WARRANTY

IMPORTANCE OF A WARRANTY

Different vinyl fence manufacturers provide a wide range of warranties. Some last 10 to 20 years. Some companies offer lifetime warranties. The question a consumer needs to ask is, "What is the difference in products and warranties?"

To make a durable vinyl fence product, manufacturers must blend the right ingredients in the resin and extrude it at the proper temperature. If this process is not followed correctly, the vinyl fence will have poor durability with different weather conditions. The fence may turn yellow, lack strength, and crack in harsh weather conditions.

Our vinyl profile manufacturers use ingredients and processing controls that ensure compliance to ASTM standards. Material warranties should refer to an ASTM F964-94 vinyl fence standard.

Titanium Dioxide (Ti02) is the ultraviolet inhibitor and is used in paint, plastics and other outdoor products to protect them from the sun. Ti02 is the most expensive ingredient in the manufacturing of vinyl fence. Ten percent (10%) or more is necessary to have a product with a lifetime warranty.

Another critical additive in the polyvinyl chloride formula is called impact modifiers (acrylics). The superior vinyl manufacturers use over five (5) parts 100.

If vinyl fence is formulated and manufactured correctly, it will be good for a lifetime. If the manufacturers warranty is less than lifetime or requires a lot of hoop jumping to preserve the consumers' rights, ask "why?".
