The most popular options for wall panels incorporate PVC panels and FRP wall panels. Over the years, FRP panels' prominence has faded because of several constraints like complicated installation. Contrarily, vinyl wall panels have become a reliable option for both commercial and residential places due to their effective features. This blog will guide you in choosing the most ideal wall panel by discussing FRP vs PVC.

Reasons why you should keep FRP wall panels at bay
Creates health concerns
According to research, inhaling FRP fibers generates irritation in the upper respiratory tract, leading to serious health issues. FRP wall panel is also responsible for creating itchiness and dryness on the skin and eyes. This indicates the replacement of FRP panels in both industrial and residential facilities to ensure a healthy environment.
Exhibits low longevity
Interpanel trims in FRP panels are susceptible to moisture vapor penetration that bends, cracks, and delaminates the wall panels in a few years. This indicates recurring maintenance and repair to keep the wall panels working properly. These processes are not feasible as maintenance and repair of FRP panels need a high investment.
Expensive installation process
Installing FRP wall panels requires wooden backers, adhesive, and face-mounted rivets that skyrocket the overall installation process. Those wooden backers are moisture-absorban,t which causes damp patches on wall panels. This eventually promotes mold and mildew growth, creating an unhygienic environment.
PVC wall panels are the potential alternative
Mold and moisture-resistant
Manufactured from 100% virgin vinyl, Duramax’s PVC panels are moisture-resistant. Unlike FRP wall panels, vinyl panels avoid rotting and damp patches which eliminates mold growth on walls. The smooth and seamless surface further reduces the chances of mold accumulation on PVC wall panels. The seamless surface helps you clean the vinyl wall panel only by using a damp cloth.
FDA-compliant for maintaining hygiene practices
PVC wall panels are FDA- and CFIA-compliant by adhering to hygiene standards in different places. With antimicrobial coating, Duramax’s PVC panels eliminate the possibility of microbial and bacterial growth. Also, vinyl panels do not release any toxic gases. This maintains a clean environment, eradicating the chances of respiratory tract infections and other illnesses for animals and human beings.
High longevity than FRP panels
With a shelf life of 100 years, PVC panels last longer than FRP panels. The wall panels are class 1 fire-resistant and mold-resistant, which reduces the need for any further maintenance and repair. This suggests a one-time investment for installing PVC wall panels.
Easy and low-cost installation process
PVC panels screw directly to the studs with no backer needed. This reduces its installation cost compared to a FRP wall panel. The tongue and groove interlocking system cut the installation time of PVC wall panels in half. FRP has double the material costs and labor requirements in installation. Duramnax’s vinyl wall panels show 50% labor saving and 40% less material costs during installation.
