FRP stands for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, a lightweight material mainly used to construct chemical storage units, industrial equipment, apparatus, piping, and others. FRP wall boards and panels have been used in walls for years, but vinyl is taking over the market now. Vinyl panels are innovative and designed to improve the installation and maintenance experience.

FRP is more expensive than vinyl

FRP is not the best because even though it is a cheap material, the installation cost is higher and you cannot consider it as a long-lasting solution. Call now for a free consultation at 323-352-9279!

Have you ever considered the huge FRP cost?  It’s so expensive, and when the recent trend is cost-cutting, why must you invest in such a high overall cost? The labor cost of installing FRP is very high; there is an added labor cost because it requires additional materials such as a wooden backer, glue, and fasteners. You might require two laborers to attach the backers, so the cost increases. Instead of FRP, you can install PVC because the latter is very easy and simple to install. There is no adhesive needed; instead, the installation is done screwing into the studs directly. You do not even have to screw both sides; there is an interlocking truss system which allows the installer to screw only one side of the panel. This saves labor and time; thus, your expense would be lower. The vinyl panels are incredibly lightweight; they need no adhesive or backer, and a single person can install them.  Installing FRP is laborious and requires applying trim between every panel, but in the case of PVC, it’s enough to apply trim only on the wall’s perimeter. Duramax PVC recommends not installing rotten FRP; instead, opt for PVC to save on installation labor costs.

Rotten FRP susceptible to mold growth

It’s not very easy to maintain FRP wall panels; they need wooden backers to be attached, and these backers can still absorb water and allow the growth of mold. Vinyl is a great choice because there is no backer, thus no mold growth. In between every FRP panel, some crevices can shelter dirt and bacteria. Unlike vinyl panels, FRP has a textured surface requiring more frequent cleaning and maintenance. The surface of vinyl is extremely seamless, smooth, and easy to clean. Installing wall panels is a big investment; thus, you would wish the solution existed long-term, so Duramax PVC is the answer.
