- What are the advantages of vinyl over wood?
- A wood fence system may initially cost less than vinyl, but
wood systems require maintenance. Conversely, vinyl fencing has almost
zero maintenance cost, particularly compared to painted wood fences.
Unlike wood, vinyl isn't subject to weathering, which can increase
the likelihood of costly partial or full replacement of a wood fence
system. Although your initial investment may be more with vinyl, the
cost difference is quickly eliminated when you consider the substantial cost
of maintaining a wood fence.
-
- How safe are vinyl fence systems?
- Unlike some treated wood fencing, vinyl is an environmentally safe
material with no toxins to pollute the air or seep into the ground. Vinyl
fencing has a smooth surface and there are no nails, sharp edges or
splinters.
-
- Will vinyl fencing break in cold weather?
-
It is normal for materials to expand
and contract during temperature changes . POLYVINYL FENCE
SYSTEMS® has been
engineered to accommodate normal temperature swings and changing
climatic conditions. As with most plastics, vinyl will become less
flexible in colder weather conditions. POLYVINYL FENCE SYSTEMS® contain
impact modifiers for cold weather, and unless subjected to
unusual impact, will not break.
-
- Will vinyl fencing turn yellow?
- No! POLYVINYL FENCE SYSTEMS® contain titanium dioxide
for ultraviolet light resistance. POLYVINYL® products are
warranted for a lifetime against discoloration.
-
- Why doesn't vinyl fencing come in dark colors?
- Titanium dioxide is the main ultraviolet
inhibitor and is a white pigment. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain
a dark color while having this significant amount of white pigment.
Dark colors also absorb heat and currently there is not a technology
that dissipates this heat buildup.
-
- How do you clean Vinyl?
- Any household cleaner will remove light dirt. Light
pressure of a Brillo Pad will remove heavy dirt and what may seem like
stains.
-
- How does Vinyl fencing hold up to weed eaters?
- Under normal use, the plastic string of weed eaters will not
damage vinyl fencing.
