PVC/Vinyl/Plastic, What’s the Difference?

In layman’s terms, PVC and Vinyl are two terms that describe the same type of fence. More technically however, PVC, or Poly Vinyl Chloride, is simply an ingredient used to make up vinyl material. Vinyl is the end product that we use to fabricate the fence sections we install. We do not care to use the word “plastic” when describing our vinyl fences, but if someone calls our company and states that they want a “plastic” fence, we know they really mean vinyl. From the naked eye, vinyl can seem like a plastic material, but in reality, it is so much more.

 

Our Vinyl Fencing

We source our vinyl material from companies that adhere to the highest quality standards.  All our vinyl passes the ASTM F964-13 test. This test establishes the “end all, be all” standard in vinyl producing. This test lets us know what kind of product we are purchasing, so we can then assure our customers of the quality of the product we are selling to them. The ASTM F964-13 test measures every attribute of vinyl products from strength and durability to color retention and heat resistance.

Vinyl Fabrication or FVF

Frederick Fence Company purchases the raw materials used to construct our fences, but we use our own team of vinyl experts to measure, cut, and assemble each section the way we know it should be done; the right way, the quality way, the BEST way.  Each fence project is cut, prepared, and filled to order with each customer in mind, essentially providing a custom fence for every customer.
