PVC Ceiling vs Soffit Ceiling: Which Should You Choose?
Choosing between a PVC ceiling and a soffit ceiling mostly comes down to where the ceiling goes. Here is a plain comparison of the two, based on the panels we supply and install.
The short answer
Both panels can be used indoors or outdoors. In practice, most people use PVC ceiling panels indoors and soffit panels outdoors.
- Inside the house: PVC ceiling is the usual choice.
- Car porch or outdoor area: soffit ceiling is the usual choice.
