The wall paneling market in the USA has expanded to a huge extent and it will grow leaps and bounds in the next few years. These wall and ceiling panels are now heavily used in the commercial sector. The pandemic did hit hard but the wall panels market did not get much affected. The market experienced steady growth due to the heavy demand for PCV partitions for hospitals and panels to set up temporary shelters. Gone are those days when paints used to be the only reliable wall covering solution. Now drywall, plywood and FRP Panels are becoming obsolete due to the advent of PVC panels. Vinyl panels are a long-lasting solution for humid commercial walls and ceilings. Decorative PVC panels are made from extruded polyvinyl chloride and have unique designs. Vinyl walls help in adding aesthetics to your modern commercial space. These panels have replaced the use of tiles, wallpaper and other cladding. 

Simple and hassle-free cleaning

PVC panels do not require daily maintenance or cleaning. The panels have a smooth surface that does not attract impurities or microorganisms. They are hassle-free to maintain and there are no heavy expenses involved in the maintenance process. Wipe the vinyl panels with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Do not use any abrasive agents or bleaches. Wash the panels when needed because they won’t seep in the moisture or humidity. PVC panels keep your commercial interior hygienic by not attracting impurities, keeping away stains, and controlling odor. 

White color vinyl panels

Duramax panels are available in only a white shade that does not get yellowish with time. The white color has elegance and a sense of spaciousness. FRP panels are available in many shades, but they fade away over time. PVC panels are light-reflective as they can equally distribute the reflected light. You can save on your energy bills every month. 

No OSB and backers

Discard the use of FRP panels and get rid of delamination and peeling issues. PVC panel is an affordable alternative to FRP Panels. Duramax panels eliminate the use of backers and OSB boards. The panels require half the material and labor cost. This gives you a competitive edge. The panels can vary in length by 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 feet. 

There is no hassle in the installation process

Vinyl walls do not involve an expensive or tedious installation. There is no extra investment in labor costs or materials. Once installed, the panels can remain as good as new for the next 45- 50 years. The shelf life of PVC panels is for about 45-50 years and some panels can last for even 100 years. The panels are attached directly to the studs with hidden fasteners. The panels can be reused several times. There are tongues and grooves present that make the installation process quicker and easier. The panels do not have backers, so they do not seep in moisture. A covering of PVC panels helps to keep the walls and ceiling dry, and free from moisture. The installation procedure could take about 7-8 hours by a single contractor. Hiring more than one contractor can be unnecessary as it would speed up the process which is not needed. The panels can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally. 

 

Duramax PVC panels – a lifetime investment

Duramax vinyl panels are across multiple commercial sectors, including commercial kitchens, restaurants, riding stables, hospitals, shipping containers, marinas, warehouses, grow rooms, car washes, etc. Vinyl panels are a gift of technology as it offers plenty of advantages compared to FRP panels. Duramax can customize panels based on your requirements and budget. The cost of PVC water-resistant wall panels is less on the higher side compared to FRP Panels. Do not be swayed by the initial low cost of FRP Panels. Eventually, you will end up spending more money on frequent repairs. FRP Panels tend to warp, peel off or delaminate if humidity affects them. PVC panels cost a little higher but they are a single-time investment. It is better to invest a little higher amount for one time rather than frequently spending on less sturdy solutions.
