WHY VINYL?
Maintenance, repair and
replacement of fencing can be a major (and on-going) expense for
individual homeowners and large projects like Common Interest
Developments, Homeowners Associations and Commercial Developments. In the
last 15 years vinyl has become an increasingly popular long-term solution
to these problems.
Never Needs Painting
Since vinyl is U. V. protected it never needs to be painted. The color
goes all the way through the material so scratches or gouges are almost
invisible. The posts are made of 100% virgin vinyl and will never rot,
shrink, decompose or rust like a wood or iron fence post. Although wood or
iron may initially cost less than vinyl, that advantage is soon lost
because of painting, repair, maintenance and replacement.
Eliminates Budget Item
Because most vinyl fence manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty,
after installation there is little to be done except maybe rinse it off
once in a while (usually Mother Nature takes care of this!) Many
associations are now able to remove fence as a line item on their reserve
account because of the warranty.
Graffiti Resistant
Graffiti is easily removed with acetone or lacquer thinner without
harming the fence. Colors currently available are White, Tan and Gray.
Dark colors are not available since they absorb the rays of the sun and
would eventually damage the material. Unlike inexpensive plastic patio
furniture, vinyl fencing is U. V. protected by 10 parts of titanium
dioxide per hundred which is equivalent to a sun block rating of 38.
Time-Tested Performance
Vinyl fencing has been field tested for 15 years and laboratory tested
to 50 years. Because of this most manufacturers are able to offer lifetime
warranties. Vinyl fencing materials are very strong and resilient. In
fact, vinyl has five times the tensile strength of wood and four times the
flexibility.
Ranchers and homeowners across the
country have been converting to vinyl for 15 years now because of the
strength, safety, longevity and low maintenance.
Vinyl Fencing Popularity Soars
Only in the last ten years have residential styles been available and
in that period of time it has become the fastest growing segment in the
fencing industry nationwide.
Thousands of homeowners and
businesses are choosing vinyl over more traditional materials for several
reasons:
