If you are feeling the need to extend your living space to the abandoned garage area, that’s a very thoughtful approach. Our garages have great potential, especially in modern urban houses where every square foot matters. But the real challenge lies in getting the space ready by eliminating the risk of dampness and mold growth. One tried and tested method is installing garage PVC wall panels on the interior. The non-porous and waterproof surface of these panels helps create a hygienic and dry environment. Plus, the practicality of these panels ensures that they are cost-effective, and when you shop from Duramax, you get an impressive deal. 

Learn more about how PVC panels are a cost-effective option:

PVC panels are ideal for garages functionally and financially

The most common challenge in a garage is unchecked moisture exposure that leads to damp patches, mold growth, and a stinky environment. Wall paneling emerges as the go-to choice to protect the walls and ceilings from moisture damage. Traditional panels like drywall and FRP are unreliable as they absorb moisture, leading to dampness and mold formation. PVC garage wall panels, however, are exceptional as they are inherently moisture-resistant. Further, they do not need wooden backer boards like FRP panels, which absorb moisture and rot. This helps in reducing the maintenance and repair costs effectively. Here’s why you should opt for Duramax garage PVC panels for affordability:

Installation is cost-effective

Duramax panels are lightweight, which means a single person can effortlessly handle the installation. Plus, these panels have a tongue-and-groove interlocking design, making the installation fast and easy. PVC panels are ½” thick and directly attach to the walls and ceilings with the help of studs and fasteners. Hence, they save up to 40% on material and 50% on labor costs, compared to FRP panels. 

Low maintenance and repairs

PVC panels are extremely durable and sturdy, which makes them impact-resistant. These panels can endure strong impacts from vehicles and other sources without cracking or peeling off. As PVC panels do not deteriorate over the years, they also reduce the need for repairs and replacements. They require minimal maintenance, saving on the overhead expenses. Thus, with PVC paneling, you can also save on the upkeep and repair expenses significantly. 

Ease of cleaning

PVC panels are easy to clean and sanitize with minimal effort. There is no need for special equipment or cleaning agents. A normal wipe down using a damp cloth and mild detergent is all it takes to maintain a clean and hygienic space. Plus, you can also opt for pressure cleaning with a standard garden hose. This convenience of cleaning significantly reduces the time, expenses, and resources required, making for a cost-effective solution.

Longevity translates into cost-saving

While FRP panels and drywall last within a couple of years, PVC panels last impressively. They have an inner webbed truss design, ensuring their sturdiness and durability. Duramax garage wall coverings withstand the different challenges without compromising their structural integrity. This further translates into a lifetime of performance as Duramax panels have a shelf life of 100 years. We back our panels with a limited lifetime warranty.

Hygiene and safety certification

Duramax ensures the panels adhere to the quality, hygiene, and safety standards. These panels are ASTM certified after rigorous quality testing. They are also CFIA and FDA compliant, ensuring a hygienic environment. Further, they are Class-1 fire-resistant and non-inflammable in nature. So, they can withstand an hour of fire and flame without damaging or releasing toxic gases. Hence, installing PVC garage panels can help you meet the required certification without bearing fines and other approval expenses. 

Ways in which PVC panels revamp garage spaces

When it comes to including your garage in your living area, the appearance makes all the difference. Conventional panels have prominent joints that are aesthetically unappealing. Plus, these joints harbor and thrive with mold and mildew, making the space unhygienic and difficult to clean. On the contrary, PVC panels feature a smooth and seamless finish with their interlocking design. This ensures that the panels offer a professional and sleek appearance that looks impressive. 

The smooth surface of PVC panels is known for its reflective qualities. It evenly distributes light, enhancing the overall brightness of the space with minimal lighting outputs. This helps to keep the energy consumption in check and reduce the expenses. 

Plus, the ready-to-install PVC panels do not need additional preparations like painting or plastering. They are ½” thick, 16” wide, and customizable in length, saving on the extra expenses. Hence, you can get a new and revamped space in a matter of a few hours.
