What makes vinyl coated wire mesh and fence so desirable?
Welded and woven wire meshes that are vinyl coated will last a long time. This is especially true for fences with a thick coating of PVC bonded to the wire by a heat process. Though more expensive initially, the extended lifetime and the reduced hassle and frequency of replacement and repair of these meshes can make them more cost effective in the long run. Good quality vinyl coated products have the following characteristics:
- The vinyl is tough, flexible and abrasion resistant.
- The coating will not crack when the wire is bent.
- It retains these qualities across a wide temperature range.
- If the PVC has UV inhibitors, the coating will resist degradation from sunlight.
- The vinyl gives meshes and fences superior resistance to weathering and chemical exposure.
- There are no sharp or rough edges to cut people or animals.
- Vinyl coated wire fences are attractive and easy on the eyes.
- Black color is virtually invisible when installed - your fence won't block your view.
