Profiled PVC liner panels for industrial and agricultural interior cladding and lining applications

Produced by Palram for more than 50 years, AG-TUF profiled PVC liner panels are used to clad the interiors of agricultural and light industrial structures around the world. From piggeries and dairy sheds to poultry farms and fertilizer storage facilities, our panels hold up in places where other products don’t.
In addition to AG-TUF for interior cladding, DURASHIELD is available for outdoor applications and corrosive environments. Resistant to harsh chemicals, our panels can be frequently cleaned to facilitate maximum sanitary maintenance without premature wear and tear.
AG-TUF panels are easy to install using ordinary tools. They can be used to line the interior of your structure to make it instantly become brighter, easier-to-maintain, and provide an attractive glossy appearance for years. AG-TUF profiled PVC liner panels are one of many Palram products for these market segments.

WHY AVOID METAL SHEETS IN CHEMICALLY AGGRESSIVE AND CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS?

Agricultural environments such as barns, pigpens, hen houses, dairies, and stables can present multiple challenges for any interior lining or cladding material. Gases such as ammonia and hydrogen are common in livestock feeding or housing environments, and they are the source of quick and widespread rust and corrosion for metal. This corrosion results in high maintenance and replacement costs. AG-TUF sheets offer a corrosion-free and chemical-resistant alternative that provides farmers with years of low cost, low maintenance and greater hygiene.

Industrial environments such as mining and chemical processing plants create dust and ash that, when combined with mist, rain, and perhaps even saltwater, coat the roofing with a layer of sentiment that is highly corrosive to metals. But not in the case of AG-TUF. These corrugated PVC lining boards are virtually maintenance free and endure a wide variety of gases and chemicals for the lifespan of the panel—and under the harshest conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pre-drill fastener holes in roofing with corrugated panels?
+ -

Pre-drilling the holes ensures that the panels have room to expand and contract properly with temperature changes. Skipping this step can lead to distorted, warped or cracked panels.

Is PALRUF resistant to UV radiation?
+ -

Yes, PALRUF corrugated PVC is resistant to UV.

Can corrugated sheets be curved?
+ -

Yes. Corrugated sheets can be cold-curved to create arched shapes. It's important to follow the relevant Palram specifications for minimum radius in cold-curving, which can be found in the Installation Instructions of the relevant sheets. In addition, corrugated sheets should be arched so that the corrugations themselves are curved lengthwise.

How do I design the secondary steel support spacings for roofing/siding?
+ -

Palram created specific loading tables for each product. Please visit our website and download the specific catalog.

Can I install corrugated PVC and polycarbonate sheets horizontally for siding?
+ -

Yes. Make sure you start installing from the bottom up so the overlaps will not let the water in.

What are the common applications of corrugated PVC sheets?
+ -

The common applications of corrugated PVC sheets are buildings that require opaque coverings and/or are located in highly-corrosive environments such as chemical plants, coastlines, cowsheds, and dairies.

When should I use PVC corrugated sheets versus polycarbonate corrugated sheets?
+ -

PVC corrugated sheets are mainly used for opaque roofing and siding of industrial buildings in highly-corrosive environments such as port warehouses, cowsheds, and dairies. Polycarbonate corrugated sheets are mainly used as roofing or siding where natural daylight illumination is needed.

Do Palram's animal covering and cladding solutions have thermal insulation properties?
+ -
