Waterproofing for wall and ceiling panels is a must. But vinyl-covered drywall lacks any water-resistance. Such materials are more susceptible to water damage than PVC panels. Even with a waterproof primer, the vinyl drywall cannot be waterproofed. So, the only water-resistant material that prevents damp formation in home and business interiors is PVC panels. The PVC wall and ceiling panels are affordable and suitable for commercial and business spaces.

Vinyl Dry Wall – Not A Feasible Paneling Choice

Whether you are deciding on paneling for a garage, a basement, or other high-humidity areas, being careful about moisture is compulsory. Walls and ceilings can be damaged quickly when condensation forms inside, and the soft drywall material cannot withstand the moisture. These materials are prone to cracking, crumbling, and swelling when exposed to moisture for long hours. Hence, the PVC panels have emerged as the right paneling choice, standing the test of time and lasting a long time.


PVC Panels are 100% Water-Resistant

PVC panels, made from premium-grade, 100% virgin vinyl, are moisture-resistant. Their construction and antibacterial outer layer prevent mold, mildew, and microbial growth, keeping walls and ceilings dry and damage-free.


Installing PVC Panels is Simple

Compared to heavy vinyl-covered drywall, PVC panels are lightweight and can be installed quickly. While vinyl drywall installation is difficult, expensive, and inflexible, PVC panel installation is cost-effective and can be completed in 7–8 hours by a single experienced contractor. The PVC wall covers are attached to the studs using a clasp. The installation process is simplified with the interlocking tongues and grooves. Before installation, the PVC boards are cut to the correct dimensions.

PVC Wall Panels Retain Functionality with Simple Maintenance and Cleaning

Since moisture damages vinyl drywall, water cannot be used for cleaning. The same goes for the FRP panels, which are not waterproof. PVC sheets have a smooth, wrinkle-free surface. No chance for soil or contaminants settling on the panel surface. A soft, moist cloth and a mild cleaner can clean the PVC wall and ceiling panels. No need for using bleach, abrasives, or dyes. PVC panel surface can be washed as often as needed since it doesn’t attract moisture or dampness.


PVC Panels can be Customized

Standard lengths are 8, 10, 12, and 16 feet, but can be adjusted as needed. Weighing 8 pounds, they are lightweight, durable, and robust. Duramax PVC panels are available in black, gray, or white.
