Polycarbonate & PVC Trims

WHY IS 3/8” BETTER THAN 1/2”?

In the PVC paneling industry, thicker is not always better. The interior walls and the space between the front and back wall of the panel are the weaker parts of the overall design. If you stretch the interior wall, you will effectively decrease the overall impact strength of your panel. Therefore, a 3/8” panel is much stronger and longer lasting than a 1/2” panel.

WHY IS THE MAXIMUM WIDTH 16”?

If you have weight or tension on the panel (insulation or an angled fastener), it creates pressure between both ends and eventually the panel starts to bow or sag. In the PVC paneling industry, it is proven that 16” is the best and maximum width to use. METEX PVC Liner Panels are easily able to withstand these pressures and will not bow or sag.
