You can make good use of the basement if there is no dampness there. Basement is synonymous to humidity and moisture so you need to waterproof the walls and ceiling adequately. Most basements have issues like water seepage which continues to give rise to mold growth and mildew. Repairs can be more expensive than installing a cladding material. It is mainly because a repair is not a permanent solution. Most basement issues can be solved by installing basement waterproofing panels. There are different companies that manufacture wall panels in the USA. Do online research to find out a reputed company that has years of experience in installing commercial and residential wall panels.

Why is there dampness in the basement?

Basements are located below the ground level so they are prone to moisture seepage and accumulation. There are some other issues like:

  Low-lying home

  House located near a waterbody that is prone to flooding

  Shifted home due to which there are cracks in foundation and basement walls.

  Poor quality window

  Broken pump

  Inadequate exterior drainage and grading

  Blocked drainage.

All of these could result in swelling and discoloration of the drywall. There can be a musty smell inside which is a result of mold growth. A basement specialist can help you detect the problem and suggest a solution.

There is a difference between water-resisting and 100% waterproofing. Removing the existing drywall or FRP panel and installing a new one will not solve the issue in the long-term. There are waterproofing products available that are injected into the foundation cracks. Similar solutions do not have any guarantee so the next and crucial step is to have a lifetime solution. Plywood, drywall, mylar, tiles are not a long-lasting solution but we suggest installing basement wall panels.

Easy and inexpensive installation process

Duramax basement wall panels are easy to install as the procedure would require one contractor working for only 7 to 8 hours. The panels are fixed to wall with studs and there are screws and fasteners that are not made visible. No extra materials are needed except for those that come along with the kits. The process does not require hiring extensive labor which again saves a lot of money. The installation is made quick with panels having tongues and grooves in interlocking pattern. The panels are cut precisely before they are installed. Once installed inside the basement, you get a 100% waterproof solution.

½ inch thick and 16-inch-wide PVC sheets

Duramax panels are available in white color but you will be amazed to know that the white panels do not attract dirt or impurities. The white color remains as it is without getting tarnished. We take only bulk orders for manufacturing grey panels. The boards are ½ inch in thickness. They have a width of 16 inches and the length can vary according to the demands of the customers. Duramax PVC boards are long-lasting, they have a shelf-life of 45 to 50 years. PVC boards can last for 100 years so it is called a lifetime solution to damp walls and ceiling.

Low maintenance guaranteed

Vinyl basement waterproofing panels require easy and simple maintenance. The panels do not require daily or complex maintenance. We recommend not using acids, abrasives, bleaches, or other harsh cleaning agents. Clean the basement walls occasionally using a moist cloth and a mild cleaning agent. The surface of the panel is so smooth that it does not allow impurities to settle on it.

A renowned manufacturer in the USA

Duramax PVC Panels is a renowned company that manufactures PVC panels in the USA. We have been catering to clients for more than 40 years. We manufacture panels for industries including warehouses, grow rooms, wet rooms, dairy farms, fisheries, restaurants, commercial kitchens, basements, shipping containers, hospitals, riding stables, poultry, and more. Duramax basement wall panels are 100% waterproof. They do not have backers so there is no scope for moisture to seep into the panels. The surface of the board is coated with an antibacterial layer so there is no mold or bacterial growth on them.

Certified panels that have higher resistivity

The panels are ASTM-certified, FDA-compliant and they have passed all inspections. The panels are non-porous, lightweight and can be recycled. They do not produce a lot of waste when recycled and do not contain toxic substances. The vinyl boards control odor helping to keep the basement hygienic. Most people who set up grow rooms in the basement prefer installing PVC sheets. They are resistant to chemical spills and sudden fire accidents as the panels have a Class A, 1-hour fire resistivity.  Our panels are light-reflective so you can save an amount from the monthly energy bill.

Which one is affordable – PVC or FRP?

Many of our clients like to discuss FRP panels before finalizing because they think that fiber reinforced panels are affordable. The pricing says so because each FRP panel costs $70 whereas PVC panels cost $83.58. There is little difference between the two but till now FRP looks cheaper. Now, we shall show the real difference in pricing. Installing FRP boards is an expensive affair so the total cost after installation comes to $141.50. Do you know the cost of installing PVC panels? It is only $5. After spending a huge amount on FRP panels, they will start warping, delaminating, and peeling off within a few years. Vinyl panel is the only solution for damp walls and ceiling, there is no alternative.
