FRP should be available at any commercial drywall supply house,
good lumber yards, and some box stores. Typically stocked in
limited colors (white and almond) and stocked as 4x8 and 4x10.
Trim pieces include cap strip, H mold, and inside and outside
corners.
There are many more colors available, but take some time to get.
It is also available bonded to plywood, wafer board, drywall,
rigid foam, etc.

How is it attached to the studs? A cursory look showed no screws on the
outside surface.
Adhesive?
Thanks,

Yes, adhesive. At least one I know of specifically for FRP is by
Liquid Nails, coincidentally:

FRP panels are generally glued to a substrate like moisture resistant
drywall or tile backer board. It is possible to find plywood with an FRP
overlay, but this type of product is not generally available.

It's glued on. I helped install a bunch of that stuff in a gigantic pie
freezer at a Sara Lee factory and we backed up the adhesive with little
white plastic anchors (the type where the installer needs to pre-drill the
holes and then tap in the little pin to get the anchor to grab).
This stuff is about $10 a sheet at Home Depot, and they usually stock the
glue right by the paneling-in-question.
