Taking a step towards improving the hygiene of a food processing unit – Installing food processing wall panels

27 February, 2023

A food processing unit is a huge commercial space with too many machines installed. Continuous heat is generated from the machines as they keep processing food. This is the primary reason for humidity inside food processing units. This moisture keeps accumulating on the walls and ceiling to cause intense damage. You have invested a lot of money in establishing the food processing unit. So, take care of it to protect the interior including the machines and the workers’ health. You must choose wall and ceiling panels suitable for a food processing unit. Various types of panels are available, but most fail to curb humidity and improve the aesthetics. Choose PVC food processing wall panels

100% waterproof PVC panels

Wastewater from the food processing unit can be a cause of dampness. You should check for adequate drainage because of a high volume of wastewater flow. Despite that we recommend you install PVC food processing wall panels on the walls and ceiling. The vinyl sheets are 100% waterproof and do not have backers. This acts as a barrier between the walls and the panels. The panels are also coated with an antibacterial layer that arrests mold and mildew growth on the panels’ surface.

Light-reflective PVC panels

Duramax PVC food processing wall panels are durable and robust. They are made from 100% virgin and premium-quality raw vinyl. The panels are ½ inch thick and 16 inches wide and the length varies. The vinyl sheets are long-lasting and can last up to 100 years. FRP panels on the other hand remain in good condition for only 20-25 years. Most business owners prefer installing PVC boards over FRP panels for maximum space utilization and permanent covering. Vinyl sheets are available in white color and they do not get yellowish with time. We design gray panels only upon receiving bulk orders. Do not be tempted to invest in colorful FRP boards because they fade away quickly. PVC boards are light-reflective. They can equally distribute the reflected light so you can have adequate light by installing fewer LED lights. 

Vinyl panels installed within 7 to 8 hours

Are you planning to install food processing wall panels inside the commercial kitchen? The panels are cut to shape before the installation. The process is relatively inexpensive and inexpensive. PVC sheets, once installed, do not require repairs or replacement. Duramax offers a $25,000 money-back guarantee. Food processing wall panels are fixed to the studs directly with concealed screws or fasteners. These panels can be installed in a vertical as well as a horizontal manner. The vinyl boards have interlocking grooves and tongues that prevent moisture seepage and initiate faster installation. An expert local contractor can install PVC sheets within 7 to 8 hours. These panels suit cleanrooms, wet environments and other commercial or residential spaces requiring hygiene. While installing PVC panels, you do not need OSB backers. Installing vinyl panels requires almost half the material and labor costs.

No daily cleaning and maintenance required

A food processing unit needs cleaning and maintenance. Do not worry because the PVC panels can be washed as many times. Moisture or water droplets would never seep into the walls and ceiling. Vinyl boards do not attract a lot of dirt or impurities. They can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and a mild cleanser. We would not suggest using acids, bleaches, abrasives, or harsh agents.

Our vinyl sheets are lightweight which makes transportation easier. The sheets are resistant to impacts, abuse, odor, and stains. The PVC panels are safe for interior use because they do not contain toxins and are non-reactive to chemical agents. They have a 1-hour Class A fire grade that prevents sudden fire hazards. 

FRP panels are not suitable for commercial interiors

We have interacted with many clients who are unhappy with Drywall, FRP or Mylar. They had installed FRP panels that cracked and peeled off within a few years. FRP is almost obsolete due to the various downsides and even more after the growing popularity of PVC wall panels. We would not recommend that clients install FRP boards and switch to vinyl, a permanent solution for residential and commercial interiors. Duramax panels are versatile and used for various applications.

Our statistics day is that you can save at least 40% of the material and 50% of the labor costs. Do not opt for fiber-reinforced plastic panels despite the initially low FRP costs. The high installation cost and repair expenses would eat away at your profits. The vinyl panels are available at manufacturer-direct prices.
