Maybe the panels are peeling. Perhaps it just needs some replacement because FRP is hard to clean and there are persistent stains. Alternatively, the FRP board attracted mold and it has spread through the walls.

Replacing Your FRP Panels With PVC
Some important reasons why you need to choose PVC wall panels as your replacement for FRP panels are the installation, maintenance, and cleaning.
· Vinyl Panels Can Be Installed Easily
When it comes to vinyl panels, they require just one person to do the job. FRP panels are a little challenging to install because they need more materials such as backers and adhesives So, you might have to use two people for the installation and pay for the extra material. Such issues don’t apply to vinyl panels. These panels are thicker and eliminate the need for backers. Plus, there are tongues and grooves in vinyl panels that interlock each panel side by side to speed up installation. So, you don’t have to worry about trim between every panel, adhesive, fasteners, or rivets. That means huge savings on labor!
· No Peeling Off After Some Time
If you have FRP panels in your walls, then you would probably notice that they start to peel off after some time of use. This is an unavoidable and expensive part of FRP panels. Due to the addition of adhesives to keep them attached to the walls, FRP panels might peel off when the adhesives lose their effect. Well, this is something that you don’t have to worry about in case of vinyl panels. They are always attached to the studs and don’t peel off with time. FRP panels are more susceptible to callbacks which is an issue you don’t have to worry about when you have vinyl panels.
· No Mold Or Bacteria Problems
One of the main things about vinyl panels is that they are completely resistant to moisture. So, you will not have to worry about mold growth. FRP panels, on the other hand, might have mold growth on them after some time. This is because FRP panels are spaced apart, leaving a gap for water vapor to penetrate. Also, the smooth surface of vinyl panels and zero crevices mean that bacteria will not be able to form in these panels. The flat surface of PVC panels also makes it very easy to clean.
So, when it comes to the replacement of FRP panels, choose the vinyl panels to solve all your problems. Vinyl panels reach FDA requirements for durability and have a 1-hour fire grade as well. You can easily buy a PVC panel from Duramax, check out our website or call 323-831-3979!
