Did you not add a wall or ceiling covering? It was a bad decision if you chose FRP over PVC panels. It is an added investment to remove the old FRP sheets and install new panels. Why would you invest the same money, a little in installing panels? You need to choose the right material for a car wash space. There are different wall coverings like drywall, plywood, Mylar, FRP panels and PVC boards. We will help you choose a panel that will last for a lifetime. Our vinyl boards are extremely durable, robust, tested, and certified. 

Waterproofing the car wash space is mandatory

No one likes a moldy and damp car wash space even if they remain wet most of the time. FRP panel do not have waterproofing qualities like vinyl does. The former is prone to attracting moisture from the interior environment through the backers. The board are ruined along with the inner walls and ceiling. There are ways to reduce the humidity levels by using a dehumidifier, improving ventilation, and installing fans, coolers, or air condition units. But dampness can be very rigid and can accumulate after taking certain precautions. We recommend installing vinyl panels for car wash bay walls. They have 100% waterproofing qualities like no other. The sheets are manufactured using advanced truss technology. No moisture can accumulate on the surface of the panels or penetrate through them to reach the wall or ceiling surface. Covering with PVC wall panels prevents the growth of mold and mildew on the surface. This will keep the inside environment healthy and ensure the workers do not develop mold allergies and the vehicles stay in good condition. 

Choose PVC sheets for new or retrofit construction

Car wash wall panels can be installed in just a few hours, in around 7 to 8 hours. This means you keep the car wash shut down for a maximum of a day. The boards are attached to the studs with fasteners so you can reuse them later. These do not have ugly joints unlike FRP panels. Duramax sheets have interlocking tongues and grooves for easier installation. The boards are cut to shape for flawless installation. There is no need to worry about the workforce because one contractor can easily manage the entire installation. 

Light-reflective PVC sheets

The panels are resistant from impacts and abuses, the lightweight nature facilitates easy transportation. They are resistant to chemical exposure and have a 1-hour, Class A fire resistivity. They have no porosity and can be recycled several times. The boards can control odor and keep the car wash interior healthy. Every panel is ½ inch thick, have width of 16 inches and the length can vary base on client requirements. The PVC boards are totally light reflective so you need to install fewer LED lights and save on energy bills. FRP panels does not offer scope of any such savings. Duramax panels installed on car wash bay walls are available in only clear white. They do not turn yellowish or look dirty with time. We do not manufacture colorful panels. FRP sheets are available in multiple shades but they fade away too soon. We manufacture grey panels upon getting bulk orders.

No daily maintenance or cleaning needed

Car wash wall panels do not require everyday cleaning or rigorous maintenance. Use a wet, soft cloth and a friendly cleaning agent to keep the panels clean. Do not use abrasives, acids, bleaches, or harsh cleaning agents. PVC wall panels are long-lasting as they have 45 to 50 years of shelf-life and sometimes more than a century. FRP panels have a rough surface that is not easy to maintain and is not long-lasting at all.

Doing away with moisture

Any car wash system in the USA requires an automated drying system. Sometimes the wash garages charge additional for drying the vehicle because clients want to avoid driving away half-dried or spotty cars. The forced drying systems glow off moisture after a vehicle wash but leave almost 20% surface water on the vehicle surface. The moisture is either wiped away or slides off the car when the customer drives away.
