Why is the vinyl wall topper better than a wooden one?
The wall topper is a traditional fence style that is still much-loved by several property owners. Properties that already have an existing stone wall or a block, can easily add the wall toppers instead of rebuilding the wall footings. However, although wooden wall toppers are quite common and pleasing to the eye, there has been a new trend that’s most favored. It’s the vinyl wall topper from Duramax. Vinyl wall toppers have become a trend and surpassed in popularity because of a few reasons. Read on to know why vinyl wall toppers are the ideal option for your property.
Vinyl is weather-resistant, unlike wood
Vinyl wall toppers are weather-resistant due to the DuraResin vinyl formulation used for manufacturing high-quality fences. The DuraResin formulation uses UV inhibitors with over 12 parts of Titanium Dioxide to get you the highest-rated UV stability and weather-resistant wall toppers and fences. As a result, the vinyl wall toppers and fences can withstand the harsh rays and scorching heat from the sun for the longest period. The wall toppers made from vinyl also do not wrap in excess heat or develop cracks when subjected to cold temperatures. Duramax fences have passed the wind test of 105mph and therefore, wall toppers can withstand stormy weather and heavy rainfall without getting ravaged. However, wooden wall toppers are not that sturdy and can get easily damaged due to harsh weather conditions. A good quality wooden fence or wall topper would only survive for a few years, whereas the vinyl one can last for more than ten years without repairs or replacements.
The vinyl material has a greater durability quotient than wooden wall toppers. The wooden wall toppers can easily attract termites and rot when exposed to moisture. The maintenance of wooden wall toppers can drive a hole in your pocket as the upkeep is difficult. Wooden fences and wall toppers fade easily and need constant repainting. Wooden fences can easily start looking dull and drab due to various reasons. However, the vinyl wall topper made with thicker vinyl sheets is extremely strong and can last for ages without rotting, degrading, or attracting termites. The non-toxic, chemical-resistant and lead-free vinyl material is fire-resistant and prevents the spread of fire to a large extent. Last and the most important point, wooden wall toppers break easily, leaving behind sharp edges that can be detrimental to animals and children. Vinyl made from plastic material is strong and flexible, ensuring that they don’t break easily. Even if vinyl breaks, they don’t have sharp edges and are usually more pet-friendly than wood.
If you are still in awe of the wooden wall toppers? Then why not get the Duragrain one. The wood-grained material looks and feels like real wood. However, it’s not wood in real life and has the cellular structure of vinyl. The cellular configuration ensures that the Duragrain material is as durable and maintenance-free as vinyl. Therefore, get them installed in your yard for the traditional feel.
