The restaurant needs to look inviting, and at the same time, optimal cleanliness is mandatory. Colorful FRP wall panels might look great, but sadly they are not 100% water-resistant. If you are looking for high-grade restaurant wall panels that offer 100% water resistance and look aesthetically appealing, consider white and bright PVC products from Duramax. The PVC wall panels last longer than FRP and offer innumerable benefits that make them ideal for commercial eateries. Here are some striking differences between FRP and PVC wall panels that will help you make an informed decision about vinyl products.
Water resistivity makes vinyl sheets a huge favorite
The high-grade PVC restaurant wall panels made from 100% virgin vinyl are waterproof and durable. The vinyl sheets have a non-porous exterior surface that sheds off excess moisture. The vinyl panels don’t have crevices or fissures, ensuring that no moisture, debris, dirt, or bacteria is trapped inside. The waterproof PVC panels keep the restaurant and the commercial kitchen clean, damp-free, and hygienic. However, such isn’t the case when installing FRP wall materials. The OSB backers of FRP panels attract moisture, and the rivet joints have crevices that trap moisture, bacteria, and waste matter, leading to contamination. Rather than investing unwisely in FRP wall panels, install the PVC products from Duramax for 100% water resistance.
White and bright PVC panels are aesthetically pleasing and low maintenance
Although the colorful FRP wall panels might look great, the white PVC material can deliver an unmatched elegance and sophistication. The white PVC panels do not stain or fade. What’s better is that the PVC panels do not turn yellowish or get discolored. On the other hand, FRP wall panels fade and start to stain very easily. The FRP panels need professional cleaning, repainting, and maintenance to ensure longevity and maintain aesthetic appeal. While FRP maintenance requires professional assistance, the vinyl panels need minimal upkeep. The vinyl wall materials are cleanable with a damp mop and soap. You can use mild bleaching agents to keep the vinyl sheets looking pristine and white. Customized vinyl panels can instantly change the entire look of the commercial restaurant.
Affordable PVC wall panel installation
The 4'x8' PVC wall material costs around $83.58, and the installation charges might increase the overall expenditure to $88.58. It takes only $5 to install the PVC wall panels from Duramax. The PVC panels require no additional materials or skilled workers for the installation. A novice laborer can install the vinyl panels in less than 7 hours, charging you hardly $5. On the other hand, the FRP panel will cost $70, but the installation charges are double the initial investment. You need to purchase a $40 OSB backer board and $6 adhesives and invest $5.50 on panel trimming for the FRP installation. In addition, it is necessary to hire two skilled laborers to install FRP, which might cost you $20. The FRP installation costs 40% more in material costs and 50% extra in labor than PVC.
Final Words
Why invest a fortune in FRP panels when PVC wall materials are more affordable, sustainable, and last much longer? The PVC panels last 50 years without callbacks, while FRP serves only 25 years, after which the wall material needs to be replaced. Get high-grade PVC panels in 2 weeks at factory costs.
