Composite fence contractors Cambridge ON
If you're looking for the creme de la creme of fencing materials, look no further than composite fencing. Made out of recycled plastic and wood materials, the features far outweigh the cons, which in this case, might be a singular con. Composite is very pricey compared to your standard wood fencing, even moreso than vinyl. What you pay upfront in terms of the material and labour, however, will reap rewards down the line.
Extreme durability and longevity, negligible propensity to rot, virtually little to no maintenance requirement, resistance to warpage (depending on the brand and model), eco-consciousness, gorgeous aesthetics - these are all features of composite fencing. Some popular manufacturers include Trex, Simtek, Fiberon and TimberTech. Trex fencing, for example, boasts 96% recycled wood and plastic. If you're conscious about sustainability, Trex fencing is a great option for eco-conscious building and renovation materials. There is no such thing as a perfect material, so what challenge can you expect with composite fencing? The main disadvantage is in line with what you would see with vinyl or PVC fencing - its tendancy to warp in extreme weather conditions. Certain brands, however, try to address this issue, including Trex. They've tested their fences in 200km/h winds, and have shown that their product can withstand these conditions. Other brands have their own claims regarding resistance to warpage along with their own testing results. |
