Composite fencing, made from a combination of natural fibers and recycled wood and bonded with recycled plastic, offers a low-maintenance, eco-friendly alternative to wood and vinyl fencing. Frame It All repurposes plastics that would otherwise end up in Iandfills and oceans, giving its customers durable, attractive fences. It's a win-win for everyone.
You might be wondering how our composite fencing holds up in snow, rain, wind and extreme heat. Here's a look at its weather-resistant properties.
- Resistance to moisture and rot. Unlike wood, composite fencing is designed to withstand moisture without warping, rotting or deteriorating. This makes it ideal for rainy or humid climates where traditional wood fences can quickly decay or develop mold. Composite materials are engineered with water-resistant properties, ensuring durability even in consistently damp conditions.
- Resistant to salt spray, termites and fungus. In coastal areas, saltwater spray can quickly damage wood fencing. Composite fencing stands up to salt water without degrading. Composite fencing is also resistant to termites and fungi, both of which can damage wood.
- Able to withstand high winds and impact. Composite fences are often built with reinforced materials that add strength and flexibility, making them resilient against strong winds and impact from debris. Unlike some traditional materials that might crack or bend, composite fencing can retain its structure and appearance in high-wind environments.
- UV- resistant for sun-intensive climates. Prolonged sun exposure can fade or damage many fencing materials, but composite fencing is treated with UV-resistant coatings to prevent discoloration and weakening. This allows it to maintain its color and structural integrity even in sunny, high-temperature regions.
- Expansion and contraction tolerance. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause materials like wood to expand and contract, leading to cracking or splintering. Composite fencing, however, is engineered to handle thermal expansion and contraction without damage, making it suitable for areas with hot summers and cold winters.
- Low maintenance, despite snow and ice. In snowy climates, ice buildup and freezing conditions can damage certain materials. Composite fencing is low-maintenance and designed to resist the effects of freezing temperatures, minimizing cracks and reducing the need for repairs. Unlike wood fencing, it does not require sealing or painting, so harsh winters won't lead to an increased maintenance burden.
Composite fencing is an all-weather option for your yard. Offering more than a 30-year lifespan, it'll still be standing when wood and vinyl fences have fallen into disrepair, need maintenance or need to be replaced. In fact, composite fencing lasts five times as long as the average wooden fence.
