Sourcing durable building materials tailored to agricultural construction is no easy task. Meeting the production needs of a poultry farm or dairy facility requires materials that can withstand harsh conditions. Conventional products like drywall and FRP often fall short in providing the durability necessary for a clean, sanitary environment. Trusscore is a superior drywall alternative for agricultural buildings and offers a long-lasting solution that keeps production running smoothly and maintains code compliance. The benefits of Trusscore far outweigh the costs, considering its resistance to chemicals, mold prevention, energy efficiency, and ease of installation.

Trusscore combines the strength of truss design with the durability of PVC to create a product impervious to the rigorous cleaning required in agricultural construction. Unlike traditional materials such as FRP, OSB, or plywood, Trusscore’s PVC panels do not break down when exposed to chemical cleaners. They can withstand regular pressure washing without absorbing moisture or compromising structural integrity.

Even with stringent sanitation practices, mold, bacteria, and viruses remain concerns that can be potentially fatal for livestock. High-moisture environments can cause the glue lines on FRP products to separate, creating ideal conditions for mildew and bacteria growth. This poses risks to food safety and can halt operations. Trusscore, made from food-grade PVC with a non-porous surface, prevents disease and mold growth. It is fully compliant with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and meets Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) facility requirements, making Trusscore a superior alternative to drywall and FRP in agricultural buildings.

Repairs and maintenance are part of everyday life in agricultural buildings. Replacing damaged wall panels in animal containment areas, milk rooms, and food processing facilities can suspend operations and reduce production. Trusscore provides a quick and simple solution. Weighing 40% less than drywall, Trusscore panels can be replaced by one person and come with a pre-punched screw flange for fool-proof installation.

Trusscore Wall and Ceiling panels have a light reflectivity value of 0.90, meaning the panels reflect 90% of available lighting. This reduces electricity consumption and increases energy efficiency. Bright environments promote optimal reproduction in poultry facilities, contributing to overall output and profitability.

Whether it's dairy barns needing robust, moisture-resistant walls or poultry farms requiring efficient, easy-to-clean surfaces, Trusscore delivers reliability and performance. Where conventional building products like drywall or FRP lack the durability necessary for long-term solutions in harsh environments, Trusscore Wall and Ceiling panels provide a superior alternative.
