All Vinyl Fences Are Not Created Equal

By Ron Wooden

Being a Licensed, Diamond Certified Fence Contractor for over 25 years, we feel pretty confident in our extensive knowledge to guide and recommend with most all types of fencing needs, so with that said we must inform you that ALL VINYL FENCES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!

But don't worry, we have found the best of the best - Bufftech Vinyl

We have done the research and through 25+ years of experience in the fence construction industry we have discovered that a Bufftech Vinyl Fence is superior to all other vinyl fence manufacturers. They are 100-year old worldwide company with a proven product backed by a lifetime warranty. This vinyl is an exclusive professional grade product that cannot be found at your local hardware store. Here are the reasons why the only vinyl fence we carry is Bufftech vinyl and how it is by far the superior choice:

How a Bufftech vinyl fence is made.

The base ingredient is rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) modified to provide exceptional impact strength and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. This vinyl formulation is similar to that of vinyl siding, which has a history of providing long-term durability and structural integrity.

It is extremely strong!

PVC can be impact modified. However, Bufftech has tailored its vinyl formulations to meet or exceed the requirements necessary for excellent performance in the field. Flexibility is the norm and a benefit of vinyl fence, allowing the fence to retain its strength and shape. Most of Bufftech vinyl products feature a steel reinforced bottom rail for a stronger more rigid fence - reducing the chances of sagging or bowing.

Engineered to accommodate extreme weather hot or cold.

As with most plastics, vinyl becomes less flexible in colder weather conditions. However, unless the vinyl fence is subjected to unusual impact, it will not break. It is normal for material to expand and contract during temperature changes. The Buffech vinyl product has been engineered to accommodate normal temperature swings and changing climate conditions. In fact, the lasting beauty and durability of Bufftech fence installations can be found in varying climates from Alaska to Hawaii.

The color does not fade.

A Bufftech fence is the only manufacturer to offer ColorLast fade protection. This exclusive feature on the Clay color fence provides superior color retention and longer-lasting color.

It will NOT turn yellow.

Bufftech products contain 10 parts titanium dioxide (TIO2), which reduces the likelihood of ultraviolet degradation - which is what causes the vinyl fence to turn yellow.

No need for paint, the vinyl fence is beautiful.

There should be no reason to paint your vinyl fence, they come in a variety of different beautiful colors and textures. There is just no need to mess with the hassle of painting and ongoing touch-ups! (In fact, any painting of Bufftech vinyl voids the written warranty)

It is "self-extinguishing".

PVC has a high flash point of 900°F and does not readily ignite. It is therefore categorized as being "self-extinguishing".

Kids can climb on it, horses won't like to chew on it.

These vinyl products have smooth surfaces with no nails, sharp edges or chance for splinters. You, your children, pets and animals are all safer. Vinyl has a tough surface, retains virtually no moisture and has no taste - therefore, horses tend not to "crib" or chew on a Bufftech vinyl fence.

Longevity and virtually maintenance-free.

Bufftech was one of the earliest pioneers of the vinyl fence business. Bufftech's process is similar to that which has been used to produce vinyl siding. In addition, Bufftech performs accelerate weathering tests which have produced excellent results. This vinyl fence leaves you with no repair bills and no ongoing maintenance, just a lifetime warranty.

Lifetime Warranty.

Backed by CertainTeed, a world-leading manufacturer of building materials founded in 1904, a Bufftech vinyl products are warranted against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the original homeowner.

It's LESS expensive than wood.

Although your investment is more initially than for a wood fence, this is where your expense ends! The cost difference is quickly eliminated once the substantial cost of continuous maintenance of a wood or metal fence is considered. Bufftech vinyl fences are the most economical way to go, confidently saving you time and money with virtually no maintenance or repair bills and backed by a lifetime warranty.
