Marinas are located very close to the waters because they are usually built on harbors. Facilities that are present near the seas or oceans require extra care in the form of maintenance. Marinas offer various facilities like restaurants, sports space, medical aid, and a place for pleasure and relaxation. Investing in a marina is lucrative, but the maintenance cost is a little higher. Dampness and humidity are the two common reasons the interior and exterior can damage. 

Protect the interior from humidity

There are many ways to protect the space from humidity issues. The interior should be well-ventilated and insulated. Bare walls and ceilings are very much prone to damage due to exposure. Cover the surface with waterproof marine wall panels. Non-water-resistant coverings like plywood, drywall, mylar or FRP sheets are unsuitable for such spaces with excess humidity. We do not suggest installing tiles or using oil paints. Marinas are enclosed spaces where air settles to inform of condensation. Therefore, the interior is prone to get infested by mold and mildew. A moldy interior can affect the condition of the boat and cause health issues in humans. 

Light-reflective panel

Marina wall panels are available in white color but they do not become dirty or yellowish with time. White panels offer a spacious and pristine look to the interior. We manufacture white vinyl boards and we manufacture grey panels upon only receiving bulk orders. You can paint the panels using PVC-grade paint. The vinyl sheets are light-reflective so you can lower your energy bills. You can install fewer LED lights to light up the space. 

Are there leaks in the marina?

Make sure you are sealing the leaks on time to prevent water ingress. You might try to dry the marina but traces of moisture would remain. Ventilation is extremely important to let out warm air and humidity. Overheating can be a big problem that can be controlled by using electric dehumidifiers. The chemical ones contain calcium chloride that soaks humidity and prevents it from settling on the walls and ceiling. Repair the leaks and install vinyl basement wall panels. 

Simple and hassle-free installation

Installing marine wall panels would not require keeping the marina shut down for many days. The installation takes about 7 to 8 hours so it can be completed the same day. The process is simple and there are no complexities involved. The process does not require hiring extra labor or purchasing additional materials. One contractor can install the panels in a few hours. These sheets have no backers so there is zero possibility of moisture leaking into the walls or ceiling. The vinyl boards are attached to the studs with the help of invisible screws and fasteners. The vinyl sheets can be reused because the panels can be used and reused. 

Long-lasting vinyl sheets

PVC marine wall panels can last even a century but have a minimum shelf-life of 45 to 50 years. FRP panels are not long-lasting at all. They peel off, delaminate and crack within a few years. The FRP boards require frequent repairs which is a recurring expenditure. Vinyl panels once installed, do not require extra investment. 

Low maintenance panels

Basement waterproofing panels require low maintenance because they need not be cleaned daily. These vinyl sheets have a smooth surface that does not allow dirt or bacteria to settle on the surface. You can wash the surface without worrying about moisture penetration. The surface of the vinyl boards can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a soft cleaning agent. Do not use bleaches, abrasives, acids, or harsh cleaning agents. The cleaning process does not involve extra costs.
