Milking Parlor wall covering

Dave Sherburne NY · Aug 10, 2013

About 8 years ago my boss put up a new milking parlor. The walls were covered with what looked like white plastic cardboard in a double layer. 1/2" thick 4' X 12'. I need to get some to put on the walls in the cellar of out church which has flooded twice in 2011 and twice this year.
Yes I know the church should rebuild on higher ground and so should I and the rest of the town, but most of us can't afford to.
Does anybody know what it is called and what company makes it ???????

They are called: Corrugated Plastic Sheets
Here is a link to FarmTek. They have the sheets and the fasteners and moldings for the stuff.

But, are they fire resistant?

Yes FRP is what we used on kitchen walls. joe

Did you get it again Thurs. evening/night? Got .85" here. Two miles south 2+".
Fri. AM I went to Owego. The valley all the way down rt. 38 was full to flooded. 38 was closed near Freeville! Debris and damage everywhere. It was actually worse than in Sep. of 2011. The damage that I saw then was mostly right in Owego.
Coming back through, Ithaca was a real mess!

Look for Kallite, when I googled FRP it came up as sequentia, with a pebble finnish-1/8 inch thick. That is what they almost always use around here for walls in commercial kitchens, for the insides of walk-in coolers and even insides of reefer trucks. It is very tough and when you use their joining strips and seal with RTV silicone it is VAPOR proof. Very reasonably priced too.

dave, try north brook farms in weedsport. they sell several kinds of plastic wallboard to farmers like us, and others too. 1-877-624-2638
my cows sleep on mattresses from them too.

We got about an inch thursday nite, no problems. Over in Cortland they got about 4 inches with roads flooded.

You got it JDseller, That's the stuff, The contractor must have gotten it around here somewhere. They put 12 foot sheets on the walls, boss said at that time it was $120 for a 12 footer.
Thanks , I knew someone would know.

WHY? Is it a Baptist church in Alabama?

Be careful to let the walls 'breathe' or the damp will travel upwards or even you could end up with stinking rotten mould!
Just a thought....find out more before you buy!

Totally agree, mold issue. Stop the flooding problem, dry it out. Covering it up will only cause a major problem.

David G · Aug 11, 2013

You are better off leaving it open it there is a significant chance to flood again. It will mold if you close it up.

NY prefers fish to people, not allowed to do anything to streams to alleviate the flooding problem. If the stream was diverted back to where it was 50 years ago there wouldn't be a problem on the north end.
