PVC cabinet board can’t be painted dark colors: FALSE

Painting PVC a dark color all depends on the LRV (Light reflectivity value) of the paint. Most commonly, dark paints do not reflect heat well, which causes the PVC to absorb excess amounts of heat. This will cause the material to expand and contract, and affect its performance.

New advancements in paint technology (https://www.foamboardpvc.com/) include dark colors that reflect light, just as a white surface would. This makes the colors PVC can be painted limitless. Check out AquaSurTech for more information.

PVC moves uncontrollably : FALSE

PVC expands and contracts along its length due to temperature changes. Similar to how wood moves across its width due to moisture content, you just have to be aware of this and control the movement where needed. This does not pose an issue, except when you are dealing with longer lengths.

To get the best installation possible and ensure you get the manufacturer’s warranty, be sure to follow their instructions for installation.
