Interior Wall Panels
About Interior Wall Panels
In commercial and agricultural environments, the wall liner isn't a finishing detail - it's an operational requirement. Dairy barns, commercial car washes, food processing facilities, kennels, and institutional kitchens demand surfaces that survive power-washing, chemical sanitizers, ammonia, and constant moisture without cracking, delaminating, or harbouring bacteria. Pro Materials supplies Kaycan I-Span™ polymeric interior liner panels and AgriTUFF™ agricultural panels: Class A fire-rated, chemically resistant, tongue-and-groove systems that install with concealed fasteners for a smooth, continuous, hygienic surface. Non-porous, easy to sanitize, and built for the demands of facilities where hygiene and long service life are the operating standard. Wholesale supply to commercial contractors and agricultural builders across Canada.

Key factors to evaluate when specifying interior wall panels for your project.
I-Span™ and AgriTUFF™ Selection Guide
I-Span™ polymeric panels
are designed for interior wall and ceiling liner applications in commercial and institutional buildings. The tongue-and-groove panel system installs over standard framing with concealed fasteners. Panel surface is smooth, non-porous, and resistant to moisture, most cleaning chemicals, and impact. Class A fire rating (ASTM E-84) makes I-Span suitable for all commercial occupancy types. Available in white (standard) and custom colours.
AgriTUFF™ panels
are specifically engineered for agricultural applications - dairy barns, hog barns, poultry facilities, and livestock housing where ammonia resistance and frequent power-washing are standard operating conditions. The impact-resistant polymer formulation handles high-pressure water without delamination or surface degradation that would occur with standard wall finishes.
Installation
Both panel systems use a concealed T-bar or receiver track installation system. Panels are screw-fastened through the tongue, then the groove of the next panel conceals the fastener. This provides a smooth, continuous surface with no exposed fasteners that could harbour bacteria. Panels can be cut with standard woodworking tools.
Surface maintenance
Both I-Span and AgriTUFF surfaces are easy to clean with commercial cleaners and disinfectants. The smooth, non-porous surface does not support biofilm growth the way painted masonry or drywall does. For food-contact or high-hygiene environments, the panel surface meets the USDA Dairy Facility requirements for wall surface cleanability.
Application temperature
I-Span and AgriTUFF panels should be installed in environments maintained above 0°C. Panel expansion and contraction requirements must be observed - leave minimum 1/8" at all fixed terminations for panels over 20' in length.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is I-Span™ used for?
I-Span™ panels are used as interior wall and ceiling liner systems in commercial buildings where moisture, chemical resistance, and hygiene are critical. Typical applications include commercial car washes, food processing and cold storage facilities, commercial kitchens and food prep areas, indoor pools and aquatic facilities, veterinary clinics, kennels, breweries, and agricultural buildings. The panels' chemical and moisture resistance, combined with their Class A fire rating, make them suitable for virtually any commercial interior where a durable, cleanable surface is needed.
Are I-Span panels approved for use in food processing facilities?
I-Span™ panels meet USDA Dairy Facility requirements for wall surface cleanability and are suitable for use in food processing and food contact areas. The smooth, non-porous surface resists biofilm formation and can be cleaned with standard food-safe sanitizers. For specific regulatory applications (HACCP, FDA, CFIA), verify the panel with your food safety consultant to confirm it meets the specific requirements for your facility type.
Can I-Span panels be installed over existing drywall?
Yes, in many cases. I-Span panels can be installed over clean, flat existing wall surfaces using construction adhesive and the standard fastener system. The existing surface must be structurally sound and flat enough for the panel system to lay flat. In high-moisture environments, removing existing drywall and installing over bare framing (or moisture-resistant sheathing) is recommended for maximum durability.
