Vinyl panels have made their way to the top list among wall and ceiling covering materials. Nothing can be as aesthetically pleasing as a layer of customized PVC panel on the walls and ceiling. The vinyl sheets are used in grow rooms, restaurants, commercial kitchens, food processing units, meat packaging units, warehouses, shipping containers and more. FRP wall panels were popular once but it lost its position after the popularity of PVC panels.

Quick and affordable installation

PVC panels can be installed on the same day by only one contractor. There is no need to pause the operations of your business for days. The vinyl panels have tongues and grooves in interlocking patterns that allow quicker installation. The panels are fixed to the frames or studs with invisible screws and fasteners. PVC panels can be mounted and unmounted without much hassle. The panels do not have backers which mean there is no scope for moisture leakage into the panels. The walls and ceiling surface inside remain protected. The expenses are not hefty because there is no need to hire more than one contractor and there is no investment in extra materials. FRP panels have a complex installation process. It is expensive because the process requires a minimum of two contractors and other different materials.

Cleaning and maintenance discussed

Did you find maintaining FRP wall panels difficult and still could not save them? FRP wall panels have a rough and edgy surface that attract a lot of dirt and impurities. The panels require proper cleaning but the surface is not 100% waterproof so there are chances of moisture seeping through the panels. If this continues on a prolonged basis, the FRP sheets get damaged including the walls and ceiling. Do not worry about maintenance after installing vinyl sheets because they do not require daily cleaning. Wipe the panels with a soft cloth and use a light soapy agent to clean the surface. Washing the panels anytime would be fine because there is nothing to fear about humidity seepage into the panels. PVC boards are chemical-resistant but we would suggest you not to use any harsh agents like bleaches, abrasives, or acids to clean the panels.

Panels manufactured using truss technology

There are different wall-covering materials available in the market like plywood, drywall, vinyl panels, FRP panels and mylar. Each one of them has their own pros and cons. None of them are good at moisture control which is one of the biggest drawbacks. Here PVC has been the game-changer. The vinyl sheets are water-resistant so they can arrest moisture that settles on the surface of the panels. Vinyl panels are waterproof in nature and this is one of the most important traits of this material. They safeguard the walls and ceiling from humidity and dampness. The panels are covered with anti-mold and anti-bacterial that prevents the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface of the panels.

Customized vinyl panels 

The PVC panels are ½ inch thick, they have 16 inches width and the length can be customized. The panels are manufactured using the truss technology which is a combination of solid engineering and new technology. Duramax manufactures white panels made from 100% virgin vinyl. This makes the vinyl boards durable and robust. The white color sheets do not get discolored or tinted with the passage of time. The vinyl sheets are not available in multiple shades but you can always use PVC grade paint to color the boards. FRP boards are available in multiple shades but they fade out really fast which is not worth it at all.
