Animal husbandry has its own importance because livestock are raised in a scientific manner under proper environmental conditions. Poultry farming is popular in the USA due to the huge demand for meat and eggs. The common birds involved in poultry farming are chickens, ducks, pigeons, geese, turkey, etc. The well-known farms raise birds that are farmed under adequate care for healthy eggs and meat production. These food items are a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The waste material is used as manure that makes the soil fertile. There are many daily wage workers working in poultries who are employed. So, the poultry business is contributing actively to the US economy.

Do not scrub the walls hard

But do you know that you need to maintain the poultry to ensure good health of the birds, healthy meat and eggs and good health of the workers. A poultry where there are ample birds can get dirty and smelly every day. There is a separate cleaning team for daily maintenance. But, a layer of water-resistant covering on the walls and ceiling can be an added advantage. Scrubbing the bare walls can harm its texture and allow dampness to stay and seep inside further causing immense damage. PVC wall panels do not attract too much stains and can keep odor under control. It protects the walls and ceiling underneath. The boards do not require daily maintenance or cleaning.

Easy to clean and wash

The panels can be washed with a hose if they look extremely dirty and you do not have to think twice. The panels do not seep in any amount of moisture so it does not matter how many times you wash the walls. Apart from this, occasionally clean the boards using a cleaning agent and a soft cloth to keep the shine on. Do not apply bleaches or acids as it can harm the panels. Poultries that have FRP panels installed crib of heavy cleaning and maintenance regime. FRP boards have a rough texture that attracts a lot of impurities and it becomes the breeding ground for mold. They are not water-resistant so each wiping or washing attracts moisture into the walls and ceiling.

Easy and hassle-free installation

Can you imagine that vinyl panels can be installed in just 7 to 8 hours. You need not be worried if you have an existing poultry plant and plan to install panels there. The same day installation by one local contractor makes the process inexpensive. There is no investing in additional labor and no investment in extra materials. The vinyl boards have an interlocking pattern in the form of grooves and tongues that work together to make the process easier. The panels can be reused several times. The boards are cut to shape and made ready for installation. The panels are attached to the studs via screws and fasteners that are not made visible.

Do you know that FRP installation is not as simple as vinyl?

It takes more than a couple of labors to complete the process and various other extra materials for a successful installation. The charges are more but the longevity is less. Yes, FRP panels chip off, crack, and delaminate easily upon encountering moisture. You are left with no option but repairing them frequently and finally replacing them after a few years. So, why not invest in PVC panels which could be a long-term solution? The boards can at least last for 45-50 years and even more than a century. PVC sheets are a lifetime investment so it is worth spending every dollar. Once installed they do not require any repairs. The wise ones can make a faster choice.

Humidity – the foe

Humidity can play a big role in making the birds inside sick. Prolonged humidity can cause the walls to dampen which gives birth to mold and mildew. There are poultries where birds have fallen sick and even died due to moisture and excess humidity. The environment, temperature and condition play a big role in the health of the birds. Most exteriors are made of wood that attracts a lot of moisture. Covering the poultry interior with vinyl panels can help a lot. Duramax panels are 100% water-resistant so they keep the walls and ceiling protected from excess moisture invasion. The vinyl boards are also laden with an antibacterial covering that prevents the growth of mold. FRP panels are not suitable for humid commercial or residential interiors.

It is not mandatory to keep it white because you can use a vinyl-grade interior paint to color the PVC boards. FRP sheets are colorful but they last for a very short time as it fades away soon.
