Why does Duramax PVC water-resistant paneling provide better results than FRP boards?

Protecting interiors from excessive moisture and its damaging effects requires a robust paneling strategy. FRP wallboards are not recommended, as they absorb moisture and are susceptible to damage. For reduced maintenance, choose Duramax PVC water-resistant paneling, which resists moisture and mold.

To keep the FRP walls functioning, a separate budget is required to cover the cost of expensive repairs and replacements. But Duramax PVC water-resistant wall panels are the reliable alternatives to FRP panels, suitable for wet and humid spaces.

Where do FRP panels fail at performance?

Humid conditions will definitely lead to dampness and mold formation over time, which the porous surface of FRP panels cannot resist. Since these are supported by wooden backer boards, the panels rot easily when moisture seeps in, and the boards absorb it right away. Damp patches form, and FRP panels begin to rot. The crevices in the FRP panels promote mold and mildew to breed comfortably. Hence, these FRP panels are big turn-offs for facilities in humid conditions.

How are Duramax PVC moisture-resistant panels proven alternatives to FRP panels?

Inherently, Duramax PVC water-resistant wall panels feature a non-porous and seamless surface. So, the surface does not absorb water while preventing dampness and mold buildup. These water-resistant wall boards feature an antibacterial coating that protects the surface from microbial growth and contamination. Despite exposure to excessive moisture, these water-resistant wall panels remain unaffected and last a lifetime with minimal upkeep.

Duramax PVC moisture-resistant wall panels are cost-effective, durable alternatives to FRP panels

Made from 100% virgin vinyl, Duramax PVC moisture-resistant wall panels are extremely durable and sturdy for walls and ceilings. These ½-inch-thick, 16-inch-wide panels are ASTM-certified and CFIA- and FDA-compliant after rigorous quality testing. Their unique inner webbed truss design enables them to endure attic insulation loads without damage. These impact-resistant panels never rot, mold, crack, or peel over the years. After installation, minimal repairs or replacements will be required.

a. Appreciative longevity

The impressive 100-year shelf life makes them a one-time investment that lasts a lifetime, with minimal upkeep and repair needs. Duramax PVC water-resistant paneling is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, qualifying it as the reliable choice for commercial and residential projects. Their longevity incurs minimal replacements while saving on expenses.

b. Quick and effortless installation process

The lightweight Duramax PVC water-resistant wall panels interlock using a tongue-and-groove mechanism, where each panel edge fits into the adjoining panel's groove to create a secure joint. These panels attach directly to existing surfaces with studs and fasteners. The fast, simple installation process helps save 40% on materials and 50% on labor costs.

c. Hassle-free cleaning

Duramax PVC water-resistant wall panels are stain-resistant, so no rigorous scrubbing is needed. Their smooth, seamless surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, or pressure-washed with a garden hose. Since mold and mildew do not build up, cleaning is easier and only needed when necessary.

d. Meets hygiene and safety requirements

Duramax PVC water-resistant wall boards adhere to strict hygiene and safety requirements. These ASTM-certified, CFIA-, and FDA-compliant panels are Class 1 fire-resistant. They endure an hour of fire and flame without damage or release of toxic gases. This property helps maintain a safe and hygienic environment.
