In recent years, the appearance of virgin PVC panels in construction projects has become more and more popular thanks to possessing many outstanding advantages such as low cost, and fast construction time. However, on current market, there are many types of panels with different prices, accompanied by different product quality and origin, which can cause confusion for consumers.
Having implemented many large-scale construction projects, architect Nguyen Quoc Thao – Director of Bestone Architecture Company shared: “When approaching this new material, we pay great attention to the quality of panels because the issue of construction warranty in construction is very difficult and costly. Therefore, we especially choose a panel with a core from high-quality virgin PVC and clear origin such as that of hÔm Plasgo brand to not have to worry about maintenance problems for constructions."
SR58 virgin PVC is used as the main raw material to produce hÔm’s PVC panel. This is a resin produced by the fractional distillation of petroleum with high purity. Possessing the characteristics of high flexibility, great elasticity, resistance to pressure and high waterproofing, raw PVC is often used to manufacture high-value items or products that require safety such as medical equipment, aircraft components, automobiles…
Using a high-quality core helps virgin PVC reach an elasticity level of up to 13.5 MPa and flexing capability of up to 360. This feature makes it easy for construction workers to perform difficult techniques such as when cladding square angles, rounded corners, curved arches… hÔm virgin PVC panel is also certified to have zero water penetration, completely adapt to our country's humid climate. In addition to the core of the panel, the film layer uses also high heat pressing technology and silver nanocoating technology with fireproof capacity, making the surface more burnished with color standard and reality with wooden and stone grain up to 99%.
Through the rigorous quality test of the Vietnam Institute For Building Materials – Ministry of Construction, the panel did not change in color and shape when soaked in 10% HCl acid solution over 24 hours. hÔm plasgo virgin plastic panel was certified by the Vietnam Institute for Building Materials – Ministry of Construction and met series of criteria in building material safety in March 2021.
With highly appreciated quality in the plastic materials market, hÔm virgin plastic panel has a lifespan of up to 40 years, contributing to environmental protection, reduces wood and stone exploitation, and the consumption of poor-quality plastic. We own a 3ha factory in the Southern Industrial Zone in Yen Bai province with a capacity of 60,000m2 panels/month, hÔm ensures the supply of goods for the domestic market and carry out the purpose of export development in the future.
The leading experts also warn that consumer should not consider the cost in terms of interior panels because it can cause many potential risks for your family. Currently, cheap panels on the market range from 100.000 – 200.000 VND/m2. These panels are often thin, the plastic core turns opaque yellow due to the use of low-quality PVC. Besides, unclear film layer’s color, uncertified origin, no registration certificate and quality verification are also disadvantages that consumers should consider.
These panels when exposed in home space can cause damage problems such as shrinkage and peeling after a short time of use. When encountering the typical humid weather of our country, poor-quality plastic layer is easily absorbed by water causing mold and warping. The film layer will immediately be peeled off when exposed to moisture for a long time, which makes homeowners waste money and effort on dismantling and replacing. Therefore, to ensure the project safety and durability, it is extremely necessary for consumers to carefully find out product specifications and features instead of just considering the price when choosing PVC panels.
