Yes, the basic formula and manufacturing process are the same. The difference is that the vinyl formula has been specially enhanced to meet the demands of a lifetime fence. The key to a durable and beautiful vinyl fence is quality ingredients and the right recipe.

You talk about a vinyl formula. Isn’t it just plastic?

Generically vinyl is a plastic. The chemical name is polyvinyl chloride or PVC for short. The natural ingredients used to make the vinyl resin are combined with chemical additives to make it rigid and strong enough for fencing.

What makes Royal Crown Limited vinyl better?

Royal Crown Limited has perfected a formula to ensure its lasting quality. The quality of the ingredients and the proportions are important. Royal Crown Limited produces 100% of their products using the best UV protection and impact modifiers available.

What does monoextrude mean?

Vinyl is extruded. That means vinyl compound is pushed through dies to form a specific shaped profile. Monoextrusion means that the extrusion is a single solid layer. Most vinyl fence manufacturers coextrude which means that there is a thin colored capstock where all the best ingredients are placed over a thicker layer of lesser quality compound. If the thin protective capstock is damaged exposing the under layer, the vinyl could become brittle and breakdown.

So a thick wall on the profile is better?

Not necessarily. There are several heavy walled fence profiles on the market that contain low-grade fillers and are not a quality product. Wall thickness is only one element of quality. The vinyl formulation that gives the product strength, flexibility and protects it from the elements is the most important factor. Royal Crown Limited profiles have ample wall thickness without sacrificing the quality throughout the profile. Wouldn’t you rather invest in a vinyl fence that doesn’t skimp on the key ingredients?
