Do you have the FRP wallboard peeling off? FRP panels might look great and are
extremely cheap at first, but they rot, peel off, delaminate, and absorb moisture with time. Switch
from the FRP wall panel and get the vinyl wallboard. Made from 100% virgin vinyl, the PVC
panels are water-resistant and anti-bacterial, ensuring optimal conditions inside the commercial
sector.
Author Bio: Rachel Simons was looking for PVC panels. She wanted to get rid of the FRP
wallboard. Unfortunately, her FRP panels started peeling off just after six months. Rachel
contacted Duramax and ordered custom-made vinyl panels for her brewery. The FRP wall
panels were taken down within two weeks, and she installed the high-quality PVC panels.
Rachel is extremely happy and delighted with the quality and professionalism.
There was a time when the FRP wall panel was the most recommended wall coverings.
The FRP panels were strong, rigid, looked great and provided good insulation. Then, why
should you switch from the FRP wallboard and get PVC panels installed? The reason is simple.
PVC panels are the better alternative. Wallcoverings do not always need to look good. They need
to be waterproof, hygienic, easy to install, and easy to maintain. Not to forget, wall panels should
be a cost-effective affair and not something that will slash out your profits. Here are some of the
reasons why you invest in PVC panels rather than the FRP wallboard.
Easy to install
PVC panels are comparatively much easier to install compared to the FRP wallboard. PVC
installation kits come with a DIY user-friendly guidebook making the process simple, hassle-
free, and convenient for novices. PVC installation takes only 7 hours and is a one-person job. On
the other hand, the FRP board needs additional materials with skilled labor for the complete
installation. It takes around two days to finish installing FRP panels. The investments required
in purchasing the additional materials and hiring skilled labor make the FRP panels much more
costly than the vinyl wallboard.
PVC is easier to maintain
PVC panels are the easiest to maintain. The panels made with 100% virgin vinyl are resistant to
most chemicals, making the cleaning process simpler. You can easily bleach the panels and bring
out a clean and pristine appearance. The panels also can be cleaned with a liquid detergent and
made to look neat in all circumstances. On the other hand, the FRP wall panel has a rough
surface and wooden backers, making the cleaning cumbersome and difficult. PVC panels have a
smooth texture, and wiping the panels with a single swipe is enough for their upkeep and
maintenance.
PVC is more resistant to fire
PVC panels have exceptional fire-resistant qualities. The panels have no wooden backers, and
therefore they don’t catch fire easily. The panels have a one-hour fire-grade resistance and can
prevent fire outbreaks in commercial spaces like dairy farms, garages, kitchens, restaurants, and
so on. However, FRP panels have wooden backers that make them more vulnerable to the flames
and might cause grave accidents in case of a fire outbreak.
PVC is more durable
Did you know that your FRP panels are prone to molding, delaminating and peeling off after a
few years? With time the FRP panels would need repairing and replacements. However, if you
install PVC panels, you can have a long-term wallboard that’s resistant to mold, microbes,
bacteria, water and can last for 45 to 50 years without any callbacks. PVC panels have the
longest lifespan compared to others, and this quality makes their demand spike up in the
commercial sector.
