A commercial kennel space needs to meet strict hygiene and safety protocols to keep the pets healthy and disease-free. But the constant vulnerability to unchecked moisture exposure poses the risk of dampness and mold formation. Plus, since a commercial kennel houses many dogs as part of their day boarding option, the risk of contamination from biological waste is increased. PVC wall covering for dog kennels  emerges as a tried and tested solution to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. 

Here’s all about the features of PVC panels that make them a reliable choice for your kennel spaces:

Moisture-resistant surface 

Kennels usually have humid conditions from water bowls, cleaning zones, and from the ooze, slime, and waste of the dogs. Hence, the risk of damp patches and other moisture-related issues is a common issue. PVC dog kennel walls feature a non-porous and seamless surface. These panels do not absorb moisture from the environment, eliminating the chances of dampness in kennel interiors. Made from 100% virgin vinyl, PVC panels are inherently moisture-resistant, protecting the structural integrity of the space. 

Antimold in nature

PVC panels interlock for a seamless finish, which is effective in preventing mold and mildew from harboring and thriving in the joints. Plus, they also have an antibacterial coating that eliminates the chances of bacterial and microbial infestation in the kennel interiors. This is particularly helpful in ensuring a healthy air quality and hygienic walls and ceilings for the pets. Inhaling molds can lead to respiratory problems in both humans and pets. 

Meets hygiene standards

PVC kennel wall panels meet the stringent hygiene requirements and are CFIA and FDA compliant. This helps in maintaining the ideal sanitary conditions in a kennel space. Plus, installing FDA-compliant PVC panels in kennels helps pass inspections and avoid unnecessary fines and legal troubles. Further, Duramax PVC panels are also ASTM certified after rigorous quality tests, making them a reliable solution in terms of quality.

Ensures fire safety

Duramax PVC panels are Class-1 fire-resistant and are non-inflammable. These panels can withstand an hour of fire and flame without deteriorating or releasing toxic gases. This allows a safe exit for the animals and the workers during unforeseen fire incidents. Further, since these panels do not have wooden backers that can fuel a fire and cause severe damage. 

Durable and long-lasting

Duramax kennel panels are known for their exceptional durability and impressive shelf life. These panels have a unique inner webbed truss design that ensures sturdiness and durability. They do not rot, mold, crack, or peel off over the years and are impact-resistant. Plus, these panels can withstand the scratches and bites from the moody dogs without signs of deterioration. Duramax panels have a shelf life of 100 years, backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making them a one-time investment for commercial kennel structures. 

Cleaning is easy

If you are a kennel owner, you would understand the hassle of cleaning and sanitization that goes into a commercial kennel. You can, however, reduce the resources, energy, and expenses used by switching to PVC panels. The smooth and seamless surface of these panels is easy to clean with minimal effort. You need not worry about rigorous scrubbing or cleaning, as a normal wipe-down using a damp cloth and mild detergent is enough. The ease of cleaning also reduces the risk of spreading contagious diseases among the pets in the kennels. 

Minimal upkeep and repair

The sturdy and impact-resistant PVC panels remain unaffected by the everyday challenges in a kennel. Hence, they are low-maintenance and do not require frequent repairs and replacements, saving on the overhead expenses. As a result, there is minimal to no disruption to the regular operational hours for upkeep requirements. 

Installation is hassle-free

Whether you are designing a new kennel or renovating an old one, installing PVC panels can escalate the process. They are lightweight with a tongue and groove interlocking design, making the installation fast and simple. Further, being ½” thick, these panels come with built-in backers and directly attach to the walls and ceilings with studs and fasteners. Thus, these panels save up to 40% on material and 50% on labor expenses, compared to traditional solutions like FRP. 

How do PVC panels enhance the kennel environment? 

When you install PVC dog kennel panels, you can expect a hygienic and clean environment for your pets. They prevent dampness and mold growth with their waterproof and easy-to-clean surface. Plus, the smooth finish of PVC panels evenly reflects light, enhancing the brightness with minimal lighting outputs. This way, you can reduce the energy consumption in kennels. 

The antibacterial coating of PVC panels makes them a practical choice for isolation rooms in kennels. This helps in preventing diseases from spreading and making the entire kennel contagious. Thus, by using PVC panels, you can establish trustworthiness among your customers and ensure a safe and hygienic space for the pets. 

Finally, these panels have the necessary certifications for quality, hygiene, and safety. So, you can never go wrong with Duramax PVC panels for your kennel spaces and can pass the inspection now and for years to come.
