Reasons to choose Duramax PVC panels over vinyl-covered drywall

The market offers several paneling materials, and the most common ones have long been vinyl drywall and FRP panels. But these options come with huge maintenance headaches, repairs, and replacement costs. Duramax PVC panels have now gained popularity for their spellbinding durability and longevity. Made from 100% virgin vinyl, Duramax PVC is helping people save money. Unlike vinyl-covered drywall, these panels are never known to damp, rot, or peel.

Let’s learn about the drawbacks of vinyl-covered drywall and why it is a smart decision to choose Duramax PVC wall panels.

Vinyl Drywall

Why give up on vinyl drywall?

Choosing vinyl drywall as the paneling for walls and ceilings in commercial or residential buildings is a decision that will be regretted very soon. The porous, moisture-absorbing surface of vinyl-covered drywall leads to damp patches and rot. The ideal alternatives are the moisture-resistant, durable Duramax PVC panels. These have been proven to be ideal replacements that meet all requirements.

When exposed to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and occasional leaks, vinyl-covered drywall and FRP panels begin to show their weaknesses.

a. Moisture-absorption and mold growth

Since the porous surface of vinyl drywall absorbs moisture from the air or the ground, the dampness can lead to mold patches, musty smells, and structural weakening.

b. Crumbling and sagging problems

Damp vinyl drywall loses rigidity. The panels start crumbling , sagging, and even cracking under their own weight. Paint starts to flake, and sagging patches spread across the ceiling within two seasons.

c. High maintenance and frequent repairs

Vinyl-covered drywall is prone to damage from accidental impacts, vibrations, and daily activities. Repairs become common when panels develop chips, cracks, dents, or punctures.

d. Poor fire and chemical resistance capability

Vinyl drywall fails to withstand chemical exposure and offers little to no fire resistance in a fluctuating environment. These panels present loopholes in safety standards.

e. Low long-term value

Although installing vinyl drywall might seem cost-effective initially yet the expenses increase later. Significant expenses are incurred in frequent replacements and constant maintenance.
