Shipping containers are constantly exposed to a variety of elements, as well as the effects of seawater surges and changing weather conditions. You can layer shipping container wall panels over the corrugated steel body. If you already have the very less effective FRP wall panel installed, it is time to replace those with vinyl container wall panels.

Condensation inside the shipping containers

Shipping containers have undergone extensive development and modernization. Condensation occurs when air reaches the “dew point.” While the air inside the space turns out to be warm, the steel trailer’s walls cool down. As a result, as the atmosphere moves from a vapor state to a liquid state, its water content decreases. The liquid builds up to cover the container’s metal body. Moisture seeps into the cargo over time, causing it to become damaged.

Water-resistant panels

Duramax panels are 100% moisture-resistant. The panels have no chance of trapping moisture on its surface. A covering of shipping container wall panels keeps the walls and ceiling protected.  The vinyl panels are also layered with a coating anti-bacterial layering that prevents the accumulation of mold and mildew.

The role of ventilation and dehumidifiers

Adequate ventilation prevents condensation by balancing the container’s interior and exterior temperatures. Another viable option is dehumidification. The warm air is taken out by ventilation, which draws in air of the same temperature. This is done to reduce the amount of stickiness inside the steel trailer. Use dehumidifiers if you have been utilizing the container for a considerable amount of time.      

PVC panels that are waterproof

Most of the walls of shipping containers are made of drywall or FRP wall panel, which is prone to condensation. Install shipping container wall panels to safeguard the ceiling and walls from moisture damage. The panels are completely water-resistant, preventing the ceiling and walls from being permanently damaged by excess moisture. The vinyl panels are coated in an antibacterial layer to stop mildew and mold from growing on the ceiling and walls. PVC container wall panels’ waterproofing capability is one of their most important features. Vinyl boards are ideal for use in any interior of a building or home that is subject to humidity.

Pretty simple installation

Duramax PVC panels are easy to install and affordable. There are no additional costs for materials or labor. There are hidden latches that secure the PVC sheets to the studs. Also there is no reason to be concerned about moisture entering the shipping container through the wall panels. Thanks to the absence of backers, the interlocking patterns of their tongues and grooves make the installation easier. A single local expert can install the panels inside a shipping container.

Simple and straightforward maintenance

Your shipping container does not necessitate expensive maintenance. The PVC panels’ smooth surface repels dirt and other impurities. Although it is not necessary to clean the vinyl sheets every day, it is beneficial to do so from time to time. Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Wash the surface of the panels without worrying about moisture getting into the walls or ceiling.

PVC panels in white color

Duramax shipping container ceiling panels are made of poly vinyl chloride. The white panels don’t get yellow or change color over time. In this regard, vinyl panels are distinctive. Paint made for PVC surface can be used to color the boards if you want vibrant panels. Since the color will soon fade, try not to introduce FRP wall panels if bright boards appeal to you.

Durable PVC panels

The panels are resistant to impact and abuse. The vinyl panels come in a variety of lengths, have a width of 16 inches and a thickness of 1/2 inch. Due to their durability, the PVC panels resist damage and misuse. The panels also prevent chemical stains, odor, and spills. The vinyl sheets are climate-friendly, non-toxic, and reusable several times. The lightweight ceiling sheets made of PVC can be moved without having to pay a lot for transportation.
