FRP wall panels are being replaced by reliable vinyl sheets. The time of FRP panels has gone because they had certain disadvantages. Businesses are embracing the durable and functional PVC panels because the old FRP walls are already damaged. This time you are choosing to install a lifetime solution by investing in PVC sheets. Vinyl sheets are suitable for commercial spaces that have humidity and moisture inside. Vinyl panels are heavily used in the building and construction sector for interior use. Choose a renowned manufacturer in the US that designs premium PVC sheets. Vinyl panels have made a mark and are here to stay. No other wall and ceiling panels have similar advantages as PVC panels.

Hire a single contractor to install vinyl panels

The vinyl sheets are ½ inch thick, the width is 16 inches and the length can be customized. PVC panels can be installed perfectly by a single contractor within 7 to 8 hours. The vinyl panels are fixed directly to the studs and there are invisible fasteners. This is why the sheet can be reused. The panels practically do not have backers. This is why the dampness cannot seep into the walls. FRP panels are not very easy to install and the task cannot be handled by a single contractor. 

Easy cleaning – PVC panels

The PVC panels can be washed anytime because you do not have to worry about water seepage inside the panels. Cleaning is not expensive or time-consuming. We suggest wiping the surface of the vinyl sheets using a mild cleaner and a damp cloth. Do not use rough chemicals, acids or abrasives. No special workforce is required to do the cleaning because it is not a daily task. Vinyl panels have a smooth surface that does not have any crease so they do not attract impurities, any bacteria or microorganisms. White color panels made of any other material would turn yellowish with time. FRP wall panels have a rough surface that makes cleaning difficult and time consuming. Do not wash FRP panels because it would attract moisture and humidity causing damage to the panels and the walls.  

White PVC panels – Duramax

PVC panels are available in a clean white color. The panels do not get tinted or get yellowish with time. FRP panels are available in different colors but they easily fade with time. After installing the PVC panels, you can manage the décor and customize accordingly. Vinyl sheets are light-reflective, the panels equally distribute the entire reflected light. We recommend installing LED lights but in lesser numbers. This reduces the monthly energy bills and you can save a considerable amount. FRP panels do not offer any such savings at all. Vinyl panels add cleanliness and hygiene to the commercial interior space.

The cost of PVC panels vs FRP panels

Vinyl panels are installed in car washes, restaurants, commercial kitchens, breweries, shipping containers, fisheries, riding stables, warehouses etc. The price of FRP panels is initially less compared to PVC panels. A raw FRP panel costs $70 only while PVC panels would cost $83.58. The cost of installing PVC panels is only a mere $5 and the total comes to $88.58. But the cost of installing FRP panels is $141.50 which is double the cost of the raw panels. FRP panels are not long-lasting so paying such a high price is not worth it. The panels warp, delaminate and get damaged easily within a few years of the installation.

Duramax PVC Panels – USA-made vinyl panels
