Composite Fence Panels: A Contemporary Addition

A majority of fences are made from hard or soft woods, although recently, there has been a surge in the popularity of composite fence panels due to its contemporary style, which is a relatively new building material that is made from a mixture of plastic and real wood. Composite fence panels are often made from recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option. The wood composition gives it a beautifully authentic look, while the plastic allows the fencing to last much longer than wholly organic materials. Using composite fencing means your fence will last far longer than the original wooden versions, resulting in fewer replacements and therefore fewer trees are cut down to replace them.

There are many attributes to composite fence panels;

  • Deflects noise pollution – allowing you to enjoy the tranquillity of your garden without outside noise pollution seeping in.
  • Heavy duty – They have reinforced vertical slats ensuring they are gale force proof, resulting in no more cracked or blown out panels.
  • Maintenance free – No more painting and staining, as composite panels don’t fade like traditional fencing.
  • Superior durability – When compared to wood, composite fence panels don’t rot or splinter which is often the case in traditional wooden fencing.
  • Design – Our composite fence panels are designed to fit within your existing structure. No fixings are required as the composite fence panel fits within traditional concrete posts.
  • Cost effective – No need to buy replacement wooden panels after bad winters, as composite fence panels are excellent at withstanding harsh conditions.
  • Easy to assemble – Our composite fencing panels come ready made, so all you need to do is slot them between the original concrete posts.

Our composite fence panels come in a range of sizes and are suitable for fitting in-between existing concrete posts. They are dual sided meaning you could even split the cost with your neighbours so that you can both enjoy the aesthetic qualities of the fencing. We also offer a variety of colours to complement our composite decking collection, including Natural, Walnut and Graphite.

Polyester, Plastisol and Anti-Condensation Coatings: What’s the difference?

Here at eRoofs we currently stock a variety of coatings for our roofing sheets, including Polyester, Plastisol, and Anti-Condensation. But, what’s the difference? Let’s find out…

Polyester
High Tensile Polyester felt is a strong, durable and economical method of waterproofing flat and shallow pitched roofing. It consists of a three layer built up system, including a top layer of green or brown mineral coloured felt and has a life expectancy of around twenty years.

Polyester sheets are made with TATA steel and are ideal for a variety of applications from the construction of basic storage or utility shelters through to bespoke commercial buildings or warehouses. High-quality manufacturing and a broad range of sheet sizes ensure great value for money and long-life in demanding seasonal environments.

The steel substrate has a hot dipped galvanised coating of 275g per square metre and is primed and coated with 25 microns of high quality Polyester enamel paint. The reverse/internal surface is galvanised and coated with an alkali grey wash coat which ensures its longevity of life and has a moderate resistance to scratching.

polyester sheets

Our Polyester sheets start at just £21.15 each and are available in Goosewing Grey, Juniper Green, Slate Blue and Vandyke Brown.

Plastisol
Plastisol sheets are designed to have a tough coating, giving the TATA steel sheets a high degree of protection against corrosion. They can be used for various applications, from garage roofs, industrial buildings and garden sheds.

plastisol brown

The Plastisol applied to the sheets consists of Polyvinyl Chloride based Thermoplastic Resins with short molecular chains which gives the sheets excellent resistance to UV. To produce high-quality pre-coated roof sheets, a system of multi-layer coatings is applied to zinc coated high tensile steel strips and then oven cured to ensure maximum adhesion. This then provides the sheet with a high corrosion resistance and climatic protection as well as being resistant to abrasion.

With Plastisol sheets, it is imperative that you double check your measurements as we cut them to your requirements.

Our Plastisol Sheets start at £40.50 each and are available in Merlin Grey, Goosewing Grey, Olive Green and Vandyke Brown.

Anti-Condensation
This roofing coating is manufactured by bonding a non-woven polyester membrane to the reverse side of the sheet. The membrane then works by absorbing the formed droplets and retains them until the temperature rises, leaving the moisture to then dissipate naturally. These sheets also have improved noise reduction from rainfall due to their cushioning effect.

Benefits of Anti-Condensation coated roof sheets are that they are easy to clean, by simply using a hose or pressure washer, their durability compared to non-coated sheets and the fact that in the long run due to these other benefits they are more cost-effective as you will not have to continuously replace them.

As with Plastisol sheets, we do recommend that you carefully check your measurements as the sheets are cut to your specifications.

Our Anti-Condensation Sheets start at £46.02 each and are available in Goosewing Grey, Merlin Grey, Olive Green and Vandyke Brown.

To keep your Polyester, Plastisol or Anti-Condensation coated roofing sheets secure and watertight, we recommend using Tech Bolts, which are ideal for fastening steel sheets down to timber and steel. These stainless bolts are excellent quality and are supplied with a hexagon head which enables fast and reliable installation time after time for exterior construction.

To give your roof the full finish it deserves, be sure to add our Tech Bolt Caps, which conceal the Tech Bolt heads. They are available in matching colours of Goosewing Grey, Juniper Green and Vandyke Brown and ensure a fabulous, professional finish.
