Frequently asked questions
What is Vinyl (PVC) Fence?
Vinyl (PVC) is short for polyvinyl chloride. Although very new in South Africa, the
vinyl fence market grows at 30% per annum in countries like the USA & Australia.
Our UV-resistant vinyl is 100% virgin vinyl (not recycled) and contains no lead.
Why Vinyl?
Our vinyl fence is rust free, robust and aesthetically very appealing, but the most important benefits
are the fact that it requires very little maintenance and that it is friendly to the environment.
Vinyl fencing is long-lasting and safe for children and does not contain
harmful toxins to pollute the sky or seep into the soil.
Which colours are available?
White, tan and grey.
How strong is vinyl?
Five times the tensile strength of wood and four times the flexibility. If your vinyl
does become damaged as a result of unusual impact, it can easily be replaced.
Our vinyl contains a high degree of impact modifiers. Aluminium inserts in bottom rails prevents "sagging".
Will it become brittle if exposed to cold temperatures?
Our vinyl under goes extreme tests. Although less flexible in very cold climates, it will accommodate temperature fluctuations.
Will vinyl become yellow over time?
No. Our manufacurers use more that 10 parts per 100 Ti02 to prevent abnormal change on colour of the fence.
Should vinyl be painted?
This is not recommended as this will create a maintenance liability.
Graffiti?
The non-porous surface means that graffiti does not adhere to vinyl.
It can be removed with ease using a mild detergent and water or pressure washer for stubborn stains.
