Maximum Quality — Minimum Maintenance
Adding Vinyl fencing, decking or railings will help increase the value of your property while maintaining an appearance of distinction and separation. Whether your main focus is aesthetics, privacy, or functionality — with a wide variety of colours and styles to choose from we can help you find the right vinyl options for you.
- Vinyl is about 5 times stronger than wood, and therefore lasts much longer. It is very rare that vinyl needs replacing at all.
- Quality vinyl is not just coloured on the exterior, but all the way through the depth of the material. No painting or refinishing is required to keep the colours vibrant.
- Vinyl is easy to clean – Soap and water is generally all it takes to clean your vinyl structures.
- Vinyl does not decompose – Vinyl is immune to rot, insects, mold and rust. It definitely stands the test of time.
- Vinyl is flexible – It will not snap as easy as wood, or bend as easy as metal. No product stands up to Alberta’s strong winds and weather conditions as well as vinyl.
- Vinyl is kid friendly – Vinyl doesn’t splinter or chip, making it extremely safe for the little ones playing outside. Also, when children decide to add “a little extra beauty” while colouring outside, it doesn’t penetrate the exterior as it does with wood, making it much easier to remove.
- Vinyl has a long lifetime – Vinyl can last up to 20-30 years
Cons of Wood Fencing & Decking
Wood is a temperamental material, which means that it is unpredictable and can split and crack under various weather conditions.
Wood shrinks about 1/8in – 1/4in as it dries after installation, leaving, occasionally, minor unforeseen gaps in the fence.
Gates will also swell in the winter making tightly set doors difficult to open
The life span of a wood fence is only 10-20 years.
Quality of wood has declined over the years. Therefore, your fence may not last as long as it would have in the past
wood is more difficult and labor intensive to repair; you will need to replace whole panels of wood in order to keep the section from falling apart and looking unified
