective, and maintenance-free for life.
While FRP panels may be cheaper and initially a more convenient option, they are more expensive in the long run. FRP panels can mold, delaminate, crack, and peel off, and they need repairs or replacement every few years. In addition, the installation process and cost of labor end up making the panels as much, if not more expensive than PVC.
Jesella Gardens is a family owned and operated boutique cannabis cultivation facility located in Edmond, OK. They’re known for their years of growing experience as well as high-quality products. All of their plants are grown in indoor grow facilities to ensure the best control of humidity, moisture, and light for producing superior cannabis products.
The ChallengeJesella Gardens was expanding their operations and needed to construct two 4,000-square-foot indoor grow houses. With high product expectations from their commercial and dispensary partners, they were looking for wall panels that would protect their crops, be easy to clean, and remain maintenance-free after installation. Being experienced growers, they knew that cannabis grow room walls need to control the humidity and moisture levels to counteract the growth of bacteria, mold, and microbes. With a high demand for their product, they also needed a wall option that they could install quickly without needing to hire skilled laborers, a process that would require multiple installation steps.
The SolutionJesella Gardens spent many hours researching different wall options including price, quality, ease of installation, longevity, and the specific properties needed to optimize growing conditions. Often grow rooms are not well-lit and the medicinal herbs need proper lighting for good growth. Duramax’s bright white, light-reflective panels were a big draw because it eliminated the need to apply 2-3 coats of paint to get the same result. The panels distribute light equally and eliminate the need to install extra light-emitting devices contributing to major energy savings in the long run.
“I’ve been in drywall my entire career and I couldn’t believe how easy the panels were to install and how quickly everything came together,” said Chris Miller, Jesella Gardens. “I can’t tell you how many people we’ve already recommended Duramax too for their indoor grow house operations.”
The Duramax DifferenceMJBiz Daily recently published that only 24.4% of businesses in the U.S. cannabis sector claim to be profitable, according to a new report by Oregon-based cannabis data and research company Whitney Economics, further underlining the industry's struggles. With so many different wall options out there, it can be overwhelming for cannabis growers to find cost-effective options that have a good return on investment.
“We did the math and determined that for an extra $9,000 compared to another wall option, we saved $20,000 on labor alone,” said Chris Miller, Jesella Gardens. “Better yet is that we won’t ever have to replace it and we’re super happy with how the panels came together and how they look inside the grow house.”
Description: Mick moved into his brand new house in Helena, MT and had so much room that his garage was basically empty. He decided to make use of his garage by turning it into a workshop and lounge. He wanted a modern design and decided to go for Duramax's seamless walling surface. He liked how easy it was to install these panels and wanted to make it his own project. After measuring out the dimensions of his garage, he ordered online and waiting about 1 and a 1/2 weeks for the product to arrive. Installation took about 2 weeks as Mick was working over the weekends only. The results looked fantastic and Mick was able to successfully finish this project in under a month by himself.
Description: Aaron makes his living as a full-time carpenter, part-time craftsman. He’ll tell you that the former is how the bills get paid, but the latter is his passion. Many items of furniture, sculptures, and tools have left his woodworking bench over the years. It remains in the corner of his garage, to the left of his Honda Prius when it rains, though the car usually remains outside. After some time working in his makeshift garage workshop, Aaron decided to upgrade it to a bonafide workstation.
The walls were the first item on the list of upgrades since the garage still had the basic wooden frames and drywall from the original construction. He had already seen moisture causing problems in the wood, which became an even bigger problem considering Aaron must often leave wood pieces sitting around as they were completed. Not only did Aaron need seamless walls to prevent moisture from ruining tools and pieces, but he also needed to make sure the room temperatures didn’t get too hot or cold. Either extreme could have damaging effects on his crafts.
We installed Duramax PVC panels in the walls and ceiling of Aaron’s entire garage. The result was a uniform off-white facility that really captured his desire for a creative space. The lack of moisture inside the garage meant there was much less concern over mold in the garage and even less concern over warped woodworking. Aaron reported in our follow-up that he was pleasantly surprised at how much lower his heating and air costs were after the Duramax PVC panels improved the insulation in his garage. This was a result of removing the previous gaps in his walls and ceiling with vinyl panels, which increased the heat and cold retention of the entire home.
When the county chose Wes to oversee their animal shelter, the first point of business was for him to apply for government aid and grants. The shelter was desperately in need of both the kennels and runs to be remodeled and updated.
When he was filling out his official application for the aid and grants, Wes had to provide a few choices for materials for the construction and remodel. Not really knowing what was and was not available on the market, other than your standard plywood, he found he needed to do a little research.
After googling for a short time, Wes was brought to the website of Duramax. Duramax was a manufacturer of vinyl panels, and from the start, Wes felt that the product would fit all of his needs and criteria for his proposals. The application required a detailed description as to why the company Wes chose would be the best choice. Wes looked over the Duramax website, and in his proposal, hit on all the many benefits there were to choosing Duramax's vinyl panels.
The first advantage was that the panels were constructed of high-quality Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) that offered a smooth, slick finish by its very nature. The panels all interlocked together with seamless results, which allowed for no problems with cracks or crevices.
Both of the aspects, the seamless interlocking, and the smooth surface, allowed for ease of cleaning and sanitation, as the panels could be hosed down with water or a mild detergent when needed. There was also the advantage that as there were no cracks or crevices present, the panels were impervious to moisture, which prevented the buildup of dirt and grime that could often lead to bacteria, viruses, and mold.
Moisture and buildup of dirt and grime were two of the significant factors that were involved in the maintenance of any dog kennel. Wes liked the fact that the vinyl panels would make dealing with these issues all that easier.
The next advantage was the panels were lightweight yet still durable and sturdy. Being ½ inch thick, the panels were engineered for fast and easy installation. Wed would not have to pay an entire construction crew to install the panels, as a couple of people could get the work done in a few short days.
Wes also learned that there would not be any additional construction or prepping of the existing kennels for the installation. Duramax vinyl panels would easily install onto the existing studding and substrate—again allowing Wes to save money and put it in other areas where the finances may be needed.
After filling out the paperwork for his proposal, Wes was convinced that he had made an excellent choice going with Duramax vinyl panels.
When looking to build, or remodel, a space for your company, the logical choice is Duramax vinyl panels. Reliable, trustworthy, and built to last from quality materials, they outperform the competition.
