Why washable wall panels are a must for meat packaging units?

The meat packaging facilities need waterproof and washable wall panels to maintain optimal cleanliness and hygiene. The PVC ceiling panels are better than FRP because they are more durable, stronger, and ensure complete hygiene under all circumstances. The FRP suppliers might offer low-cost wall materials, but they are not the ideal choice considering fiberglass has plenty of drawbacks. Instead, shift from FRP to high-quality vinyl panels manufactured by Duramax. The PVC wall panels are a one-time buy and last for at least 50 years without callbacks. Here are some of the real reasons why PVC panels are much preferred in meat packaging units rather than FRP.

100% waterproof PVC panels are better than FRP

The PVC ceiling panels made from 100% virgin vinyl are water resistant, strong, and durable. The PVC panels have no backers; unlike FRP, the non-porous surface sheds off excess moisture. The PVC panels have no crevices to harbor bacteria, and the moisture does not get trapped in between. The vinyl panels are 100% waterproof, and the anti-mold coated surface ensures optimal hygiene. The PVC panels are resistant to mold, microbes, bacteria, mildew, and moisture.

On the other hand, FRP suppliers won’t disclose that the OSB backers absorb water and damage the wallboard in the long run. The FRP panels can never promise 100% water resistance and are highly vulnerable to mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. The humid meat packaging facilities do better with ½-inch PVC panels than the thin FRP wallboard that requires OSB backers as a structural base.

PVC needs minimal upkeep

The PVC washable wall panels need minimal maintenance. The vinyl panels are stain-free with a smooth surface that does not fade or get discolored. The PVC panels never turn yellowish, rot, or rust. The white PVC panels retain their color with occasional cleanups. Wiping the panels with a mop and soap or washing with a pressure washer is ideal for upkeep. The PVC panels never need repainting or repairing post-installation, which makes them low maintenance. On the other hand, FRP wall panels are highly vulnerable to repair callbacks as the fragile FRP material peels off, delaminates, gets discolored, and fails to do the job properly. The FRP panels need professional care to ensure durability and good performance, making the wall material an expensive choice for the long haul.

Seamless PVC installation is more durable than estimated

Did you know PVC panel installation with hidden fasteners and studs is seamless, strong, and durable? The PVC panel needs no backer board or glue for the installation, making the wallboard impact resistant and aesthetically pleasing. You also save 40% on material costs and 50% on labor expenses by installing the DIY PVC panels rather than the laborious FRP wall material. The FRP wall panels require additional resources and expert laborers for the installation. The FRP panel installation is laborious, slow, and challenging. Even after the perfect installation, the FRP panels are prone to repair callbacks, whereas PVC lasts for 50 years without any issues or restoration call-ups.
