Drywall does not stand up well to humidity and moisture. Once a widespread solution, it is now losing prominence due several disadvantages. Moisture-soaked drywall can undergo significant damage which would require a repair or replacement. It is time to install PVC panels for the walls and ceiling. Vinyl is a durable material that is used to manufacture wall and ceiling panels. This material has too many advantages compared to other wall cladding materials like FRP, drywall, plywood, etc. Why not install complete vinyl panels and not vinyl drywall?

Do you know how drywall gets wet?

Do you know what happens to drywall when it gets wet? The material gets saturated and loses its structural integrity. The panels swell, warp and get damaged. Once the inside walls and ceiling are damaged, you should get it repaired before installing any other wall and ceiling covering.

Is there a leak in the roof?

Water can drip down into the drywall which can lead to warping and discoloration of the walls and ceiling. Cases like flooding can also lead to wet drywall because the porosity helps to soak up the water. Drywall consists of white gypsum that is pressed between two thick papers covering. Drywall quickly absorbs moisture, making it prone to damage.

Vinyl panels are waterproof

Our panels are 100% waterproof so they completely resist the seepage of moisture into the surface of the panels. The vinyl sheets repel moisture keeping the surface of the panel dry and the interior protected. The vinyl sheets have an antibacterial coating that prevents the growth of mold and mildew on the surface of the panels. Vinyl drywall is nothing but drywall coated with PVC. This is not a long-lasting or waterproof solution.

Simple PVC installation

PVC panels are installed in a day using a straightforward procedure. It requires 7 to 8 hours to finish the whole procedure. The panels are attached directly to the studs and do not have backers. The interlocking tongues and grooves of the PVC panels keep humidity out of the walls and ceiling. Additionally, the interlocking pattern speeds up installation. Installation of drywall is time-consuming and costly. Installation of the heavy boards necessitates additional labor and supplies. The damage to the ceiling and walls cannot be repaired. The labor costs are higher because the drywall panels need to be installed by more than one person.

PVC panels live for the longest

PVC panels are extremely long-lasting. They have a shelf-life of more than 100 years. Drywall lasts for only 45 to 50 years and FRP lasts for 20-25 years. The vinyl panels are environment-friendly so little waste material is produced after recycling. Vinyl sheets can be recycled several times, assembled, and disassembled many times. Our panels are white in color without becoming tarnished or yellowish. The vinyl panels are also available in tan, and even gray shades are available for bulk orders. The panels are light-reflective because they distribute the reflected light evenly.

Simple cleaning and maintenance

Vinyl sheets do not require scheduled cleaning or maintenance. Clean the surface of the panels by gently wiping them with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use strong chemicals, acids, bleaches, or abrasives. PVC panels have a smooth and crease-free surface that does not attract a lot of dirt or impurities.

Do you think you can install FRP panels?

We would suggest not to choose FRP when you can install PVC sheets. Here is a difference in pricing, PVC vs FRP. FRP panels are available for $70, but is it an affordable solution? Vinyl panels are more expensive, being priced at $83.58. But, FRP sheets are expensive to install, costing almost the same as the price of the panels, which is $141.50. FRP boards are also expensive to maintain and repair. PVC panel installation costs only $5, so the total comes to $88.58. In the end, FRP boards will cost you more.
