3 Main PVC Wall System Brands

There are 3 main PVC Wall brands: Trusscore, Tuffcore & Duramax.  Each sells identical 16” wide by 8 foot long PVC Plastic nail-fin tongue-in-groove application where only 1 of 4 sides is screwed to the wall studs.  Here are their names, locations and estimated retail costs:

  1. Trusscore of Ontario, Canada. Home Depot sells an 8 pack of their white, 16” wide by 8 foot long Trusscore panels for $299.  That is $37.35 per 16” wide panel.  Since 3 of those make up a 4 x 8’, that would cost $112 for 4 x 8’ in wall coverage, with vertical seams every 16 inches. Under “Impact” on its “Cold Temperatures Pamphlet” on its website, Trusscore discloses that its PVC wall panels “may become more brittle in temps below 59 degrees Fahrenheit.”  This eliminates many Midwest states, as October through March, the average temperature is under 59 degrees.
  2. Duramax of Montebello, California. Duramax’ 8 pack costs $319. That is $40 per 16” wide panel, or $120 for 4 x 8’ in wall coverage, with 16” vertical seams.
  3. Tuffcorp of Ontario, Canada. Tuffcorp quotes a price-per-square-foot of $2.75 to $3.75 for its 16” wide x 8 foot tall PVC wall system.  At $2.75 per square foot, that would be $88 for a 4 x 8’ in coverage.  At $3.75 per square foot, that would be $120 for a 4 x 8’ in coverage, all with 16” vertical seams.
  4. EnduraFlood of Bridgewater, New Jersey. Unlike the above 4, which all offer 16” wide by 8 foot PVC Wall systems, EnduraFlood manufactures a lower PVC Wall system that is 48” wide by 21 to 33” in height, as shown in the photo below. This is approximately the height of a piece of chair rail moulding.   On their website, the cost varies depending on the style of Chair Rail style desired. They have over 12 different types, including the “Harrington,” the “Greenwood” and the “Halifax”.

 

PVC Wall Systems require customers to buy “Slatwall” to hang anything.

To hang anything on the Trusscore, Delpro or Duramax PVC Wall Systems, or non-branded 16” wide x 8 foot long, you are required to anticipate that need ahead of time and then you must purchase their optional “Slatwall” systems. In other words, you cannot just drill 2 holes in the PVC Wall Systems aforementioned on Page 2! NO! Home Depot sells a 7 pack of Trusscore Slatwall (Internet #321383220, Model #702002000) for $217.30. Trusscore Slatwall is 7 ¼” tall by 96” long. Therefore, Trusscore’s 7 pack is enough just for 50” inches tall by 96 inches long in coverage.

A Slatwall may look okay in the garage pictured below, but what about in a living room? Would your spouse be happy with bringing your garage storage into your home?
