FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Wall Panels

Sup. Is anyone familiar with or had any hands on exposure to FRP WALL PANELS? I picked up two 4x8 sheets of the stuff to throw together a place to clone in, maybe hold a mama. The color is straight up white.One side is very smooth and one side has a hammered kind of thing going on. It's waterproof and washable so I'm going to use it on the floor of a new space. At $25.00 a sheet I'm hoping it doesn't have any drawbacks. Maybe it's a good reflector IDK. I do know it's easier to wrangle than 3/4 plywood. I'm also liking the fact it's very flexible AND you can cut it with a pair of tin snips. is anyone familiar with the stuff?

I made a tunnel for chronographing paintballs before with it. Never took a direct beating, but a year in the sun and it starts to crack if stressed. So did the pvc frame to be fair. I have also used it as a aesthetic cover when replacing an attic hatch. Just glued to a piece of plywood, simple. Years later still looks the same. I think I also donated a piece to a friend as a temp backdrop for his terrarium, didn't know reptiles surfed.

The bumpy side is kind of glossy. Jigsaw rips right through it. Does not like some paints.

The smooth side is mold resistant while the rough side will breed mold faster than a mother fucker if laid flat in a moist environment .

It's what is used in bathrooms in commercial buildings and gas stations etc.. you need to glue it to a decent substrate (plywood, sheet rock ) it has that shiny finish like a bathroom shower tile. IF it molds it'll come off easy, nothing really sticks to it. The corner pieces are easy, if u need to join one in the middle GET A HELPER or your ass will get thoroughly kicked. Use it, good stuff

I install FRP in restaurant kitchens and in bathrooms
It's great stuff for a grow room. I am sure that it will work on the floor, ( I don't recommend it) but be cautious what you choice to lay it on. For example if your laying it on concrete be sure the floor is clean because if a small loose piece of concrete stays under it ,the material will Crack if you walk on it.
The smooth side is glued unto drywall. And the rough side is designed to be easy cleaning and resistant to water and very durable on a wall. If I ever built a room for raising my girls I would definitely use it on the walls and even ceiling.. Would make cleaning between grows a breeze. And reflects light well. You can screw thru it to mount things on the wall . I use a circular to cut sheets and you can easily use a hole saw on it to runs plumbing etc.
Basically you could treat it like drywall that is wipe able and painted white.
I don't recommend painting the stuff..
But great great stuff

Well it's on the floor so we will see. I cut it with tin snips and used a belt sander where I needed to remove a little material. I didn't glue it to the floor I drilled little pilot holes and used one inch galvy roofing nails. I went rough side out as that's how I see it on kitchen walls. The stuff cleans up very well now that I think of the walk-in refrigerators that I've cleaned. I like it and I'm thinking on putting together another 4x4x4 free standing box. Same price as plywood and I'll just stud it out at 24 inched with 2x3 studs. Cheap, light and functional.
