Recently indoor farming is a growing trend, which is why grow rooms are extremely popular in the USA. Cannabis is a very sensitive plant that requires optimum conditions to grow. The $61 billion cannabis industry in the US is expanding as more and more people are taking an interest in the trade. Some of the recent key statistics about the cannabis industry in the USA are that about 12% of Americans actively use marijuana, and the sales will increase to 67% almost in 2020. The extreme weather conditions throw a tough challenge to cannabis growers. They have shifted to growing cannabis indoors by setting up grow rooms and covering the interior with vinyl FDA-compliant commercial wall panels. Grow rooms are set up in old garages, basements, attic, in unused rooms and indoors. 

Humidity is a boon, and excess is not good

Grow rooms are very sensitive to heat, light, cold, and humidity. Fresh air is circulated through activated carbon inside a filter. An odor is thrown out of the room, and fresh air is filled inside. It is important to choose the correct size room so that the filters work. Despite the filters, some amount of humidity is produced which promotes plant growth. A humidity level of more than 70% is not good for the growth of the plants. The level of humidity differs based on the season. For instance, the moisture level is higher during the monsoons and if there is inadequate ventilation. An insulated controlled environment is the requirement for maintaining the correct internal condition. 

Waterproof and durable vinyl panels 

Premium quality vinyl is used to manufacture durable and waterproof vinyl panels. Excess humidity promotes the growth of mold, bacteria and microorganisms that can affect the health of the plants. There will be no dampness and mold growth if your grow room walls and ceiling are covered with vinyl commercial wall panels. In addition, top-notch vinyl panels from Duramax have a Class A, 1- hour fire resistance. 

Grow room commercial wall panels – a solution for a lifetime

When you install vinyl panels once, you never have to think of replacing them. Our panels are a long-term solution to protect the walls and ceiling. Repairing brick and mortar structures is expensive and reinstalling panels also involves high costs. It is a sound idea to invest in PVC panels once and not be worried. Duramax panels can last for almost 40-45 years or more without any routine maintenance. PVC panels are light-reflective, which can save your energy bills in the long term. Installing external light is the driving factor in the growth of medicinal plants, so installing PVC panels is a great choice.
