Entrepreneurs have installed FRP wall boards on their commercial walls for decades, owing to its initial low cost. However, over the years, it has proved its inefficiency and inability to prevent moisture penetration in the walls, thereby being deemed unfit for wet and moist commercial areas. In addition, heavy-duty business places like laundromats, commercial kitchens, shower cubicles, dog kennels, dairy parlors, breweries, etc., need to be washed and sanitized every day, owing to the required cleanliness and hygiene standards they are required to follow. Therefore, it becomes problematic to keep such places clean without fearing moisture-related damage to the wall when you rely upon FRP wall boards.

Moisture-resistant wall panels are designed using modern truss technology to ensure they stand the test of time. Their extraordinary humidity and water resistance make them a superior wall covering material to FRP. They are 4-5 times more long-lasting than FRP panels and are much more efficient in keeping humidity-related concerns at bay.

Worried About Frequent Panel Repair and Replacement? Switch to PVC Wall Panels

Suppose the excessive rise in moisture and humidity level inside business spaces like dairy parlors, dog kennels, car wash areas, etc., is ruining the structural integrity of the walls and leading to severe damage. In that case, it is time to reconsider the wall panel you are using. FRP wall panels are unpopular among entrepreneurs, especially because of their non-waterproofing abilities. In addition, their porous surface allows moisture to seep through and breed bacterial and mold growth, thereby promoting an unhygienic and unclean environment. FRP wall panels are even more unsuitable for professional business areas like breweries, dog kennels, hospitals, restaurants, laundromats, etc., because of their inability to retain their original color.

Often, entrepreneurs must replace them or invest in expensive repairs only because their color has faded. Discolored wall panels are red flags that a business needs to take care of its interiors. More so, it also contributes toward an unaesthetic commercial space. Not looking after the business aesthetics will eventually lead you to lose the broad customer base you built over the years. Duramax’s PVC panels don’t need replacement and repair during their 100-year lifespan, and it comes with a $25,000 money-back guarantee. In addition, they can prevent moisture penetration and mold and mildew from accumulating on the walls, promoting a healthy environment.

Get Damage-Free Walls at a Cost-Friendly Price

The FRP cost is $70 for the material, which looks cheaper than vinyl panels which are priced at $83.58; however, the former’s installation and maintenance process is both complex and expensive. The overall cost required to install FRP sheets is $141.50, compared to vinyl-made panels, which only take $88.58. So the total cost for FRP installation is more expensive than the PVC panel board’s total installation charge. In addition, vinyl-made panels boast a lightweight design which reduces your transportation cost. 

Install the Vinyl Walls Board without Investing in Additional Materials and Labor

Unlike FRP’s requirement for professional installers and various materials for its installation, the vinyl board panels are easy to install. They need only a mere 7-8 hours to get installed, and even a novice can only do it with prior experience and skill. PVC commercial wall panels include tongue and groove mechanisms that can be interlocked. Besides, you can get it done with only one labor. FRP panel installation needs more than one mechanic because it involves backers and adhesives. So apart from time, you save 40% on labor and 50% on material costs. Besides, the inclusiveness of invisible fasteners and studs helps the panels make a statement once installed. It creates a seamless finish and renders a professional look to the building.

Allow Your Commercial Space to Receive Abundant Light without High Electricity Bills

Every commercial sector needs access to sufficient lighting to operate and function properly. The continuity of any business with proper lighting is possible, especially those involved in processing food items, packaging meat products, dog kennels, laundromats, warehouses, basements, shipping containers, restaurants, kitchens, etc. Lighting is a crucial factor for cannabis grow rooms and helps the plants with photosynthesis and overall growth and development. Dairy parlors are dependent upon lighting to keep their animals active and stress-free. Installing artificial lighting, however, means you have to allocate a significant budget. Budget allocation is possible only if you have a flourishing business, lest you compromise on other aspects. Light-reflective PVC panels are helpful as they come with equal light distribution quality. They use their unique light-reflective property to keep your commercial space well-lit while reducing electricity bills.

Stop Neglecting Your Commercial Walls, Install Low-Maintenance Panels

Since looking after a full-fledged business is no small deal, you might need more time to maintain its interiors. FRP wall panels cannot perform well in damp areas because they aren’t water-resistant, unlike PVC panels. They aren’t even impervious to moisture-attack, resulting in quicker delamination. Mold and dirt removal from FRP panels is difficult; you might also need to scrub them regularly. Amidst all the business endeavors, if you are finding it difficult to keep up with the complex cleaning procedure of FRP wall panels, then move on to US-made PVC panels immediately. Their smooth white surface doesn’t pick up dirt and microorganisms, making the maintenance procedure easier and quicker.

Odor-Resistant Panels Are Here to Maintain A Fresh Environment

For places like dog kennels, meat packaging units, food processing facilities, commercial kitchen, and dairy parlors where moisture and condensation level is high, the chances of unwanted odor is always a possibility. Uncontrolled humidity gives rise to a smelly environment. Installing odor-resistant panels can ensure you can meet the required sanitation standards without much investment.
