FRP panels and drywall are gradually losing popularity due to their high maintenance and frequent repair needs. As a result, modern spaces are opting for solutions that offer better resistance and last longer. If you are planning to replace that rotten wall paneling and are looking for something better and more long-lasting, Duramax wall and ceiling panels are the ones for you. Duramax brings PVC panels that are made from 100% virgin vinyl and are ASTM-certified, making them the ideal solution for replacing traditional solutions.
Reasons behind the popularity of PVC panels over traditional panels
Over the last few years, PVC wall and ceiling panels have significantly replaced traditional paneling choices in commercial and residential spaces. From being durable and long-lasting to ensuring moisture and mold resistance, PVC panels have stood up to the hype. Have a look at the ways these panels are better than their traditional counterparts.
PVC panels last 4x times longer than FRP panels
Duramax PVC panels are ½” thick and have a unique inner webbed truss design. This design element makes the panels exceptionally durable. They are exceptionally sturdy and can withstand attic insulation loads remarkably. Plus, they have an impressive shelf life of 100 years, which is 4x longer than traditional FRP panels. A limited lifetime warranty from Duramax further backs this shelf life.
Do not damp, rot, or mold in humid conditions
Both FRP and drywall are prone to damage from excessive moisture exposure. These panels absorb moisture, leading to dampness and rotting over the years. PVC panels, however, feature a non-porous surface and are inherently moisture-resistant. They remain unaffected in humid conditions and do not rot or dampen over the years. Further, their seamless finish also eliminates the risk of mold and mildew buildup on the surface.
Meets the hygiene and safety standards required for commercial spaces
Duramax PVC panels adhere to the hygiene and safety standards, making them the ideal choice for vulnerable spaces like food processing, dairy units, restaurant kitchens, etc. These panels are CFIA and FDA compliant. They also have an antibacterial coating that prevents bacterial and microbial infestation to keep contamination at bay. In addition, these panels are Class-1 fire-resistant, which means they can withstand an hour of fire and flame without damage or toxic gas release.
Tongue and groove interlocking makes the installation fast and simple
While most traditional paneling solutions are complicated and time-consuming to install, PVC ceiling panels are easy to install. They feature a lightweight, interlocking design that speeds installation. The panels use the tongue and groove mechanism for a seamless finish and come with built-in backers that allow for direct installation. The panels can be fixed to any existing surface with studs and fasteners. This saves around 40% on material and 50% opn labor expenses, compared to FRP installation.
Maintenance and cleaning are hassle-free with minimal efforts
The durability of the PVC panels makes them impact-resistant, and they do not dent, crack, or peel under daily wear and tear. As a result, they require minimal maintenance and repairs. So, compared to traditional paneling solutions, PVC panels save significantly on upkeep. Plus, cleaning and sanitizing are easy. A normal wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent helps keep the panels clean and sanitized.
