What is Virgin Vinyl?
When you first set out on your “having a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) fence installed” journey, you will most likely hear many unfamiliar and confusing terms. It is important for you as the consumer to understand what your fence contractor is saying so you can avoid buying fencing that is not of the highest quality.
Educating yourself on the fence materials used, can only protect you from getting ripped off. When purchasing a PVC fence in Florida, you want to make sure it is made from “virgin Vinyl”. Simply put, virgin vinyl means it is made from the purest materials. No waste or “regrind” material has been used to make the PVC fence.
Why is this important? Using virgin PVC means that the resilience, impact resistance, and UV inhibitors are at their full potential. In Florida, virgin vinyl fencing is important because the extreme heat and sunshine will cause a fence of lesser quality to turn yellow and become brittle.
As a buyer, educate yourself on the fencing you will be purchasing. Know what the industry terms mean and what your PVC fence is made of. Lastly, it’s not always easy to recognize the different types of PVC so be sure to ask a lot of questions. This little bit of knowledge can save you hundreds of dollars.
