     Often times customers looking to purchase a fence will choose vinyl over a wood alternative for their fencing due to the inevitable logevity of the fence in terms of its future maintence. Though this is true, what most customers often don't realize is the difference between the qualities of the various types of vinyl fences available. This leads us to our discussion about the difference between a Virgin Vinyl fence and that of a Cladded Vinyl fence. Understanding this vital difference could help save you hundreds of dollars in the long run in terms of maintence costs.
     The term Virgin Vinyl is used to describe a vinyl product that does not contain recycled products. Recycled products that may be imported into an extrusion plant may contain impurities or lower grade vinyl which can seriously affect the finished product's resilience, impact resistance and UV inhibition. Though this is preferrable to choosing a recycled PVC fencing option, Virgin Vinyl is often very thin in its composition and lacks the long term resilience needed to withstand the elements. Cladded Vinyl, on the otherhand, is "clad" with an extra layer of vinyl, which helps to protect the vinyl fence better. So the major difference between the two has to do with their thicknesses. The thicker "cladded" vinyl will withstand storms and damage of long term wear and tear from the elements much better than the Virgin Vinyl alternative.
     This key feature can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars in the long run when you look at the maintenence of your fence. Virgin Vinyl will wear down much faster and need replacing much sooner than a Cladded Vinyl fence will. However, when you look at the initial price difference your only talking about a few hundred dollars to upgrade the quality of the fence, when in the long term to replace a Virgin Vinyl fence would cost you another few thousands of dollars to replace. This difference is often overlooked by customers who are easily impressed by pictures of beautiful Virgin Vinyl fences, but don't realize the difference in quality of the fence thicknesses. Cladded Vinyl is often the better choice for a homeowner looking to purchase in the long run and can afford to spend a little extra for a superior quality Vinyl Fence.
