This is the story of Peter, a sincere restaurant owner who believed in keeping his restaurant clean, hygienic and remains inspection ready. So, this time he sounded quite unhappy about the old walls that were already peeling off and he called us for a solution. He discovered that his panels were soaking in too much moisture mainly because heavy cooking goes on inside the kitchen and so many customers come and go and food is served to them. So, the overall appearance of the restaurant was not that impressive now.

He shared with us that once he installed fiber reinforced panel and now it’s all peeling giving a dull look to the walls. If he would not renovate, he would surely lose out on customers. We suggested that he invest in durable PVC panels and he immediately agreed to it after hearing of the benefits.

So, we visited the site and had one company expert do the entire installation after which his restaurant was entirely renovated and he was more than happy with the solution we offered. The vinyl used is of high quality and water-resistant, mold and bacteria resistant. Peter was very interested in installing PVC panels in his restaurant because of the anti-bacterial properties. A restaurant that has such a wall panel installed is confident of serving fresh food and can ensure an odorless restaurant.

PVC panels do not absorb any amount of moisture, water of water vapor leaving the wall dry and in good condition for years. But after installing plastic panels Peter understood that the panels did soak in a lot of moisture. Discussing with our team he came to know that FRP panels do have issues related to water seepage mainly because of the backers that take in the moisture to the walls. The moisture gets stuck in between the backers and walls harming the panels as well as the walls.

When it comes to safety measures Peter is very serious and he asked us whether the panels are combustible, he was looking for a safe solution since a kitchen can lead to an accidental fire hazard. So, we assured him and we are letting all our other customers know that the panels are completely safe, and have a 1-hour fire grade which means in case there is a fire breakout, you get a 1 hour time to prevent a hazard. The panels are also chemical resistant; the panels coming in contact to any chemical would remain unaffected.

Now quality is of utmost importance and we know that no customer would compromise on it. Our vinyl panels are ASTM certified and FDA compliant, all the products are quality checked by our team before delivery in the market. Peter shared with us “I really like the white panels that reflect light so adequately.” So our panels are able to distribute the reflected light evenly. In all our PVC panels are able to maintain the sanitary standards, also the look and feel of the restaurant interior and food facility. Compared to all other wall paneling solutions, vinyl panels have the longest lifespan.

Restaurant walls do need frequent cleaning and while Peter wanted to know the ways to clean vinyl panels, he shared with us how difficult it was for him to clean FRP panels mainly due to rough surface. But vinyl panels are easy to clean and have a very smooth, cervices free surface which ensures that no bacteria can hide on or underneath the panels.
