Why choose Vinyl over Aluminum?

Aluminum fencing simply isn’t as durable as vinyl. Aluminum fences are prone to kinking and bending, particularly when they come into contact with lawn mowers, shrubbery and tree limbs. And while aluminum fences, like vinyl, offer low maintenance, the style and color options for aluminum are very limited. If you’re looking for privacy, you’re not going to get it with an aluminum fence.

Bufftech® vinyl fencing is an excellent alternative to aluminum fencing. Beautiful, durable, and built to last, a Bufftech fence is designed to provide years of worry-free enjoyment. Bufftech leads the industry in styles, colors and textures, giving you unlimited options for fence design.

Take a closer look at why a Bufftech vinyl fence is a smarter investment than aluminum fencing.

Virtually maintenance free

A Bufftech vinyl fence requires less maintenance than an aluminum fence. Vinyl won’t rust, chip, peel, corrode or blister. It never needs sealing or painting. All it needs is an occasional washing with a garden hose to keep it looking its best.

Innovative styles, colors and textures

Bufftech leads the vinyl fence industry with the widest array of styles, colors and textures. Our CertaGrain® and Select Cedar authentic woodgrain textures recreate the look of natural wood fencing, while our CertaStucco™ fence offers an innovative alternative to traditional stucco walls. The Bufftech color palette includes 9 solid colors and 4 blended colors.

Consistent color and fade protection

Bufftech is the only vinyl fence manufacturer to offer ColorLast™ dark color fade protection, an acrylic formulation that provides superior protection from the harsh rays of the sun.

Greater strength and flexibility

Bufftech vinyl fence is stronger and more flexible than aluminum fencing, allowing it to absorb the impact from everyday run-ins with lawn mowers and tree limbs.

Steel reinforced railings

Bufftech vinyl fence products feature a steel reinforced bottom rail for a stronger, more rigid fence, which reduces the chances of sagging or bowing.

Routed rails and fence posts

Bufftech vinyl fence systems feature precision-routed rails for safe, secure picket attachment and easy assembly. Bufftech’s routed fence posts provide a secure connection that allows for thermal expansion season after season.

Concealed fasteners

All Bufftech vinyl fence systems feature concealed fasteners for a sleek, clean finish. Aluminum fencing is installed with unsightly screws, which, when exposed to the elements, will weather and compromise the safety and security of the fence.

Building code compliant

Bufftech vinyl fence is tested to the highest standards for performance. The Bufftech line includes styles approved for use around swimming pools and in high wind conditions (Miami-Dade County approved NOA#06-1019.01, expires 3-13-2013).

Lifetime limited warranty protection

Bufftech vinyl fence products are backed by an outstanding lifetime limited transferable warranty, which includes our exclusive SureStart™ protection. SureStart covers warranted repair and replacement costs – including labor – for five years after installation.

100 years of quality products, made in the U.S.A.

Bufftech vinyl fence is proudly made in the U.S.A. by CertainTeed Corporation, a trusted name in building products for more than a century. Since 1904, CertainTeed has earned a reputation among homeowners and building professionals alike as a respected manufacturer of highquality building materials.

A better value over time

While a vinyl fence may cost slightly more initially, vinyl will end up costing less than aluminum over the life of the fence.

Cost includes fence price averaged over 20 years plus maintenance and repair costs. Cost is expressed as a percentage.

How does aluminum stack up?

Bufftech premium vinyl fence provides performance features that far surpass aluminum. Before choosing a fence, compare the features most important to you with what an  aluminum fence offers.
