Vinyl is an extremely durable material that is used to manufacture wall and ceiling panels. Wall paneling is not a new concept, but vinyl is the most modern material used mainly to control the ill effects of moisture on the surface of the walls and ceiling. When you invest in a wall covering, you would expect it to last for years because you have invested a lot of money in it. But do you think tiles, paints, drywall, plywood, or FRP panels last long? After ample research, vinyl is used to manufacture the finest quality wall and ceiling panels. Now vinyl panels have grabbed the market due to their many advantages.

What you should know about FRP panels

FRP or fiber reinforced plastic is also a popular covering, but it now comes behind vinyl because of certain drawbacks. A lot of customers are interested to know about vinyl panels versus FRP panels. They are mainly interested in the low price of FRP panels which is an instinct. But we would suggest not choosing FRP panels for their affordability because vinyl would be a lucrative investment in the long run. We will explain to you how in this blog. After you purchase FRP panels, you have to invest in additional materials, including backers. We say that FRP is not a suitable choice for humid interiors because the backers draw in moisture that accumulates in between the panels. This is the primary reason why FRP panels delaminate and the walls are exposed to damage as well.

PVC panels – most suitable for humid interiors

Now, why should you choose PVC panels for damp interiors? Vinyl panels do not have backers, so the panels do not absorb moisture. PVC panels are attached directly to the studs and do not require any expensive accessories. In addition, PVC installation is very simple where only one contractor can complete the installation within 7-8 hours. So, you have to pay for only one installation expert. Whereas for FRP panels, you have to hire more than one contractor and it takes longer to install them.

Light-reflective and easy to maintain vinyl panels

So, finally the FRP cost goes up compared to PVC, but the former does not last long after repairs and maintenance. FRP wall panels cannot survive the dampness for long.
PVC panels require very low maintenance and you can wash without worrying about moisture absorption. The panels are white and can reflect light which can reduce your energy bills. The panels can last for almost 40-45 years without any massive maintenance.
