Steve has joined his job as a manager at a men’s working hostel, and he has been given the kitchen to take charge. He was happy to see that it was generally hygienic, but his sincerity forced him to think about long-term hygiene. He saw visible dampness on the kitchen walls and was concerned; he knew that it needed to be mended. He reported to the administration and wanted to cover the walls. 

He was aware of wall panels, but he did a thorough research about the various wall paneling materials available in the market. He asked his friends and colleagues about the most feasible solution. Most suggested plastic panels, so he wanted to do thorough research over the internet. He got in touch with Duramax and discovered that we are leading PVC panel companies offering solutions for more than 40 years. 

Choose PVC over FRP for your commercial kitchen:

Steve immediately booked a consultation with us and wanted to know more about our panels. We had our experts explain everything clearly and concretely so that he could make an informed decision. A commercial kitchen is a heavy-duty zone; there is so much moisture, food stain, oil spills, smoke, grime, food particles sticking to the walls, so a bare wall cannot endure so much. If the kitchen is not maintained, it could lead to food poisoning due to the unhygienic environment; it will directly affect the quality of food. We suggested that he install vinyl commercial kitchen wall panels.

Now we explain to Steve why only vinyl can be the ideal solution and not FRP? We get similar questions from many who ask us differences between a PVC and FRP panel. We are more than happy to share information, so keep reading. Vinyl panels are capable of maintaining the walls 100% dry when installed in a moist environment. If you ask us the reason, there is a logic behind that you readers should understand. PVC panels do not have backers, so it does not absorb moisture, and the walls remain dry for years. The panels do not absorb water keeping the walls protected for almost 25-30 years without any maintenance.

On the other hand, FRP has backers made of OSB, Drywall, and Plywood. These backers absorb moisture, which does deep into the walls causing the growth of mold and bacteria. This gradually eliminates the panels and damages the walls, which sometimes goes beyond repair. 

Why choose Duramax PVC: 

Some of the salient features of our panels are:

• These are light-reflective, thus can save on energy bills.
• Our panels are ASTM certified, FDA compliant.
• The panels have a 1-hour fire grade, also chemical resistant.

According to statistics, you can save 40% of the material expenses and 50% of the labor expenses than FRP. Steve was very happy with the installation; the hostel administration was impressed.
