Mark owns his grow room and he has recently noticed that his grow room walls are falling off. He installed FRP panels but still those are now falling apart and he also discovered that the walls are full of damp and infested by mold. He called Duramax PVC because now he was looking for a durable solution, something better than FRP wall board surely.

Now he wants to install PVC panels for his grow rooms and it’s been over six month we have not had any sort of complaints, he is very impressed with the high quality and durable wall panels we offered him. PVC panels are water-resistant but FRP wall board even after being plastic soaks in water through the backers, causing water to accumulate in-between the walls and the backers.

Where safety is a matter of concern, our panels are very safe to use as they have a 1- hour fire grade which saves from fire hazard. Mark was very concerned about the quality because he wanted the medicinal plants to grow well, but he was content after knowing that our panels are FDA compliant and ASTM tested. All the products are quality-checked before it’s delivered to the clients. The panels are also chemical-resistant, anti-bacterial, white and light-reflective. Grow rooms do require sufficient light for the healthy growth of the plants. There needs to be a moisture-filled environment for the healthy growth of plants but if mold becomes an issue then it would affect the overall health of the grow room including the plants. This is why FRP is not the right choice for grow rooms, if you have it installed it’s high time to take it off. When you compare PVC to FRP wall board, the former has the longest lifespan.

Mark used to face issues with cleaning FRP panels due to the rough surface but now with PVC panels he finds it easy to clean. Yes, vinyl panels do not require routine cleaning or too much maintenance. The panels are quite easy to clean, the surface of the panels is very smooth and there are no cervices for hidden bacteria to reside.  

While setting up his grow room, Mark has found that PVC panels are better than FRP because PVC is easier and affordable to install. Few years ago when he installed FRP, he told us that he clearly remembers that he needed to buy materials like adhesive, backers (OSB, Drywall or Plywood), lamination, rivets and more. He also had to hire a minimum of two trained professionals to do the installation. So, in all he had to spend more money for the installation and once installed he had to spend money on repairs and maintenance. Just after a few years, the FRP started showing signs of delamination, peeling; it got prone to callbacks and absorbed moisture. Now comparing the PVC and FRP cost, installing PVC helped him save money.  According to Duramax, you can save 40% of the material costs and 50% of the labor costs.

Now Mark is very satisfied with the new grow room vinyl panels, if you have similar thoughts in mind, contact us and get a free sample. Call us today for more information. Request for a quote, we send it within a day.
