Why Should You Choose FRP?
Every project has its specific needs, and your next project may benefit from more modern wall paneling solutions. Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a great option for anyone looking for cost-effective and durable wall protection.
The Miller Paneling team has been working in the wall paneling industry for over 30 years now and we work with brands such as John Muir Health, Kaiser Permanente, Apple, Chick-Fil-A, and even sporting facilities such as the new LA Rams SoFi Stadium.
What is FRP?
Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels are thin, flexible plastic panels constructed of strong polyester resin and reinforced with fiberglass. FRP is astonishingly resistant to rotting, staining, and mold. They are highly resistant to abuse, splintering or denting and they are common solutions for areas that typically have issues with bacteria and moisture. FRP is a hygienic solution for common trouble areas.
Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels outperform metal and wood walls, which can rust, and grow weak as they age. FRP also outperforms all paints and wallpapers which typically only look pristine for a short period of time and need additional long-term maintenance. FRP, on the other hand, is long-lasting with little to no risk of damage, wearing, and staining – it practically pays for itself over time. Not only are FRP panels durable and attractive, but they also save you time and money in the long run as repainting or repairing holes in drywall won’t be necessary.
FRP panels have the added benefit of being easy on your budget making it a suitable solution for businesses of all sizes.
Where should you use FRP?
Our Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels can be installed on almost any surface, from plywood to drywall and concrete. There are many businesses that can benefit from the use of FRP, including…
- Commercial Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- High-Traffic Areas
- Classrooms
- Offices
- Hospitals
- Gyms
- Grocery Stores
- Car Washes
- Food Processing Areas
Additional Information

Cleanroom Solutions for Every Need & Budget
Finding a cleanroom solution that meets the requirements of a project and stays within the budget can be very challenging. At Miller Paneling Specialties we take a consultative approach to help you resolve this dilemma. We work with some amazing products that are supplied by fantastic suppliers. Each one has specific properties that provide opportunities to help us design a solution that fits what you and the project owner need.
We have created four different categories to help ensure we find the best fit for your project. There are multiple options in each of these categories that you can choose from.
Good
We have three options in the first category. The AWS Lineage Pro is a PVC 2mm panel that has great features including coloring fast, printable surface, and different finishing options. This line has a lot of options to best fit that tight budget solution for rooms that need a clean look, but the hygienic property and sealing requirements are low.
Like the Lineage PRO, Altro’s Puragard is a 2mm PVC panel with similar features. This product is not as glossy as the Lineage Pro, but it has the same features and benefits. Again, this is a great low-cost solution to fit the specific needs of your cleanroom.
NUDO FRP has been around for a long time and is a trusted solution to the low-cost end of cleanroom solutions. This product has all the usual benefits trusted by customers for many years and is ideal for new or retrofit construction.
Here are the most popular application areas for these products:
- Commercial Areas
- Bathrooms
- Hallways
- Kitchen/Food Prep Areas
- Food Processing Plants
- Water Treatment Plants
Better
There are two options in the better category. Palram’s Duraclad interlocking wall and ceiling liner panels feature a multiwall structure that results in a high level of rigidity and strength and allows for rapid installation. These interlocking tongue & groove edges permit fasteners to be completely hidden, resulting in a clean, smooth finish.
The need for a clean environment is met with NUDO UtiLite. This product is made of easy-to-maintain interlocking wall and ceiling panels. The interlocking nature of the panels offers a near seamless appearance. These versatile panels can be installed quickly, both vertically or horizontally, directly to studs or to any substrate.
The ideal applications for these products are as follows:
- Grow Rooms
- Processing Plants
- Car Washes
- Greenhouses
- Cleanroom Applications
Best
There are three product lines that we would consider the “best” options. AWS Sempra is an 8.5mm product designed for strength, full hygienic features, and installation benefits all in one. Sempra offers a beautiful, bright clean hermetic finish that can be applied over existing infrastructure for rebuilds or directly to studs on new builds.
Another AWS Product, the Lineage Pro HYG line, is a step up from the regular Lineage PRO and has a 2.5mm panel that has the full hygienic properties on its face for a full hygienic wall solution. The panels are sealed with either a hot welded seam or a cold chemical bonded seam for a complete sealed room solution.
Again like Lineage PRO HYG, Altro Whiterock has all the features to hygienically seal a clean room for those areas where a complete seal is required. Whiterock has a solid name in the market in these solutions.
Here are some of the top applications for these products:
- Clean Room Systems
- Research/Pharmaceutical Facilities
- Food Processing
- Pharma Manufacturing
- Healthcare
Premium
Finally, we have three more options for anyone looking for the ultimate “forever product” that looks beautiful. Arcolpast offers the Acrolyl panel system that is carefree, easy to clean, and easy to maintain long term even when changes are made to a room. It can be completely and seamlessly repaired back to its original look making it the premium product for biocontainment, healthcare, and research facilities.
Adding strength to all the benefits of the Arcoplast panels is a second premium option, the Glass Fiber Reinforced MAT Core (GFRMC) product that has a fiberglass interior for impact strength. The reparability is the same and is the best forever type product on the market.
Like FRP, stainless steel cleanrooms have been around for a long time. The combination of metal strength with the stainless clean surface allows for easy cleaning and strength resistance combined.
Here are some ideal uses for these premium products:
- Bio-Safety Labs
- Cleanroom Systems
- Research/Pharmaceutical Facilities
- Healthcare
More Information
All of these systems come with the Miller Paneling Specialties 35 years of experience that translates into a practical solution that not only looks beautiful but has all the features and benefits required for cleanroom solutions wherever and for whatever they are designed for.
If you would like the full details on each of these products, please download the brochure here.

How To Bring Visual Appeal To Your Business
Sprucing up the walls in your home or business is not limited to only paint or wallpaper. Decorative wall paneling can be a great solution to add visual appeal to any space.
When you hear the term “wall paneling”, the immediate thought may be that it is outdated and boring, but that is far from the truth. There are some exciting and very modern options for showcasing your brand or identity in your business.
Design Options
If you are wondering if selecting paneling to cover your walls narrows your options, that is certainly not the case. Contemporary designs are far from the simple wood that was ideal in the ’60s and ’70s. While there is nothing wrong with a natural wood look, there are endless options from mimicking stone to creating something that no one else will be able to duplicate.
At Miller Paneling, we create wall panels with custom colors, patterns and even provide options with your logo or company name. Our decorative wall solutions are not only functional and durable but also an excellent way to enhance the atmosphere of any retail or commercial space.
Added Benefits
If you have any walls that look a little uneven or have an undesirable texture, an efficient and cost-effective solution is to use wall paneling. Our Wall paneling has options that can be applied straight to the studs and provides custom printing options with almost anything you can imagine printed on them. It will be an easier process (and easier on your pocketbook) to use panels to create a desirable look instead of replacing the entire wall or structure.
Another major pro of using wall paneling is that the materials used in our wall paneling solutions are incredibly durable. They can last many years and hold up well to heavy cleaning and even being bumped or scraped during usual day-to-day activity. In the event of any major damage to an area of the wall, it can be quite simple to replace just a panel or two instead of having to fill, patch and color match the paint to touch up the wall.

The Importance of Quality Materials: Introducing The LINEAGE PRO Line
Whether starting from the ground up or remodeling an existing structure, the materials chosen for your project are of the utmost importance. The rebar, lumber, and flooring down to the finishing touches, every material selected needs to be a high quality product that will stand the test of time, and your choice of wall covering should be no different.
Wall coverings can make a huge impact not only on the finished appearance of your project, but in the time and money spent on upkeep as well as the ease of cleaning and possible replacement or repairs.
Taking your needs into consideration, we have developed the new LINEAGE PRO line just for you.
What Is LINEAGE PRO?
LINEAGE PRO is in an interior wall cladding panel made of PVC
How is LINEAGE PRO Superior to Standard FRP?
There are some excellent benefits of using LINEAGE PRO when compared to generic FRP panels. To start, it contains no fiberglass, which is a huge plus for installers because it reduces skin and eye irritation. This is a major safety consideration. It is also exceedingly quick and easy to install when compared to FRP. Our panels can be adhered to almost any solid, clean surface, including drywall, concrete block, wood, metal and more. This means that no matter what type of building materials you are working with, this product should be your top choice.
LINEAGE PRO is class I/A fire rated and will not lose its color, erode, or “fiber bloom”, ensuring a sleek, durable surface. There is also a wide range of color and trim options for you to choose from.
With all of these benefits, you may be thinking that LINEAGE PRO will be out of your project budget, but that is not the case! This line is extremely cost-effective; it’s Class I/A at a price point closer to a Class III / C FRP panel.
Ideal Uses
LINEAGE PRO is a great option for many businesses, and we wanted to take time to list a few of them for you:
- Universities & Government Buildings
- Public Restrooms
- Change Rooms
- Cafeterias
- High Traffic Areas (i,e. hallways or lobbies)
- Offices
- Waiting Rooms
- Car Wash – Tunnel & Clean Work Areas
- Corrosive Environments
- Animal Confinement

Why Stainless Steel is Ideal For Busy Businesses
When someone walks into your business, you want to make sure you have put your best foot forward so that everything looks well maintained, clean, and professional. You have one chance to make a good first impression. Ensuring your building is aesthetically pleasing doesn’t just have to do with your cleaning schedule or decor, it starts with choosing your wall protection.
Something that is very obvious when you walk into high-traffic areas is the condition of the walls. Facilities such as hospitals and kitchens have heavy foot traffic and typically move large pieces of equipment around leaving marks and scuffs on their walls. An effective solution to minimize this problem is choosing a stainless steel wall covering.
Why Stainless Steel?
In addition to being visually appealing, stainless steel is incredibly durable; so instead of replacing wall coverings or repairing holes and nicks in your walls every year, stainless steel simply has to be kept clean. It can withstand high impact, daily use as it is extremely sturdy and unyielding, and it does not corrode with the use of harsh cleaners. This is going to cut down on time and money spent on maintenance and replacement costs.
Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable, and new material normally contains between 50-80% recycled material already. So not only are you getting a great solution for your wall coverings, but you are also making an environmentally sustainable choice.
An added benefit is that some of our stainless steel options include concealed fasteners which can minimize bacterial growth, especially in restaurant and healthcare environments.
Ideal Uses
There are many facilities that use stainless steel. Here are just a few of them:
- Restaurants
- Hospitals
- Places with high cart traffic
- Healthcare
- Laboratories
- Cafeterias
- Pharmaceutical
- Behavioral Health
- Food Production
How To Keep Stainless Steel Looking Great
One consideration that can come up when considering stainless steel is how difficult it can be to keep clean of fingerprints and water marks. The good news is that if you know how to properly clean it, it’s not as difficult as you might think.
MPS stainless steel is actually very easy to care for and clean with various polishes, turpentine, or soap and water to prevent water staining. You can even polish it with watered-down vinegar or olive oil if you choose. When it is bright and clean, stainless steel is extremely pleasing to the eye.
Here are a few cleaning methods you can try.
