Designing Fences with PVC

PVC fence designs are becoming more elaborate. They developed in the early 1990s from simple posts and slats into complex interlocking systems with tongue-and-groove “privacy panels” and a variety of molded finials and caps.

PVC Fence Cap layers are blooming with new colors in the past six months. Whereas fences have typically been either white, tan, or gray, Kroy recently added khaki, navy blue, forest green, burgundy, and “Timberlast” woodgrain (made by striping black ink into a monolayer tan or gray profile). Bufftech introduced a marbleized woodgrain effect two years ago.

Most processors of fence profiles are evaluating foam as a way to raise output and possibly gain other attributes like sound deadening. Foam is used in PVC building profiles, but these tend to be light trim pieces, not free-standing ones, because foam reduces PVC’s impact strength, though it can increase stiffness.

Serving the communities for all types of fences: Westchester County, Amawalk, Annsville, Armonk, Beech Hill, Bronxville, Brooklyn, NYC, Manhattan Beach, Elmhurst, Yonkers, Scaresdale, Port Chester, Rye, Peekskill, Mount Vernon, Milton Lincolndale and many more areas of New York.
