There is tremendous competition among carwash garage owners because car owners love to take their vehicles for grooming sessions. A modern car wash facility with a well-maintained interior gets all the attention. Maintaining a car wash space can be extremely challenging, so you need to have the interior adequately protected. Apart from a modern look, the interior should be well-ventilated, have air coolers, good drainage, and a layer of protection on the walls and ceiling. You have made a good investment in setting up that garage so do not let that go in vain. Your wash station should stand out from the rest. 

Wipe or wash PVC panels – No daily maintenance is needed

Simply painting the walls and ceiling using paint and installing drywall, Mylar, or FRP panel is not feasible. Scrubbing the walls and ceiling can damage them in the long term. The garage walls can get very dirty due to spillage of dirty water, oil, and condensation. Covering the walls and ceiling with USA-made PVC panels can simplify maintenance. Vinyl panels have a smooth surface that does not attract dirt and impurities. We suggest wiping the panels using a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Wash the car wash walls without even thinking of any damage. The panels have waterproof qualities that do not allow moisture to seep. FRP sheets are not easy to clean as they have a rough surface that attracts a lot of dirt and impurities.  

Same-day installation and can be reused

USA-made PVC panels can be installed without hassle. There is no investment in extra labor and material cost. The PVC boards are cut to shape perfectly before installation. The viny boards do not have backers, so this does not allow moisture and humidity to seep into the panels. The PVC sheets are attached to the studs with screws and fasteners. The vinyl boards have grooves and tongues that make the installation procedure easier. So the panels can be reused. One local contractor can install the vinyl panels inside a car wash garage within 7 to 8 hours. On the other hand, installing FRP panels is expensive and involves hassle. More than one contractor is required to install the panels, which involves extra material costs. 

PVC boards – an affordable solution in the long run

Do you know the total of purchasing and installing FRP panels? Before investing, it is important to know whether PVC boards are more expensive than FRP panels. Raw FRP sheets are available at $70, whereas raw PVC boards cost $83.58. There is more to it before you jump to a conclusion. You need to spend only $5 to install a vinyl board which is very affordable as the total cost comes to $88.58. But, installing the FRP sheet costs almost another $70, so the total cost comes to $141.50. FRP boards will only be a short-term solution after spending a large amount of money. 

Astonishing shelf-life of PVC panels

The water-resistant wall panel is a lifetime solution. The panels last for 40 to 45 years without regular maintenance. The boards can even last for more than a century. But, FRP panels have certain drawbacks, unlike PVC sheets. Fiber-reinforced plastic sheets are obsolete as customers embrace a more effective and modern solution. If you have old FRP boards installed in car washes, take those off and install a new waterproof covering. You can only eliminate issues like delamination, cracking, and peeling.
