Saving the marina interiors from further damage – Discard FRP panels for marinas

02 June, 2023

How have you planned to take care of your marine facility interiors? Salty water can cause a lot of damage to the exterior which gradually spreads through the interior. The FRP panels for marinas have failed to offer protection. Damage from excess humidity is a common problem in marinas but you cannot let that happen. You need to choose special water-resistant covering to protect the walls and ceiling. Most panels available on the market are not moisture-resistant. Only PVC wall panels are manufactured implementing modern technology. These are waterproof and have many other advantages. Some common names like FRP panels, drywall have failed to protect all types of humid interiors.

Marinas develop a lot of condensation leading to dampness. A marina ought to be very much ventilated and there ought to be adequate protection. Since none of the other wall coverings, such as plywood, drywall, mylar, or FRP, are not water-resistant, we advise removing them. Choose PVC panels rather than simply painting the walls or installing tiles.

Entirely waterproof PVC panels

If you conduct a market survey, PVC wall panels are the only 100% waterproof solution that is heavily used in the residential and commercial sectors. Duramax is one of the most renowned vinyl panel manufacturers. Our panels are made of 100% virgin vinyl. They are durable and robust. The panels are completely waterproof so they themselves do not get damaged. The vinyl sheets protect the inner walls and ceiling from any water damage. Mold and mildew growth can adversely harm marina interiors. Get rid of growth by installing PVC marina wall panels that have an antibacterial coating on the surface of the panels.  

Hassle-free installation

Installing marine wall panels takes less than a day and only one contractor can handle the installation. You will not need to put resources into employing additional work and materials. Duramax boards are not difficult to etch, cut or work with. The experts use fine-tooth blades to cut the panels. The PVC sheets do not have backers, so there is no chance that moisture will get into the walls or ceiling. PVC vinyl boards are attached to the wall with studs, screws, and latches. There are tongues and grooves that make installation easier and prevent dampness from entering the panels.

No routine maintenance needed

PVC wall and ceiling panels made in the United States don’t need to be cleaned or maintained often. The smooth surface of the PVC panels prevents the accumulation of dirt and microorganisms. Clean off the outer layer of the boards to hold the sparkle. Utilize a moist fabric and a gentle cleaning specialist. We recommend against using harsh cleaning products, abrasives, or acids. PVC panels don’t hold moisture, so washing them won’t cause any problems.

White panels that do not turn yellowish

Duramax marine wall panels are 1/2 inches thick, 16 inches wide and the length varies based on your customization. The panels are white but do not turn yellow or dirty. White panels give a spacious and pristine feel to the interior. You can paint the vinyl sheets utilizing PVC-grade paint. FRP panels for marinas come in a variety of colors, but over time, they tend to lose their appeal. Tan and gray panels are only produced by Duramax when we receive bulk orders. Because the lightweight PVC panels only weigh 8 pounds, transportation is simple and does not incur any extra costs.

Certified and tested Duramax panels

Duramax PVC Panels is known for manufacturing top-notch and certified vinyl panels in the United States. Over the past four decades, we have designed panels for walls and ceilings. Vinyl panels for both residential and commercial use have been ordered by our customers. Duramax PVC wall boards have both the ASTM and CFIA certifications. Our PVC boards likewise follow the FDA rules. The PVC wall panels are lightweight, so transportation is not a hassle or expensive. PVC wall panels do not have any toxic components so they are safe for installing inside areas where kids and pets have access. The panels are non-porous and eco-friendly. The panels are resistant to stains, abuses, and higher impacts. Vinyl panels have a Class A fire grade. The vinyl sheets are light-reflective so that you can lower your energy bills. In addition, you can install fewer LED lights to light up the space. The vinyl panels are eco-friendly, so they can be recycled several times without producing much waste material.

Panels that last for 100 years

PVC boards are adaptable and utilized for different applications. Before being shipped, each panel is checked and tested for quality. Marine wall panels made of PVC last for a very long time. They can keep going for over a century. FRP panels have a shelf life of 20 to 25 years only. Within a few years, FRP panels delaminate, crack, and peel off. As a result, FRP sheets need to be fixed frequently, which costs money in the long run. It does not merit putting resources into FRP boards so be wise to install PVC panels.

Replace the FRP panels today

Make sure there are no leaks and fix them before installing marine wall panels. Additionally, adequate ventilation should be provided to let out the warm, damp air. Electric dehumidifiers can be used to control overheating. Chemical dehumidifiers also work. Installing or removing FRP panels for marinas is not recommended. Change to Duramax PVC vinyl boards for an enduring outcome. Due to several drawbacks, FRP wall panels are no longer used. We have interacted with clients who lament introducing FRP boards.
