The FRP panel was a popular wall and ceiling covering solution. This was until PVC panels emerged in the market. Now that there is a clear understanding about the drawbacks of the FRP panel, it is almost obsolete. Customers who chose to install fiber reinforced plastic panels are now taking off the worn-out panels to replace them with new PVC panels. The latter is now an ideal replacement for all other types of walls and ceiling covering.

PVC plastic wall panels have gained immense popularity due to the various advantages. These panels are heavily used in the residential and commercial sector. The market is growing in the USA and there would be no looking back. Vinyl panels are a solution for the walls and ceiling that people have been waiting for years.

PVC installation is as easy as it can get

PVC panels have an easy and hassle-free installation process. The panels do not have backers instead attached to the studs directly. The PVC panels have interlocking tongues and grooves that prevent humidity from reaching the surface. The interlocking pattern also facilitates faster installation. One experienced contractor can do the installation within 7-8 hours. 

Do you have any idea that FRP wall panel installation is full of hassle and expensive? The boards are heavy and require extra labor and material cost for the installation. The panels are attached to the backers that soak in moisture from the surface of the panels. This only damages the walls and ceiling beyond repairs. More than one person can install the panels which is unlike a single contractor installing PVC boards.

Simple cleaning and maintenance

PVC panels have a soft surface that does not have creases so they do not attract a lot of impurities. They do not require regular cleaning or heavy maintenance. But in case you have installed vinyl panels in a space like a meat packaging unit or a commercial kitchen, they need washing. There is nothing to fear washing the panels because they do not attract moisture and humidity. Otherwise, a simple cleaning would involve wiping the surface with a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. FRP wall panels have a rough surface that accumulates impurities and stains. They require higher maintenance but still do not look as good as new. The panels attract mold and cleaning is a chore. You might also have to hire cleaning professionals.

The vinyl panel is coated with an anti-bacterial covering to prevent mold and mildew growth. So, they remain free from attacks of microorganisms.

Choose white PVC panels because they do not fade or stain

Vinyl panels are available in only white color. This makes the interior spacious and hygienic. It is true that FRP boards are available in different shades but they fade out too soon. The PVC panels are light-reflective. The panels can equally distribute the total reflected light. You do not require installing too many lights so you can save money on your energy bills. The plastic wall panels are free from stains, abuses, and impacts. The panels are at least 4 times more long lasting than FRP wall boards. They can be recycled and they do not produce a lot of waste.

A single-time investment – It is for a century

PVC panel is a single-time investment so you do not have to worry about repairs or replacement. Vinyl panels have a shelf-life of more than 100 years. On the other hand, FRP sheets have a total life cycle of 20-25 years. Within these years you are also investing frequently on repairs and finally choosing to replace. Are you not losing out money in order to maintain FRP panels? PVC panels are a feasible solution for the walls and ceiling. Most people have already taken off FRP sheets and chosen FRP panels.
