Richard called us for vinyl wall paneling around the walls of his grow room, he was looking for a waterproof solution. He could see the grow room walls getting damaged due to so much dampness on the walls. Grow rooms already have moisture and such an environment is considered ideal for the growth of medicinal plants. Now before investing in vinyl panels, he also asked us why PVC is better than FRP and we explained him in detail.

Water-resistivity is a feature that vinyl panels have and if you believe that FRP is also waterproof, it’s actually not. It’s because FRP has backers made of OSB, Plywood or Drywall which tends to absorb moisture which gets trapped in-between the walls and the panels to form mold and bacteria. Vinyl panels do not have backers and this is the reason why these panels do not absorb water or moisture at all. This is a major difference between PVC and FRP that we explained to Richard. This makes vinyl panel mold and bacteria resistant and ideal for installing in grow rooms. Moisture is good for the medicinal plants but surely not for the walls, making informed decisions is very important.

Now safety is also a matter of concern and even before Richard wanted to know about it, we already shared the information with him that the vinyl panels are made of high-quality vinyl sheets and have a 1-hour fire-grade which can prevent any immediate fire hazard. All the panels are FDA compliant and ASTM tested, also the products are tested for quality before it’s out in the market for sale. Richard already decided to install our panels for cannabis grow room walls.

Incase Richard or any of our clients wanted to save on energy bills, white and light-reflective PVC panels is the right solution. The panels after installation are capable of evenly distributing the reflected light. This is something Richard was looking for because grow rooms need light for the healthy growth of the plants. Usually grow room owners have to spend a hefty amount on energy bills because light is an essential factor. We have many customers who have installed vinyl panels in their grow rooms and we also offer consultation to clients who are interested to do the same. Vinyl has the longest lifespan when compared to all other types of wall paneling.

Richard was looking for a low maintenance solution, after installing he wrote to us “Thank you for offering such high quality and low maintenance panels. Now I am sure that my grow room walls are going to shine without reinvestment.” Unlike FRP, PVC has a silky and cervice-free surface which is easy to clean, does not need regular cleaning as it gives no chance for bacteria to thrive.

Richard also realized how easy it is to install the PVC panels. He did not have to invest any amount on hiring any extra laborers except one expert who performed the installation very quickly. He also did not have to spend any money on buying materials like backers, adhesives, lamination, rivets etc.

Once installed, PVC panels can last up to 20-25 years without showing signs of damage, it’s pretty long and almost a lifetime. If you wish to do the same like Richard, please book a free consultation and visit our website. Contact us for a free sample and request for a quote.
