Peter owns a car garage and contacted the Duramax professionals because his garage walls were coming off and he wanted to get rid of the old FRP and install a new wall paneling. Like everyone, Peter also knew that vinyl panels are the most modern wall paneling solution.

 
He was looking for a durable wall paneling, something that would really last long because a garage improvement is a matter of quite a big expense. Now we suggested that he choose PVC because no other material is as durable as this one. Duramax panels are durable because of the high quality vinyl that is used to manufacture the panels. The panels are going to take care of his garage walls because PVC panels are completely water-resistant, also mold-resistant and the panels have a 1-hour fire grade. On the other hand, FRP has one very big disadvantage that it seeps water through the backers and the water accumulates between the panels are backers to form mold and the wall perishes. Peter was relieved because he cares much about safety. We assured him that the vinyl panels are manufactured maintaining all standards because the products are ASTM tested and made sure they are FDA compliant.

Peter does not want a dark garage but he knows that his garage receives less sunlight but we have a solution for him. The car wash wall panels are white in color and light-reflective which means it distributes the reflected light evenly. No chemical would harm his garage walls because the panels are chemical resistant as well. PVC panels have the longest lifespan when compared to other wall paneling materials. This ensures that PVC panels once installed would last really long and this would save Peter from reinvestment anytime soon.

The panels are also easy to clean and Peter is a busy man, its ideal for him because he would not be able to invest much time in maintaining the walls. The surface of the panels is very smooth, there are no grains and cervices and this ensures there are no hidden bacteria on the surface. Installing PVC panels can also maintain the sanitary conditions of the interior. It’s important to keep a car wash garage clean to prevent mold formation, damp and foul smell and to keep your vehicle in good condition.

The FRP pricing and PVC cost are nearly the same but the expense rises during the installation and maintenance. Peter remembers spending more money on installing FRP because he needed to buy backers (OSB, Drywall and Plywood), adhesive, lamination, rivets and more. He also had to hire a minimum of two trained professionals to complete the installation. But now, while installing PVC panels only one professional is enough to complete the installation fast and no backers, adhesive, lamination or rivets are needed during the installation.  According to Duramax, PVC cuts down 40% of the excess material cost and 50% of the labor cost.

Peter has already seen how FRP due to its nature showed quick signs of peeling off and delaminating. PVC panels are not prone to damage due to water vapor or moisture and its long lasting. After installation, Peter was satisfied with the new car wash wall panels and his garage looked renovated.
