 If you need to install an interior wall panel system to protect the walls, you will get numerous options. It’s up to you which one to choose based on the usage and your budget. There are panels in the market that are made up of different materials, such as metal, plastic, tile, or wood. Don’t choose anyone randomly, get the best one for you because it is supposed to protect the original walls where a certain type of work is done, which causes damage to the walls. You must choose accordingly.

For instance, plastic panels are ideal for the walls where a lot of water is used for long hours to accomplish a specific type of work. Since plastic is waterproof, nothing can be a better option than it for the walls that are exposed to moisture.

FRP wall board in the USA or fiber-reinforced panel is traditionally used before the vinyl panels become popular despite several drawbacks. In this article, we will see the major differences between FRP panels and PVC panels in the USA.

FRP has been in use since the ancient days as common walling systems. But it loses water resistivity due to the wooden backer board it needs for support. FRP cannot stand properly without the support of a backer. This backer is usually made from wood, which absorbs moisture. Over time, the panels come out from the board in many places, and there are damages on the walls too. By absorbing water, the backer makes the area messy and wet. It becomes an ideal place for the growth of germs that may cause diseases. Due to this, proper hygiene is not maintained there. Moreover, you need to replace the panel and repair the wall, which is a matter of big investment.

On the other hand, vinyl is fully water-resistant, and it does not require any backing board that actually makes the area wet and untidy. So, it is easy to keep the area clean and dry. Vinyl is called a lifetime solution because it goes on for 25 years or more.   

PVC is a cheaper solution too. If you decide to install plastic panels, there is no need to buy backer and glue to attach the board with the backer. This will save you a lot. The installation becomes easy and quick too. One labor is enough to do the job, which means you will save on labor charge too.

Along with water, PVC is also mold and chemical resistant that keeps the area hygienic. It is a great choice to install vinyl boards in food processing plants, commercial kitchen, dairy, medicine production unit, fruit warehouses.
