13 Alternative Building Materials for Home Walls

11. UPVC Panels

UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) panels are an alternative building material for home walls that are water-resistant and termite-resistant, and highly durable.

This material is also easy to install and requires minimal maintenance.

12. GRC (Glassfiber Reinforced Cement) Boards

GRC boards are made from a mixture of cement and glass fiber, making them strong, waterproof, and fireproof. Installation is also faster than conventional bricks.

13. SIP Panels (Structural Insulated Panels)

SIP panels are construction panels consisting of a layer of insulation between two sheets of structural material.

This material is highly efficient at maintaining room temperature and speeding up the construction process.
