Kevin owns a grow room and now he wants to maintain it as the walls are showing sings of dampness. Grow room walls are very prone to attracting moisture mainly because the interior environment is always so filled with moisture. While running a grow room you can never get rid of moisture because the factor is considered ideal for healthy growth of medicinal plants. But what happens to the walls? This is why we suggested Kevin to cover up with vinyl wall panels. He shared with us that previously he has FRP panels installed but those were coming off and the walls have been heavily exposed to damp. FRP inspite of being made of plastic has a tendency to soak in moisture through the backers and when this happens regularly, the moisture sticks inside causing the panels to come off as well as the walls.

When Kevin was worried about his indoor grow room facility, we assured him that Duramax vinyl panels are premium quality water-resistant ones. Yes, if you ask why PVC is better than PVC, there are enough reasons but the primary one being the water-resistivity. Due to this, the panels are also anti-bacterial and mold-resistant. Now, according to Kevin and other clients how does Duramax assure quality? All our vinyl panels are ASTM tested this ensures that all the products are FDA compliant which means we adhere to the set guidelines while manufacturing the panels and all are quality tested prior delivery. 

Safety is also a very essential factor not only for Kevin but for all the customers. PVC panels are very safe from all aspects; the panels have a 1-hour fire grade which can save from any instant fire accident.  The vinyl panels are chemical resistant which is also helpful because the grow room plants need various fertilizers, nutrients but any of those coming in contact to the walls won’t cause damage. When you compare vinyl with any other wall panels, especially FRP wall boards, the former have the longest lifespan. PGVC panels also to help to maintain the overall hygiene of your grow room so that the plants can grow healthily without getting infected by mold and bacteria.

We already told Kevin that he does not need to put efforts in cleaning the panels, the surface of our panels are very smooth, there are no cervices so no bacteria can hide on or underneath the surface. But FRP has a very rough and uneven surface which is difficult to clean.

 Kevin knows that PVC panels are better than FRP. Comparing the FRP cost to that of PVC, he feels that he needed to spend more on maintaining the FRP panels but finally it did not last long but we assured him that PVC would be almost a lifetime solution. PVC panels do not need backers, adhesives, lamination, rivets and any other material. Only one professional is enough to complete the installation in the fastest time. On the other hand, FRP needs backers (OSB, Drywall or Plywood), lamination, adhesive etc. Also, a minimum of two professionals are mandatory to do the FRP installation but it tends to show signs of peeling, prone to callbacks and delaminates. PVC once installed remains as good as new for years.
