What is PVC cladding?

PVC wall cladding became mainstream in the 1970s as an alternative interior wall solution. PVC cladding is a lightweight panel with a smooth surface with a decorative surface and a tongue-and-groove edge for easy assembly. Modern PVC now offers a myriad of design variations to the look, feel and finish.

Benefits of PVC cladding

One of the main reasons PVC cladding is so popular for bathroom refurbishments is its water-resistant quality. Wall cladding is also mould resistant, unlike traditional wall tiles, so it can be used anywhere around your home!

Another compelling benefit compared to tiles is that PVC cladding is a lot more cost-effective compared to tiles, both for material costs and labour to install the panels.

PVC cladding is also low maintenance being quick to clean and having no cracks, bumps, or pores for the dirt to get into. They will look as good in years to come as they do when they are first installed.

PVC cladding is simple and quick to install and unlike tiles which are labour intensive and require a skilled tiler, are a very user-friendly product. The panels are easily cut to size and simple to install, making it the ideal DIY solution. Compared to tiles, they take approximately half the time to install.

In addition, PVC cladding is hygienic with its mould and bacteria repellent properties as well as being safe as they are non-flammable, self-extinguishable products. Lastly, PVC is 100% recyclable and can be taken to any plastic recycling centre.

PVC cladding panels also provide great thermal insulation, they offer an insulating value of R 2.25 (0,16 watt/m°K), which is pretty impressive. Their insulation value is comparable to that of a normal house brick.

If you have rough, uneven or patchy wall surfaces you can easily install PVC cladding panels to a prebuilt frame. If you have smooth and even walls, then you simply glue the panels to the plaster or plasterboard, or even apply directly on to existing tiles.

Do PVC wall cladding panels need special cleaning products?

You can simply use your everyday household cleaning products, as long as they are nonabrasive and are not based on chloride. You can even bring wall cladding back to its original condition by polishing the panels using a soft, non-abrasive cleaning agent. But for everyday cleaning, you only need a damp cloth to clean the panels thoroughly.

Some of the benefits of PVC products:

Strong and lightweight – PVC products are resistant, lightweight, with good mechanical strength and toughness. These are the key technical benefits and the reason for its popularity in building and construction applications.

Easy to install – PVC can be easily cut, shaped, welded and joined on-site, in a variety of styles. PVC’s lightness and ease of handling reduces the difficulty of manual cutting.

Durable – PVC is very resistant to weathering, rotting and corrosion, shock and abrasion. It is, therefore, the preferred choice for many different outdoor products where long life spans are expected. In fact, medium and long-term applications account for some 85 per cent of PVC production in the building and construction sector.

For example, it is estimated that more than 75 per cent of PVC pipes will have a lifetime in excess of 40 years with potential in-service lives of up to 100 years. In other applications such as window profiles and cable insulation, studies indicate that over 60 per cent of them will also have working lives of over 40 years.

Cost-effective – PVC has been a popular material for construction applications for decades due to its physical and technical properties which provide excellent cost-performance advantages. As a material it is very competitive in terms of price, this value is also enhanced by the properties such as its durability, lifespan and low maintenance.

Safe material – PVC is non-toxic. It is a safe material and a socially valuable resource that has been used for more than half a century. It meets all international standards for safety and health for both the products and applications for which it is used.

Fire-resistant – Like all other organic materials used in buildings, including other plastics, wood, textiles etc., PVC products will burn when exposed to a fire. PVC products, however, are self-extinguishing. So in other words, if the ignition source is withdrawn they will stop burning. Because of its high chlorine content, PVC products have great fire safety characteristics. In practical terms, this means that they are difficult to ignite, heat production is comparatively low and they tend to char rather than generate flaming droplets.
