Understanding the advantages of plastic building materials is essential in the current environment. The economic and ecological advantages of recycling make plastic material an excellent choice for use in many types of wall construction. Plastic wall coverings are durable and flexible while being easy to install. Furthermore, the material is energy-efficient and offers virtually limitless color combinations. Below we look at the advantages of using PLAS-TEX® panels for your building project.
What is PLAS-TEX®?
PLAS-TEX® is a building material made from recyclable plastics such as polyethylene, polyolefin, and polypropylenes. These are plastics commonly found in plastic shopping bags, plastic bottles, food packaging, and many other everyday household products.
Parkland Plastics™ proprietary process of converting post-industrial scrap into USDA-compliant PLAS-TEX® from 100% recycled resins is revolutionary. Through this process, they produce wall panels that are attractive, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly.
Benefits of PLAS-TEX®
Easy to Install
Unlike Fiberglass, PLAS-TEX® wall panels can be installed without demanding special equipment, making it far less dangerous for the installer or inhabitants of the building.
Parkland’s PLAS-TEX® is also available in current industry sizing. These panels require minimal cutting to ensure a perfect fit. They are easy to score using a straight edge and utility knife, and then can simply be snapped at the cut mark. This reduces cost as you do not need a specialized installer. However, workers should wear proper gloves to avoid injury. Finally, these sheets eliminate sanding, mess, and downtime at your construction site.
Durable
PLAS-TEX® wall coverings resist damage from collisions with carts, kicks, rolling beds, mops, and other equipment, making them almost indestructible. Once in place, the material will remain looking new for longer than standard wall coverings. The durability of PLAS-TEX® makes it the ideal long-term solution for practically all applications, from housing to commercial builds.
Water-Resistant
Parkland Plastics™’ PLAS-TEX® is waterproof. This makes it ideal for paneling bathrooms, showers, and other areas where moisture is prevalent. This also saves you time and money as you no longer need to coat the wall coverings to make them water-resistant.
By outfitting damp and wet spaces with PLAS-TEX® from the start, you remove the worry, cost, and extra work from repairing or replacing wall panels later on.
