Areas that are high-moisture such as coastal homes or neighborhoods that are prone to flooding would benefit significantly with Duramax PVC panels. The fact that these panels do not need wooden backers allow for resistance to humidity, moisture, and floods. Homeowners have been using these panels for their basements and boathouses to prevent any water damage.
Shop online for PVC panels from the Duramax online store. The panels save 50% on labor and 40% on material expenditure. The vinyl panels available at factory-direct prices shipped within 2 weeks are a one-time investment. Don’t shop for FRP panels even if they are cheaper. PVC panels might be slightly higher, but FRP panels might get more expensive at a later stage due to heavy maintenance and repairs.
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.
Description: Many hardworking people like to pamper themselves and unwind with spa days. It is a time for rehydration, relaxation, and rest, where troubles wash away through various rejuvenating treatments. Visiting a spa usually requires time off work, appointments, and travel. One couple, the Robinsons, decided they didn’t want to go through all the tasks required to set up a spa day, and they had a brilliant idea: they would simply convert the tool shed in the backyard into a spa. Their tool shed sits near a pool, so a bit of paving was enough to create a walkway. The hard part of the conversion was converting the interior to handle the heated rock pit and the expected moisture of the steam baths and two-person hot spring.
Fortunately, the Robinsons could take care of both these problems with their ceiling and wall tiles, using Duramax PVC wall panels. The heat-resistant surface of vinyl was ideal for the sauna aspect of their spa, especially considering the framework of the shed is still made of wood. Since wood is susceptible to water damage, rot, and mold from exposure to moisture, the material that covered their walls needed to be truly waterproof. That means that the surface of the material could allow water to seep through, even very slowly, and that the material could be cut in a way that allowed seamless installation.
As the Robinsons completed their construction, they found out that Duramax PVC panels are perfect for spas. Beyond the water resistance mentioned above, vinyl is also resistant to heat. The threat of heat and water is a dangerous mix for wood, so it’s an ideal covering for older frames that need internal protection from unavoidable water. In the case of Robinson’s new spa/pool house, we were pleased that our PVC panels took care of both major concerns.
