Choosing the right grow room wall panels is essential as over 40% of the total yield comes from the edge. Initially, grow room FRP panels got the preference and recommendation, but then gradually, the demand for these panels started going downhill. As a result, grow room entrepreneurs have started investing in PVC panels for the walls and ceilings. Duramax wall panel suppliers get you high-quality and durable vinyl panels that can last for years with minimal upkeep. However, there are a few valid reasons why we should let go of FRP wall panels and invest in PVC instead.

FRP panels – Difficult and time-consuming installation

The FRP panels are not easy to install. You need to buy the panels and also purchase additional materials like wooden backers, adhesives, and mounted rivets for the installation. The grow room FRP panels take two days to install with the help of two skilled labor. The entire installation process is quite challenging. You need to keep the commercial room closed for two days to complete the installation.

On the contrary, PVC panels take only 7 to 8 hours to complete the installation without any additional materials or labor. Although PVC panels might cost slightly higher, the complete DIY kit is enough for the hassle-free installation. Even a novice can install PVC panels with the help of the user-friendly installation guide coming along with the DIY kit. PVC installation is a one-person job, but you can speed up the process by hiring two or more people.

FRP – Difficult to clean

FRP panels have a rough surface and are prone to staining. In addition, the panels have wooden backers that make the cleaning difficult. The FRP grow room wall panels are not resistant to impacts and get damaged easily. That’s why you need to take great care of maintaining the FRP wall panels. However, switching to PVC panels is going to make maintenance easier. PVC panels are easy to clean as they are resistant to chemicals. Made with 100% virgin vinyl, cleaning the Duramax panels with bleaching agents or a damp mop is completely hassle-free. The vinyl panels are smooth and stain-resistant. Regularly wiping the panels with a cloth and detergent is enough for maintaining the white, bright, and pristine appeal.

FRP – Susceptible to callbacks

FRP panels need repeated repairs, maintenance, and refinishing. The FRP panels are susceptible to callbacks, making them extremely expensive in the long run. FRP wallboard starts to mold, rot, absorb moisture, delaminate and peel off after a few years. At that time, you would need to get the panels replaced. However, investing in PVC is a more cost-effective move. PVC panels are a one-time investment and last for 45 years or more. PVC is not vulnerable to water vapor and never rots, molds, or absorbs water. Duramax wall panel suppliers offer PVC panels that are FDA-compliant and safe for commercial grow rooms.
