Contractors have been switching over to Vinyl Panels from FRP. As technology progresses, experienced contractors adapt to become effective at installing large projects. Contractors skillfully match the requirements of the project and the attributes of a different material. The three main reasons contractors are switching to vinyl are its material attributes, fewer callbacks, and efficient installation process.

Moreover, with the practicality of use that Vinyl brings to the table and the unmatched durability, they are certainly an ideal option for the industry right now. They are versatile and are able to endure varying temperature and humidity levels in commercial interiors. In addition to the worthy features, these panels also add an aesthetic dimension to the look and feel of the interiors. They are also available in different colors, textures and are customizable, which means more liberty in designing your space. While contractors are besotted with these panels’ ease of installation and affordability, their clients remain impressed with the final results.

Vinyl Panels: Why a better choice than FRP?

In environments with high humidity, it has become increasingly common for vinyl panel walling to be used due to its long-term water resistance. FRP panels also have long-term water resistance but rely on wooden backers, which are vulnerable to water vapor. Over the years, FRP panels have been susceptible to water vapor being absorbed into the wooden backing. This leads to deformities in the wood, delamination of the sheets, and unappealing mold formation.

Vinyl wall panels are pure vinyl and do not rely on any backer for installation. Once installed, no other maintenance or support is necessary. Fewer chances of installation problems mean fewer chances of callbacks for the contractors. These callbacks can be costly and time-wasting. Walls that rely on multiple materials, such as wooden backers, adhesives, or fasteners, mean higher risk and costlier callbacks through time and material.

Drawbacks of installing FRP panels

FRP paneling is a two-person job working with multiple materials, such as applying adhesive before meticulously applying the sheet and fasteners. Any mistakes with adhesive or placement can mean redoing the whole section. Conversely, Vinyl has lightweight characteristics and can be worked on with one person or 2 for double the speed. Being attached directly to the studs, Vinyl is the lowest maintenance material that has the longest lifespan.
