Garfield Pool is a beautiful pool located in San Francisco, CA. We, the team at Miller Paneling were excited and proud to bring our beautiful and skilled labor to the Garfield Pool Trespa project.

We love doing projects like these. Making medical facilities feel more welcoming and inviting makes the patient experience all that much more pleasant. We were proud to be contracted to help with the Palm Springs Care Clinic remodeling and wall protection installation service. Because of our long history in supporting the highest safety and design standards in the medical field, the team at Miller Paneling was uniquely qualified to take on this project!
Every project has its specific needs, and your next project may benefit from more modern wall paneling solutions. Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is a great option for anyone looking for cost-effective and durable wall protection.
The Miller Paneling team has been working in the wall paneling industry for over 30 years now and we work with brands such as John Muir Health, Kaiser Permanente, Apple, Chick-Fil-A, and even sporting facilities such as the new LA Rams SoFi Stadium.
Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels are thin, flexible plastic panels constructed of strong polyester resin and reinforced with fiberglass. FRP is astonishingly resistant to rotting, staining, and mold. They are highly resistant to abuse, splintering or denting and they are common solutions for areas that typically have issues with bacteria and moisture. FRP is a hygienic solution for common trouble areas.
Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels outperform metal and wood walls, which can rust, and grow weak as they age. FRP also outperforms all paints and wallpapers which typically only look pristine for a short period of time and need additional long-term maintenance. FRP, on the other hand, is long-lasting with little to no risk of damage, wearing, and staining – it practically pays for itself over time. Not only are FRP panels durable and attractive, but they also save you time and money in the long run as repainting or repairing holes in drywall won’t be necessary.
FRP panels have the added benefit of being easy on your budget making it a suitable solution for businesses of all sizes.
Our Fiber Reinforced Plastic panels can be installed on almost any surface, from plywood to drywall and concrete. There are many businesses that can benefit from the use of FRP, including…

Finding a cleanroom solution that meets the requirements of a project and stays within the budget can be very challenging. At Miller Paneling Specialties we take a consultative approach to help you resolve this dilemma. We work with some amazing products that are supplied by fantastic suppliers. Each one has specific properties that provide opportunities to help us design a solution that fits what you and the project owner need.
We have created four different categories to help ensure we find the best fit for your project. There are multiple options in each of these categories that you can choose from.
We have three options in the first category. The AWS Lineage Pro is a PVC 2mm panel that has great features including coloring fast, printable surface, and different finishing options. This line has a lot of options to best fit that tight budget solution for rooms that need a clean look, but the hygienic property and sealing requirements are low.
Like the Lineage PRO, Altro’s Puragard is a 2mm PVC panel with similar features. This product is not as glossy as the Lineage Pro, but it has the same features and benefits. Again, this is a great low-cost solution to fit the specific needs of your cleanroom.
NUDO FRP has been around for a long time and is a trusted solution to the low-cost end of cleanroom solutions. This product has all the usual benefits trusted by customers for many years and is ideal for new or retrofit construction.
Here are the most popular application areas for these products:
There are two options in the better category. Palram’s Duraclad interlocking wall and ceiling liner panels feature a multiwall structure that results in a high level of rigidity and strength and allows for rapid installation. These interlocking tongue & groove edges permit fasteners to be completely hidden, resulting in a clean, smooth finish.
The need for a clean environment is met with NUDO UtiLite. This product is made of easy-to-maintain interlocking wall and ceiling panels. The interlocking nature of the panels offers a near seamless appearance. These versatile panels can be installed quickly, both vertically or horizontally, directly to studs or to any substrate.
The ideal applications for these products are as follows:
There are three product lines that we would consider the “best” options. AWS Sempra is an 8.5mm product designed for strength, full hygienic features, and installation benefits all in one. Sempra offers a beautiful, bright clean hermetic finish that can be applied over existing infrastructure for rebuilds or directly to studs on new builds.
Another AWS Product, the Lineage Pro HYG line, is a step up from the regular Lineage PRO and has a 2.5mm panel that has the full hygienic properties on its face for a full hygienic wall solution. The panels are sealed with either a hot welded seam or a cold chemical bonded seam for a complete sealed room solution.
Again like Lineage PRO HYG, Altro Whiterock has all the features to hygienically seal a clean room for those areas where a complete seal is required. Whiterock has a solid name in the market in these solutions.
Here are some of the top applications for these products:
Finally, we have three more options for anyone looking for the ultimate “forever product” that looks beautiful. Arcolpast offers the Acrolyl panel system that is carefree, easy to clean, and easy to maintain long term even when changes are made to a room. It can be completely and seamlessly repaired back to its original look making it the premium product for biocontainment, healthcare, and research facilities.
Adding strength to all the benefits of the Arcoplast panels is a second premium option, the Glass Fiber Reinforced MAT Core (GFRMC) product that has a fiberglass interior for impact strength. The reparability is the same and is the best forever type product on the market.
Like FRP, stainless steel cleanrooms have been around for a long time. The combination of metal strength with the stainless clean surface allows for easy cleaning and strength resistance combined.
Here are some ideal uses for these premium products:
All of these systems come with the Miller Paneling Specialties 35 years of experience that translates into a practical solution that not only looks beautiful but has all the features and benefits required for cleanroom solutions wherever and for whatever they are designed for.

Whether they are framing a new house, creating stone structures, or creating the most cutting edge design, women have always left their mark on the construction industry. While it has traditionally been male-dominated, the presence of women in the field is steadily increasing and cannot be overlooked.
While the headlines about women in the industry today may be surrounding the immense growth in numbers, there is still a long history of women in construction. In Medieval Times, women worked in the field doing tasks such as carrying water, digging ditches, and mixing mortar. There were also some who were able to learn masonry, carpentry, or other crafts from their fathers or husbands. In these times it was considered socially unacceptable to record construction work by women as “wage-earning work,” so it was not uncommon for them to be left off official records. This does make it difficult to know the exact numbers, but it is apparent that there was a female presence in the industry.
After the Industrial Revolution, the demand for labor increased in the construction industry, and women were able to gain work without as much social condemnation. By the late 19th century, the first women engineers and architects began to emerge such as Emily Warren Roebling who directed construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the most important times for women in construction was World War II. While men fought on the front lines, women were employed in areas that were previously considered unsuitable for them. They filled positions such as welders, crane operators, and electrical engineers. Unfortunately, when men returned from the war, women were removed from these positions. This played a major part in sparking the feminist movements of the 1960s. It wasn’t until midway through the ‘60s that the first law was passed to protect women in the workforce. Years later in 1979, Barbara Res was appointed as the first foreman to oversee a major American construction project from groundbreaking to completion.
With March being Women’s History Month, we wanted to take some time to put a spotlight on the fantastic women we have here at Miller Paneling Specialties.
