As the legalization of Cannabis spreads across the United States, many businesses are experiencing a rush of traffic from an unexpected source. The adaptation of this cash crop has surged communities with an economic boom. Thousands of cultivation facilities, extraction labs, and dispensaries have opened across Colorado, Ohio, Oregon, California, and many other states. These new ventures have given huge demand for existing skills, new uses for existing products, and repurposed a lot of commercial real estate.

With medical users growing larger and larger as a consumer base, medical cannabis has become a larger focus of regulation. The medical users that have lower auto-immune systems rely on their supply of cannabis to be clean and safe. The rise of demand for pesticide testing has skyrocketed, leaving pesticide testers overwhelmed with work. Medical use has raised the standards of growing marijuana across the country, and many codes and regulations follow.

Impact of the Growing Market for Cannabis

Facility managers and building owners have been able to lease their warehouses and commercial buildings that haven’t been in use for years. Commercial warehouses are being retrofitted and repurposed for grow facilities and extraction labs in every legal state. Following this wave are new building safety codes and regulations involving fire-grade testing and sanitation standards.

Following the Cannabis specific codes and regulations, existing products have found new uses in the thriving industry. A new trend of using PVC wall panels to construct commercial cannabis facilities has been happening in California due to its short installation timeframe and ease of cleanliness attributes. These PVC panels have been manufactured to follow specific fire grade levels and hygienic FDA standards in other industries for many years. Duramax Building Projects is a distributor of PVC wall panels that have been used in car washes, restaurants, food processing plants, and more. They have found a new use for their product through the Cannabis Industry.

How are Duramax Panels relevant for cannabis grow room facilities?

Grow Rooms remain exposed to excessive moisture and chemicals and are vulnerable to dampness and chemical rotting. Moreover, unchecked mold or bacteria presence can retard plant growth and can be a hurdle in the path of a healthy yield. Popular paneling solutions like FRP, stainless steel wainscoting, and epoxy-painted concrete masonry units fail to offer an efficient solution for Grow Rooms as they come with certain downsides. 

Duramax Panels are made from virgin Vinyl and thus offer exceptional resistance, durability, versatility, and protection against mold and mildew. They completely resist moisture and humidity and help prevent dampness and other moisture issues. Moreover, these panels are designed with adherence to the stringent quality and safety standards of the FDA. They are safe for the plants and do not alter the quality of the products. They are also antibacterial in nature and eliminate the risk of fungal growth or mold formation on the surface. 

Plus, Duramax Panels are easy to install for their lightweight construction and the use of tongue and groove interlocking. These panels take little time to install, preventing unproductive operational hours. Another striking feature of these panels is the ease of maintenance that they bring along. You can evade expensive maintenance and repair with Duramax and opt for an affordable paneling solution.  

Overall the legalization of Cannabis has generated a big social impact on the communities around it. As consumer demand evolves, the cannabis industry adapts and provides new opportunities to existing skills and businesses today. Cannabis has entered the retail industry, and its sales are projected to accelerate to $53.5 billion by 2027.
