Fiber reinforced plastic was once used for wall paneling but gradually with changing technology, vinyl panels were invented and FRP took a backseat. When FRP panels were considered ideal, it did not have any competitor but now vinyl has so many reasons to be on the top. Vinyl panels are very popular for commercial use and are preferred by those where moisture is the main cause of worry like grow rooms, dairy rooms, restaurants, food processing units, agriculture, showers, fisheries etc.

Vinyl panels are being widely used in modern farming, in the agricultural sector. In this blog we shall discuss how Kevin and his brother used PVC panels for their indoor set up. They are two brothers who are very successful in indoor farming and have always believed in implementing modern methods so far. We were amazed by their passion and they shared a lot about the procedures they implement in indoor farming. Talking about outdoor farming, there is a time when the soil is not very fertile and there is shortage of water as well. During such crises, hydroponic agriculture is a popular method that they prefer using. This is a process that replaces the old and traditional farming techniques. So, seeing many others the brothers got passionate about starting their own indoor hydroponics set up. They shared with us that when it comes to indoor farming, the weather conditions and environmental conditions stay under control.

Hydroponics farming is increasing everyday and it’s expected to rise even more with every passing year. This kind of farming initiated in the Middle East and now it’s very popular in the US. It’s a successful proven farming technique.

The brothers were very satisfied with Duramax vinyl panels because it has excellent moisture resistant capability. Hydroponics farming demands wall panels that are resistant to water and moisture. In this process of growing crops, soil is not as essential as water is. There are high chances that the indoor environment would be filled with moisture, the walls and the ceiling would absorb moisture as well. This is why vinyl panels are the ideal choice. The panels are water-resistant, anti-mold and anti-bacterial. On the other hand, FRP wall panels have a tendency to absorb water through the backers and this causes mold formation between the walls and backers. Kevin and Tom strictly suggest using vinyl wall panels because it’s chemical-resistant. Farming involves use of various types of ingredients and nutrients for the crops but your walls won’t get affected.

 PVC panels have the longest lifespan when compared to FRP panels and all other wall paneling solutions. It’s also very easy and affordable to install vinyl panels. Compared to FRP wall panels, vinyl installation is less hassle. PVC installation does not require backers, adhesives, lamination, rivets etc. Only one professional can do the complete PVC installation in least time. Once installed unlike FRP panels, PVC does not show signs of peeling off and delaminating. They also discovered that the panels are very easy to clean; the surface is smooth so no bacteria can hide underneath its surface.
