FRP panels have been in wide commercial use since the 1960’s. A frp wall panel provides a long term, durable, sanitary finish that meets the rugged performance needed in applications such as food processing, healthcare, cold storage, and many other areas. The primary advantage of a frp panel is the long term resolution of these performance needs. When companies need to look for a solution to older FRP panels, which may need to be replaced due to deterioration in the finished look. Some companies have introduced lower cost, non-reinforced thermoplastic panels and are marketing these panels as a performance alternative to fiberglass reinforced plastic panels. These non-reinforced thermoplastic panels are marketed to building professionals as “non-reinforced plastic’ panels, and along with low costs, are promoted as “environmentally friendly.”
Here are the facts…
The facts show that non-reinforced thermoplastic panels don’t offer much beyond a low initial cost. However, with demonstrated performance differences, the replacement and maintenance costs for non-reinforced products are likely to far outweigh even this low cost advantage.
