Case Studies

Santa Clarita Laundormat,
in Santa Clarita, CA

  • Type: Laundromat
  • Location: Santa Clarita, CA
  • Quantity: 234 sq. ft.

Descriptions: In the wee hours of a March morning, Steven received a call no business owner wants to receive—your laundromat had had a significant water leak and suffered extensive damage. When Steven purchased the business a few years previously, he knew repairs would need to be done, but he had not planned on them being this extensive.

Not sure where to start, Steven knew that he didn't want to build back with the same materials that the previous owner had used. That is when he began looking into Duramax vinyl panels as an alternative. After looking at all of the available types of material on the market, Steven kept finding his research for the best choice leading him back to Duramax. Being constructed of top-grade Polyvinyl Chloride, the panels were not only durable but of superior quality as well.

With their seamless construction and smooth surface, Duramax vinyl panels were impervious to moisture. They were also proven to be resistant to the buildup of dirt and grime, which most often lead to the formation of bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew.

Through his research, Steven also learned of the benefit of reduced costs of construction, as the vinyl panels were not only quick but easy to install. They quickly fastened to the existing substructure, which meant he would not have to be tearing out any partitions or walls for the changeover.

Made a full ½ inch thick, the panels are constructed to interlock together along their sides, providing a smooth, seamless surface. Although the vinyl panels were only ½ inch thick, the panels are durable yet lightweight so as not to put any undue additional stress on the attached substrate.

Steven also learned that the whole process was a breeze when it came to maintaining the panels. He simply had to wash the walls down occasionally with water or a hose, and they would remain clean and sanitary. There were no worries about the moisture content that is common in a laundromat leading to any form of buildup or bacterias.

With its smooth, seamless construction, the vinyl panels did not have any form of crevices that would allow any dirt or grime to hide and viruses to grow. There was also the advantage that Duramax vinyl panels are resistant to most chemicals and will not suffer from corrosion.

When looking at the cost of using Duramax vinyl panels, Steven crunched the numbers. He saw that, over the long run, Duramax was the most economical choice when put up against its competitors. He learned that Duramax vinyl panels were constructed with the intent to handle any challenge thrown at them. When it came time to remodel, Steven went with Duramax vinyl panels, which he felt was the only logical choice.

24/7 Laundry, Austin, Texas

  • Type: Laundromat
  • Location: Austin, TX
  • Quantity: 250 sq. ft.

Descriptions: After having purchased his 24/7 laundromat a few years ago, John knew there would be repairs needing to be made. However, it didn't expect them to be required so soon. When the laundromat experienced extensive damage from a water leak, John knew he had to make a change.

The walls of the laundromat, when he acquired it, consisted of materials that proved to be not the best choice for an environment that was consistently exposed to excessive amounts of moisture. As a result, the water damage gave John an excuse to remodel the premises and make a beneficial upgrade.

When John began shopping around for his materials, he decided on replacing the walls with Duramax vinyl panels. He had done his research and found that Duramax offered a vinyl panel constructed of top-grade, durable, superior quality Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

Unlike other wall panels on the market, John found that the Duramax vinyl panels were impervious to water and moisture. With their smooth, seamless construction, there were no worries of any resulting damage from the humidity present in his laundromat.

The added benefit was that construction costs would be at a minimum as the panels were both quick and easy to install—most often in a matter of days. They fastened to the existing substructure meaning there was no need for any special prepping of the walls for installation.

With their ½ inch thick construction, the panels fit together via their interlocking sides, which provided a smooth, seamless, and durable result. John found that the panels would be lightweight, preventing any undue additional stress on his building structure.

There was also the advantage that the panels were easy to maintain. John simply had to wash them down with water, or a hose, to remain sanitary and clean. With their PVC construction, the panels are resistant to moisture along with the buildup of bacteria, molds, and mildew.

This advantage is due to the fact the seamless construction alleviates any form of crevices where these problems can hide and grow. The panels are also resistant to most chemicals and will not corrode. John found that when he compared the Duramax panels to their competitors on the market, Duramax was the logical choice. Duramax panels are constructed with the ability to handle just about any challenge that they are presented with. Over time, they will save you money and any additional labor costs. John found this to be a significant part of his decision to go with Duramax.

If you have a remodel, such as John, or new construction, the logical choice is Duramax vinyl panels. They are trustworthy, quality-made, and outperform their competition.
