More Than Just Material Cost
The material cost of Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard ranges from $2.50-$3.50 per square foot. But before you crunch the numbers, take some time to consider the total cost of ownership of the materials for your project and the associated benefits that will save you money in the long run. Whether you’re building new or renovating, carefully consider investing in the right building materials that will pay off.
Material
What materials will you be using for your project? Don’t forget to include the cost of all the hardware, trim, paint, and supplies needed to complete the installation.
Labor
Whether you’re a savvy DIYer or a professional, one thing remains the same--time is money. Depending on the speed and ease of install, you could shave days off a project.
Maintenance & Care
Now your project is complete, but don’t forget about maintenance costs. Fresh paint, cleanability, wear and tear repairs, or even water damage of less durable alternatives leaves you with an added cost.
Durability & Lifespan
Consider the product benefits that impact how long the material is expected to last and how that varies in different environments. If materials need to be replaced more often, you’ll have another round of materials and labor costs to factor in.
Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard vs. Drywall
Wall&CeilingBoard is extremely lightweight and far more user-friendly than drywall — no taping, mudding, sanding, or painting required. Most jobs can be completed in one day leaving you with a bright, water-resistant, abuse-resistant, low-maintenance wall.
Downfalls of Drywall
- Takes 4x longer to install... and messy!
- 40% heavier
- Ordinary use leads to wear and tear
- Prone to water damage
Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard vs. FRP
With superior durability against water and ease of installation, Wall&CeilingBoard is an ideal replacement for dated Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels.
Flaws of FRP
- Multi-step installation
- Requires multiple installers
- Difficult to handle and cut
- High installed cost per square foot
Trusscore SlatWall vs. MDF
With hidden fasteners, the ability to support up to 75lbs per square foot, and an interlocking connection system that do-it-yourselfers and professionals alike can install quickly, Trusscore SlatWall is a premier choice for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications.
Mishaps of MDF
- Prone to damage
- Supports only ½ the weight of PVC SlatWall
- Susceptible to moisture
- Higher cost to finish — absorbs paint heavily
