As a Roswell, GA, homeowner, you'll be happy to know that this beautiful, scenic city has a total crime rate 40% lower than the U.S. average, per AreaVibes. For instance, fewer property crimes occur here than in Georgia and the United States.
Still, Roswell isn't 100% immune to property crimes like burglary and break-ins. For this reason, you should consider investing in durable fencing options that can help boost your home's security.
High-quality, correctly installed vinyl fencing is one such option.
In this guide, our team of experts at Chamblee Fence Company will discuss the top benefits of vinyl fencing and why it's an excellent choice for your Roswell home.
To enhance your home's privacy and security, consider investing in a privacy vinyl fence at least six feet tall. For more style and flair, you may want to add a decorative element, such as a latticed section at the top.
Regardless of your design preferences, the fence company you choose should be able to build your fence to your standards. If you choose us, Chamblee Fence Company, rest assured that's what we'll do while ensuring your gate meets all applicable laws set by the Unified Development Code of the City of Roswell, GA. We can also help you make your gate more secure by designing it with a gate and access control system.
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is one of the best and most durable vinyl fencing materials because it can last many decades.
After all, PVC is a type of vinyl modified with additives. Thanks to these fortifying additions, it offers a higher tensile strength, is more durable, and is better at resisting weather and ultraviolet (UV degradation). It's also resistant to abrasion and moisture.
For example, Chamblee Fence's vinyl fences use rigid PVC material with strength-boosting impact modifiers. The PVC also contains titanium dioxide pigment, making it resistant to UV radiation. So, if you choose us to install your fence, you can rest assured it will be strong, durable, long-lasting, and won't fade or discolor for many years.
One of the primary factors when choosing a fence material is its environmental resistance, considering it'll be outdoors at the mercy of the elements. So, when debating vinyl vs. wood fencing, the clear winner is vinyl, as it resists moisture better than wood.
So, with a vinyl fence, you no longer have to worry about moisture-induced decay. By contrast, it's a common issue with wood fencing, although you can mitigate this with proper staining materials and practices. Still, staining is an extra job and expense that you may not want to worry about, and if so, then vinyl may be a better choice for you.
Vinyl is so versatile that it has found many uses in healthcare (e.g., blood bags), household items (e.g., raincoats and shower curtains), and building and construction. According to ChemicalSafetyFacts.org, the building and construction sector accounts for about three-quarters of all vinyl use.
Vinyl's versatility is primarily due to its flexibility. Because it's flexible, manufacturers can easily mold it into their desired shapes and patterns. For the same reason, you can have a customized vinyl fence installation.
Whether you want a high, solid fence for improved security or embellish it with ornate designs, vinyl can provide all that and more. Just ensure you also choose your fence provider carefully and be sure they have the experience, skills, and facilities to handle your customized design preferences.
According to the University of Georgia, the world has almost a million named insect species, although entomologists believe there could be at least 2.5 to 5 million. Many of these creatures call Georgia home. Unfortunately, some are also pests that love to feed on wood.
Wooden fences are undoubtedly appealing, with their rustic, homely allure. However, wood is wood to many insects, and for critters like termites, wood-boring beetles, and carpenter ants, a beautiful wooden fence can be a hearty feast.
To mitigate such risks, reputable fence builders implement proper staining and sealing methods. Still, after a few years, you'd need to reapply sealants and stains to keep your wooden fence in top condition.
If you don't want to deal with all that extra work, high-quality vinyl fencing may be the alternative you're looking for. Because it's not food material, it doesn't attract the same pesky pests as wooden fences.
If you originally wanted a wooden fence because of its innate attractiveness, we have great news: you can have an expert design your vinyl fence to look like wood. Again, this is possible thanks to vinyl's versatility and flexibility.
So, with vinyl, you can enjoy the same appeal of a wooden-looking fence without worrying about wood's high-maintenance aspects. It's so easy to maintain that you just need to use regular (but gentle!) household detergent and hose it down with plain water.
The upfront cost of vinyl fence installation is usually higher than that of wood fences. However, over time, the costs associated with maintaining wood fencing can pile up, making its long-term cost higher than vinyl. As mentioned above, you'd have to seal and stain wooden fences every few years.
For those reasons, vinyl fencing, being virtually maintenance-free, is often more cost-effective in the long run. So, if you're looking for dependable fence material to help improve your home's aesthetics, privacy, and security without breaking the bank, consider vinyl.
From offering privacy and security to being durable, long-lasting, cost-effective, and aesthetic, these are just some of the primary benefits of vinyl fencing. While it may cost you a bit more than a traditional wood fence, its price is worth it if you consider all its perks and pros.
