Duramax Commercial Kitchen Wall Panels: For A Hygienic And Humidity-Free Interior

Damp and mold-ridden walls in commercial kitchens lead to hygiene issues that can affect the quality of the food and the health of the occupants. The most effective and practical solution is to install commercial kitchen walls that are moisture and mold-resistant. PVC panels from Duramax are a reliable choice for their impressive features and affordability. PVC panels excel in performance compared to other wall paneling solutions. Explore the advantages of installing PVC panels for commercial kitchens. 

How are PVC panels ideal for commercial kitchens? 

Commercial kitchens are a hub of excessive moisture exposure, fluctuating temperatures from ovens running around the clock, and stubborn stains from food spills. Hence, choosing a wall cladding option that can meet these requirements is crucial. In addition, the solution must also be affordable to keep the construction within budget. Here’s how PVC commercial kitchen wall panels are making a difference and making daily operations hassle-free:

Remains damp-free in humid conditions

The use of water in kitchens is high. Ordinary wall panels absorb the moisture from the environment, leading to dampness and a stinky smell that reflects an unhygienic environment. On the other hand, Duramax PVC panels are inherently resistant to moisture and humid conditions. They are made from 100% virgin vinyl and have a non-porous and seamless surface. It does not absorb or seep in moisture that could accumulate underneath the panels and affect the walls. This also prevents the scope of rotting and damp patches in the kitchen interior. 

Keeps mold and mildew at bay

PVC panels have a smooth surface. The absence of crevices eliminates the risk of mold and mildew harbouring on the joints. They also come with an antibacterial coating that prevents bacterial or microbial infestation in the interior. Thus, ensuring a contamination-free kitchen space that does not interfere with the quality and conditions of cooking. 

Effortless cleaning saves time and money

Kitchens, whether commercial or residential, require daily cleanup to maintain sanitary conditions in cooking and prep counters. PVC kitchen and restaurant wall panels are stain-resistant and provide a waterproof and crevice-free surface. These physical aspects make cleaning easy without the hassle of rigorous scrubbing and cleaning procedures. You can simply use a damp cloth and mild detergent to wipe down the panels for a spotless appearance. Alternatively, you can opt for a pressure wash using a normal garden hose. The ease of cleaning saves you time, money, and resources during peak hours. 

Durable to endure accidental knocks

Duramax panels are ½” thick and have a unique inner webbed truss design, ensuring excellent strength and durability. These panels can withstand the daily wear and tear, plus the accidental knocks and strong impacts, without falling apart or being damaged. They do not rot, mold, fade, crack, or peel off over the years. The outstanding rigidity of these panels makes them a one-time investment, warding off the need for frequent repairs and replacements. 

Fire rated for safety 

Large and multiple ovens run for hours in commercial kitchens, posing the risk of unforeseen fire incidents. Wall paneling options like wood, drywall, and FRP panels can fuel a fire and cause massive destruction. On the contrary, PVC panels are class-1 fire-resistant. They can endure an hour of fire and flame without damage or releasing toxic gases. They also do not fuel a fire, ensuring a safe exit for the occupants. 

Meets the hygiene standards for inspections

When running a food business, you must meet the hygiene and quality standards without fail. Installing PVC commercial kitchen walls helps you pass the inspections as they are CFIA and FDA compliant. These panels are also ASTM certified after rigorous quality tests. They allow you to maintain the ideal cleanliness requirements for cocking and prep spaces. 

Easy installation does not hinder working hours

Unlike FRP and drywall that requires skilled labor and special equipment for installation, PVC panels are easy to install. Their lightweight and interlocking design makes the process simple and fast. While FRP panels need wooden backer boards to support them, PVC panels directly screw into the walls with studs and fasteners. The ease of the process ensures that one person can easily handle the installation. 

Cost-effective in every aspect

Finally, PVC panels are also cost-effective in the long run. Installing PVC panels can save up to 50% on labor costs and 40% on material expenses, compared to FRP panels. Further, these panels are low maintenance, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming upkeep. You can cut down on expenses further by choosing Duramax panels.
