The initial cost of PVC panels may be higher than their traditional counterparts, but they are cost-effective in the long run. FRP boards are expensive in terms of installation and maintenance. They need additional backer boards, adhesives, and face-mounted rivets for installation. The complicated process requires more than one person to install the panels. Further, they are high maintenance and need frequent repair or replacement. PVC panels, on the other hand, are extremely durable and low maintenance. They save around 40% on material and 50% on labor costs during installation. Visit the Duramax website now!
