A well-reputed nursing home in California, called the Duramax PVC, the Panel team looked for a wall panel solution. They were planning to install a vinyl panel on the nursing home walls for the first time so they wanted to consult with our experts regarding the benefits of vinyl and why it would be the ideal choice. Till date, the Duramax team has installed vinyl wall panels for  many nursing homes and hospitals, the feedback is very positive.  

The vinyl panels are high-quality and water-resistant, offering zero moisture or water absorption. The panels act as a barrier for safeguarding the interior walls. This makes sure that the internal walls are prevented from mold and mildew. If you ever have in mind that FRP could also be a good wall paneling solution. You should know that FRP is not water-resistant since there are backers installed which absorb a high amount of moisture and water; it all gets trapped between the panels and internal walls to create mold and bacteria. Therefore, it’s not suitable for use in healthcare and medical facilities.
 

Medical facilities demand building materials with chemical-resistance, longevity, affordability and low maintenance. We suggested that you install vinyl panels because the panels are non-toxic and thus very much suited for clinical walls offering the right kind of insulation and chemical resistance. We are assured that the wall panels do not react to chemicals, it makes the interior safe for all patients, mainly the critical ones. Also, the panels are completely safe having a 1-hour fire grade. Which means that in case of a fire outbreak the patient will not be in critical harm. The panels are ideal for hospitals and nursing homes because of high hygiene and sanitation standards. 

This healthcare facility was eager to ensure that we supply certified and high-quality panels, thus we displayed the ASTM certified wall panels that are FDA compliant. We maintain a certain standard during the manufacturing process and all the products are quality checked before it’s out in the market. When you compare PVC to other wall paneling options, especially FRP vs PVC, vinyl has the longest lifespan you can say that these vinyl panels offer the best value for money. 

 Unlike FRP, vinyl panels have a very smooth surface and these result in the spreading of infection. There are no crevices on the surface to harbor hidden bacteria, thus again the interior remains hygienic and prevents any kind of infection. The nursing home admitted to us that the panels do not require much cleaning and when cleaning is needed the process is very simple. We assured them that PVC neither does nor demands any special or regular maintenance; one can wipe with a cloth occasionally to keep the panels clean. This nursing home uses environment-friendly detergents sometimes to keep the panels clean. 

 The distinctive combination properties make PVC an ideal wall paneling material for healthcare facilities. The panels are practically a lifetime solution because it could last for more than twenty years. PVC is easier to install when compared to FRP. In addition if you compare the FRP pricing to that of vinyl, the former is not a cost-effective solution. When you install Duramax vinyl panels you can save 40% of the material cost and 50% of the labor charges.
