Marinas are generally meant for small boats and recreational boaters. Marina is a public or private facility that provides mooring boats, fuel and other commercial services. Some sheltered harbors or basins have equipment fitted. Marinas offer various amenities like recreational spaces, medical facilities, and restaurants for the visitors and members. These spaces are usually administered by municipalities, private organizations or other individuals. 

Water-resistant PVC panels resist the growth of mold and bacteria

Marinas are located close to the oceans, so dampness and humidity are major issues. The interior of the marinas has a higher chance of getting affected by mold, bacteria and mildew. Marinas are enclosed spaces where humidity accumulates and causes harm to the interior. Simply painting the walls and ceiling of the marina with emulsion and installing FRP, drywall, plywood or mylar is not a feasible solution. There are different types of panels available in the market. You can choose the type panel according to your requirements. We recommend installing water-resistant and mold-resistant marine wall panels. This will offer problem-free walls for a few decades.

Easy installation process

PVC marine wall panels are easy to install with no complexities involved. There is no extra investment in purchasing materials or hiring a labor force. The panels do not have backers so the moisture does not get trapped in the walls or ceiling. The PVC panels are attached to the studs with hidden fasteners. This makes the panels reusable. The installation process is not long; it takes only 7-8 hours to complete. There is no need to hire more than one experienced local contractor for the installation. 

Simple cleaning needed for PVC panels

Smooth and slippery surfaces repel moisture and water so PCV panels are no exception. Vinyl panels have a smooth surface that does not allow the growth of bacteria beneath their surface and does not attract impurities. The panels are not prone to get damaged upon coming in contact with moisture. The washable wall panels can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Wash the panels anytime because they remain unaffected by moisture and wetness. Daily maintenance and cleaning of PVC panels are not required. Do not bleach, use harsh agents or use any abrasives.

Extended shelf life of vinyl panels

PVC panels have an impressive shelf-life of a minimum of about 45-50 years. Some panels last for more than 100 years. This is why vinyl panels are a lifetime solution for the walls and ceilings. FRP panels for marinas are not as long-lasting as PVC. FRP delaminates and peels off within a few years of installation. Installing FRP panels means frequent repair and maintenance costs in the long run. 

Renovating an old marina or installing PVC panels inside a new marina

Salty water causes more corrosion and this damages the marina interiors. We suggest installing lightweight waterproof PVC marine wall panels. The panels are shielded by an anti-mold and antibacterial covering that arrests mold growth. PVC marine wall panels are made of top-quality 100% raw vinyl. The panels are ASTM-certified, CFIA-certified and FDA-compliant. PVC panels are suitable for commercial interiors where dampness takes a toll and you wish to enhance the interior. PVC panels do not react to chemicals and other agents, they also control odor. The panels have a 1-hour Class A fire rating that prevents sudden hazards. 

Is there any leakage inside the marina?

Sometimes you might find leaks inside a marina requiring immediate attention so that no water is coming inside. Seal the leaks properly to prevent any water ingress. The interior should be well-ventilated so that warm air flows out and no humidity remains inside. There will not be any leakage if you install vinyl panels on the walls and ceiling.
