Im building a new grow room and moving away from tents, the room will be approx. 8x10 and i was thinking of using FRP panels but have concerns with the UV in the lights degrading them. does anybody have any long term experience using these with both HID and LED lights? the goal is to have a sealed room with a mini-split and CO2 injection that can be as pest proof as possible, would painting several coats of exterior paint suffice or too many nooks and cracks for bug eggs etc? trying to have it be cleanable with bleach in the event of an infestation thanks for any input

I would honestly just line the room walls with Panda Film. It is durable, cheap and easy to work with and clean while also providing over 90% reflective properties. For the seams, you can get the white reflective Orca Tape which is very sticky and durable and over 90% reflective as well.
I believe this will be the easiest, most cost effective way to line your room

Look up trusscore panels, I’ve heard some other guys are using these.

just do mold resistant drywall since your humidity will be around 65 for vpd in veg with flat white paint its likely the most cost effective all these panel systems will likely cost more money i havent looked at the manufacturers stuff but it may still require you to drywall behind the panels regardless. on a side note i was at the hardware store a couple months back they now make a flat white paint that doesnt scuff has the same durability as a semi gloss which is perfect for a grow room and reflectivity.

Trusscore is about 2.25-2.50/ sqft in Ontario. Being thinking of this in the future. Love that powerwashable finish.
I was actually looking at HDPE sheets and PVC sheets.
