Safeguard the marina interior from the effects of salty weather and humidity – Install marine wall panels

26 September, 2022

A marina is a fancy dock generally used for yachts and sailboats. Marinas are private or public facilities that offer fuel and mooring small boats. These docks are generally owned and operated by yacht clubs, private clubs or municipal facilities. These can be standalone businesses, owned by public units or part of a resort. These marinas have a range of facilities, restaurants, medical facilities, and space for visitors. The main purpose is to ensure a space for houseboats during the boating season. This way it is easy to get out into the water and the boats also remain safe all year. Marinas is a good investment if the conditions are advantageous. It can be a great choice if your area has ample marine activity. 

Marinas are located closest to the water so the main reason for deteriorating interior is dampness and humidity. Simply painting the walls and ceiling is not sufficient to prevent the marina interior. Do not pick non-waterproof coverings like FRP panels, drywall, plywood and mylar. It is not possible to resist moisture formation inside the marinas but you can get rid of the ill effects of it. The ceiling and walls need a layer of waterproof covering to protect the interior from humidity and dampness. Many companies manufacture PVC panels in the USA, but not all have similar quality. It is important to research the top companies while searching for PVC Panel Suppliers in the USA.

White and light-reflective PVC sheets

Premium marina wall panels have many advantages. They are white in color but do not attract impurities. White panels made from any other paneling material would not remain as white as PVC sheets. The white panels offer a pristine look to the interior. We manufacture only white vinyl sheets that you can paint using PVC grade paints but we take bulk orders for grey panels. Well, you do not need to install too many lights inside the marinas to light up the space. We recommend installing a few LED lights and save on your energy bills because PVC panels are light-reflective. They can distribute the total amount of light that reflects on the surface of the panels. 

Simple and easy installation process

Vinyl marine wall panels follow a simple and hassle-free installation process and there are no complexities involved. Installing vinyl panels requires hiring no additional workforce. A single contractor can install the panels within 7 to 8 hours. You do not have to keep the marina closed for many days to install fresh panels or renovation. You do not require investing in additional materials while installing vinyl boards. The panels do not have backers, which is a big advantage because no moisture can penetrate the panels’ surface. The PVC boards are fixed to the studs with the help of screws and fasteners that are hidden. Our vinyl sheets can be reused. 

Extended shelf life of vinyl panels

PVC marine wall panels have a longer shelf life compared to other wall and ceiling covering materials. They have a shelf-life of 45 – 50 years; if well maintained, the panels can last for 100 years. Investing in a vinyl board is a lifetime solution. We do not recommend installing FRP panels for marinas because they peel off and crack within a few years. FRP sheets require frequent repairs which is a recurring expenditure. PVC sheets once installed, do not require any additional investment. 

Inexpensive cleaning and low maintenance

Vinyl panel is a low maintenance solution. They have a smooth surface that keeps moisture away and resists the growth of microorganisms on it. The surface is washable because humidity and moisture cannot seep into the walls and ceiling through the surface of the panels. The surface of the vinyl sheets can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. We recommend not to use bleaches, abrasives, or harsh cleaning agents. There are no extra costs involved in cleaning the panels. 

Does your marina have leakage?

Brine water causes corrosion inside the marina interiors. Did you check for leaks inside your marina? If you find any, it requires instant attention so that no water goes inside. You must seal the leaks to prevent any opening. The marina interior should be adequately ventilated. This helps the warm air flow out so there is no humidity inside. Upon installing PVC panels, there will not be any leakage.
