Purchasing .060 & .090 Plas-Tex Interior
Wall Panels
Where can I purchase Plas-Tex?
In many parts of the country Plas-Tex interior
wall panels are available at Home Depot, Lowe's
& Menard's retail stores. All Do-It-Best member
stores carry or can special order our products.
Can I coil up Plas-Tex to bring it home
from the store?
Yes! Plas-Tex panels may be coiled up to fit
in your vehicle for short periods of time.
After you get them home, lay them on a horizontal
surface so that they can regain full flatness.
This may take up to 24 hours.
Are there moldings available for Poly-Wall?
Plas-Tex Poly-Wall is about .060" (1/16")
thick and is easily installed with caulked
seams. Many retail stores carry rigid PVC
moldings that may be used with Plas-Tex Poly-Wall.
How much of Plas-Tex is recycled?
Over 95% of the plastic in our product is
reclaimed post-industrial scrap that would
otherwise go to landfills.
Is Plas-Tex really 100% waterproof?
Yes! And its waterproof all the way through!
Do the Plas-Tex colors always match?
As with all manufacturing, slight color shifts
can occur from lot to lot. Be sure to buy
all the panels you need for your project at
one time.
Where to use .060 & .090 Plas-Tex Interior
Wall Panels
Can I use Plas-Tex outside?
Plas-Tex interior wall panels are designed
for interior use only.
Can I line my garage with Plas-Tex?
Because of the thermal expansion rate of the
recycled plastic used in Plas-Tex, applications
must be in the temperature controlled parts
of a building or residence.
Adhesives & Caulking for .060 & .090 Plas-Tex
Interior Wall Panels
I can't find the adhesives listed on the
Plas-Tex label.
If you have difficulty locating one of the
adhesives listed on our literature and back
label, call us at 800-835-4110 and we will
help you find some.
Why Can't I glue Plas-Tex to nonporous
walls?
Plas-Tex interior wall panels must be applied
with latex adhesive. For latex adhesive to
cure, the water carrier must be removed. As
the water can't go through our panel, the
wall surface must be absorptive, so that the
adhesive cures to a strong bond.
Can I use adhesive in tubes to install
Plas-Tex?
All recommended glues for .060" & .090" Plas-Tex
interior wall panels are trowel style latex
adhesives. Plas-Tex requires a continuous
adhesive bond.
Can I install Plas-Tex with solvent based
adhesive?
Adhesives that contain flammable vapors are
not recommended for installing .060" & .090"
Plas-Tex interior wall panels.
Can I install Plas-Tex with rivets or
screws?
Rivets or other mechanical fasteners may be
added after installation with a recommended
adhesive to meet specific building requirements.
Ensure that sufficient space is allowed around
all fastener shanks to allow for movement.
Should I use any Caulk with Plas-Tex?
For a watertight installation, we recommend
the use of 100% silicone caulking with our
interior wall finishes.
