Basements refer to spaces that are located beneath the ground, and this is what makes water seepage a possibility. The moment water starts seeping through the basement walls, it becomes a threat to basement walls, both in terms of structural integrity and aesthetics. Other possible factors that can result in basement wall decay are water pipe and duct leakage, leading to moisture infiltration. Basement condensation is even worse. It happens when the humid and warm air comes in contact with the cold basement floor and walls, resulting in more humidity.
PVC basement wall panels from Duramax are a perfect option for wet residential and commercial interiors. So, how do we damp-proof the basements?
The Importance of Keeping Basements Damp and Wet-Proof
Basements are highly functional spaces, and keeping them dry and properly maintained is important. Most USA-based basements are connected to the other half of the property through ductwork or openings. Most people turn to basements to transform them into storerooms, bedrooms, or even living spaces. Moisture-laden basements aren’t only unhealthy, but getting rid of the dampness is of primal importance to make the place liveable.
Vinyl-Made Plastic Basement Walls Last Longer than FRP, Saving you Inconvenience.
One of the major inconveniences and reasons behind stress for most basement owners is the frequent maintenance required. They spend hundreds of dollars fixing damp, broken, discolored, and unsafe basement walls after exposure to high-moisture levels, condensation, and water pipe leakage. Installing vinyl wall panels can be a perfect solution, given that they can last 100 years without callbacks. They won’t bend, warp, crack, split, fracture, or give in to quick delamination, despite staying wet for a prolonged period. Even with low-maintenance, the mold-free vinyl panels can live for 100 years compared to FRP, which lasts only 25-30 years.
Plastic Panels Meet FDA-Compliances and are Safe for Basements
For a basement wall cladding material to be deemed fit for usage, it must have high-withstanding powers against moisture, water, heat, and humidity. Duramax’s USA-manufactured plastic panels are ASTM and CFIA-certified, besides meeting FDA compliances. Furthermore, unlike FRP, they don’t release harmful toxins even when they crack or get damaged. The moisture-resistant panels are excellent options for wet and humid interiors like basements since they don’t allow moisture or water to settle on their surface. Moisture’s inability to reside on the walls discourages mold and mildew formation, which proves immensely beneficial for basement interiors.
The goods, tools, equipment, machinery, and other items stored inside basements no longer have to face the risk of undergoing any moisture-related damage. Their original condition is retained at no extra cost.
Painting Basement Walls, Drywall, and Plywood aren’t Good Options; PVC Panel is What You Need
Damp basement interiors are stubborn are refuse to make way for a cleaner and sanitized environment. Installing plywood, drywall, or even painting the walls wouldn’t suffice. The paint will either fade away. The plywood might give into bending and warping, and drywall might get damaged owing to the moisture content. PVC Duramax basement vinyl wall panels are designed to withstand high moisture content, condensation, and humidity while maintaining structural integrity.
Commercial Basement PVC Panels Keep Interiors Safe Even on Low-Maintenance
The easiest and most economical option for keeping your basement safe is through plastic wall cladding material. They protect your basement walls from falling prey to moisture attack and turning yellow. But despite working as a highly-versatile panel, they don’t need you to undergo any rigorous maintenance schedule to keep them clean and dirt-free. Instead, wipe them out occasionally using a damp cloth or a high-pressured hose cleaning tool to complete the cleaning task and retain their original sheen for several years. Also, unlike FRP, it doesn’t need chemically-formulated agents, which further threatens the wall’s health, leading it to decay, degrade and delaminate.
Renovate Basements with Easy-to-Install PVC Panels and Forget About Extra Costs
One of the most attractive features of PVC wall cladding material is that they don’t need much hassle and time to get installed. Basement owners aren’t required to look around for professional laborers to fix the panels; even an unskilled technician can do it without any trouble. However, with an experienced mechanic, the job is completed within 7-8 hours, implying there’s no requirement for business downtime. In addition, the interlocking tongue and groove system make basement installation easier and quicker. But with FRP basement panels, there isn’t only a requirement for more than two laborers but also extra materials. Overall, installing PVC saves you 40% on labor and 50% on material costs.
High-Strength Vinyl Panels Display Mind-Blowing Impact and Abuse Resistant
Basements are busy places where people come and go constantly. Because of the constant movement of the goods and items stored there, basement walls are vulnerable to scratches, dents, and damage. Protecting the walls and keeping them trouble-free for several years is a possibility with highly-durable PVC panels. The panels are highly-resistant to all kinds of impacts and abuses, standing strong in all tough situations.
