Are you using the basement for growing cannabis or other medicinal herbs? Growing cannabis indoors requires a climate-controlled and healthy environment. 70% humidity is considered favorable for the growth of the plants. But no amount of dampness is good for the walls and ceiling. Painting the walls using oil paint or installing tiles is not a long-term solution. Damaged walls and ceiling cause equal damage to the grow room crops by affecting the interior with bacteria and mold. There are many things you need to consider if you want to transform your basement or old garage into a grow room.

Moisture-proofing is the most important factor

Why do you choose a basement as a grow room? Basements are moist and cooler than the upper floors. This is very helpful for the growth of the plants mainly because the heat emitted from the grow room lights can be easily controlled. Moisture can wear away the walls and ceiling, sometimes even beyond repair. This is why you should install a waterproof wall and ceiling covering. Most of the materials available in the market are not waterproof. After ample research and due to technological advancements, vinyl wall panels came into the market. PVC panels ensure that the basement walls and ceiling are untouched by humidity.

Water-resistant PVC panels

Duramax PVC panels are 100% waterproof. The vinyl boards do not absorb any amount of moisture. This protects the walls and ceiling from getting continuously wet. The panels are coated with an antibacterial coating that prevents the accumulation of mold and mildew on the surface of the panels. The panels are non-porous, so there is no fear that moisture would leak into the surface of the walls through gaps. Apart from installing panels inside the basement, you need to ensure adequate ventilation and timely dehumidification. Remember, you are taking care of the interiors as well as the health of the plants.

Hassle-free installation

PVC panel installation on basement walls can be done using an easy method. The entire process is completed within just a day. There is no additional labor or goods required for the installation. The basement wall panels are fixed to the studs with the help of latches. Because the panels are screwed to the wall’s surface, there is no need to install backers. This stops moisture from getting into the ceiling and walls. To facilitate installation, the vinyl panels have interlocking grooves and tongues. Also, the interlocks prevent moisture from entering the surface of the panels. Hire a local contractor who is an expert in installing PVC panels.

Environment-friendly PVC panels

Duramax panels are non-toxic and recyclable. They are 1/2 inch thick, 16 inches wide, and you can change the length to fit your needs. The vinyl boards are lightweight so shipping them is neither a problem nor costly. The basement wall panels are non-permeable and eco-friendly. They can be recycled without leaving much waste behind. The vinyl panels can be reused contrasted with the FRP boards. The PVC sheets can get through effects and misuses. Vinyl sheets are impervious to stains and pungent scents. The basement wall panels have a 1-hour Class A fire grade.  The boards contain no harmful components.

The basement or grow room should be kept clean to ensure healthy growth of the medicinal plants. Because the hygiene factor influences growth, this is an important criterion. When the plants are inside the grow room, the space should be free from mold, mildew and other microorganisms. Basement wall panels make cleaning easier. PVC panels have a smooth surface that does not draw dirt or impurities. The panels have endurance but we suggest not to use harsh agents like acids or bleaches. Simple occasional cleaning with a damp cloth keeps the panels well maintained. You might need to wash the panels
