FRP Catalog Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile must be cleaned more frequently than FRP and dirt, mildew, and staining in the grout lines are often problems.

Tile can crack or shatter and are difficult to replace.

Ceramic tile is usually twice the cost of frp.

 


FRP Catalog Drywall

Drywall is difficult to clean and needs to be repainted quite often. It also has a relatively low impact strength compared to frp.

Drywall has poor resistance to water and moisture and is therefore susceptible to mold and mildew.





FRP Catalog Epoxy Paint

Epoxy paint involves a labor intensive installation process. After installation it has high maintenance requirements.

Epoxy paint is not impact or abrasion resistant and it is easily affected by moisture and chemicals.

 



FRP Catalog Stainless Steel

Stainless steel dents easily upon impact. Its surface also shows any abrasion marks.

It is susceptible to corrosion in certain environments and normally costs at least twice as much as FRP.

 



FRP Catalog Concrete Block

Concrete block is porous and must therefore be sealed or painted often.

It is difficult to clean and not USDA compliant.

 

 


FRP Catalog Vinyl Wall Coverings

Vinyl wall coverings are expensive and difficult to install. They are not impact or abrasion resistant and tend to show imperfections below the surface.
