Is the drywall in your car garage cracking? This type of wall and ceiling covering is not a permanent solution for the walls and ceiling. There are various problems with drywall if installed inside a space where there is humidity. Garages can be vulnerable structures and do not get attention most of the time. Most drywall builders use one application of tape and the drywall compound to cut down cost. Most garages with drywall or FRP have shifted to installing PVC panels. They have realized that investing in non-waterproof panels is not worth it. The aim is not to cover the walls and ceiling anyhow but a long-term protection. Age-old solutions are being replaced by modern day inventions.  

Drywall is not waterproof

Waterproofing is a very important trait of wall and ceiling panels. Drywall has terribly failed to impress because they do not have waterproofing capabilities. It is extremely prone to water damage compared to vinyl panels. Many try to use a waterproof primer on the drywall which is an extra expense but it is not a full proof solution. Drywall is a mix of clay, paper, mica, gypsum and resin. It is not moisture proof even if you treat it. So why not think of an alternative? PVC panels for garage walls are the only solution for moisture-filled commercial and residential interiors. The search for a waterproof panel ends here.

The importance of waterproofing

Vinyl panels are completely waterproof and this is why they are avidly used inside commercial and residential interiors. The panels are manufactured using the advanced truss technology. They do not attract any moisture so the walls and ceiling are dry inside. The surface of the vinyl boards is also coated with an antibacterial layer that prevents the formation of mold and mildew even if there is moisture inside the space. Clients have chosen vinyl panels instead of drywall, FRP panels, plywood, tiles, etc. Duramax panels are an ideal alternative to drywall in the garage.

The installation – simple and easy

Drywall is a heavy material and it can soak water and become heavier only to crack and get damaged. It is also difficult to install Drywall, which also involves expenses. PVC panels can be installed 4 times faster compared to Drywall. Vinyl is lightweight so handling is easier. The PVC garage wall coverings are attached to the studs with the help of fasteners. Interlocking tongues and grooves make the installation easy. The interlocks also help to trap and resist moisture from entering the panels. PVC boards are cut to shape before the installation following correct measurements. One contractor can install the panels within a span of 7 to 8 hours. PVC panels are among the most efficient drywall alternatives in a garage.

Easy and simple maintenance

It is not possible to clean drywall with water as it is prone to moisture damage. Vinyl panels are an alternative to drywall in the garage that needs no maintenance. The vinyl boards can be washed as many times because they do not attract moisture. Generally, vinyl sheets have a smooth and crease free surface that do not attract impurities or dirt.
