White vinyl fence is made from harmless non-toxic substances that are fully recyclable. These fences are manufactured using two processes: mono-extrusion and co-extrusion. Mono-extruded fences
contain twelve parts of titanium oxide and other ingredients
through-out the product where as co-extruded contains titanium oxide in
just the outer layer. Most manufacturers include Titanium Dioxide, which
has special ultraviolet inhibitors to keep it white and prevent yellowing due to the suns effects.
Vinyl panels are known for having a long life with strength and
flexibility. You will never have to worry about discoloring, warping or
peeling over time.They can also handle heavy storms or other
environmental conditions. Vinyl will look good far longer than wood with little to no maintenance involved. Even though vinyl is initially more costly than wood, vinyl does not need to be painted or treated so the overall cost is generally more cost effective.
Panels come in a variety of styles and colors with the most popular color being white. They are also offered in tan, clay, gray and almond. A new color that has recently been added is the wood grain look. But vinyl does have its limitations since it is not available in every color. Vinyl fence colors are limited because vinyl
is made using light colored pigmented products. Dying the product a
dark color would result in fading over time. Because of this vinyl is generally only offered in the lighter colors. Each manufacturer generally offers white but normally will have different color variations of a beige or tan colored product.
The most popular styles of white vinyl fence is
privacy, semi-privacy, picket, rail and split rail. One of the most
popular types of fencing is privacy. Privacy fencing is most used around
a pool or a house where privacy is important. Picket fences are some of the most functional and attractive of fences.
