What’s the difference between Privacy Slats that are imported and Privacy Slats that are made in the USA?
While Privacy Slats are a fantastic way to ensure privacy and security for all kinds of properties, it’s important to understand where you are buying them from as it can directly impact the way that your slats look over time. While there are of course going to be some stylistic differences between US made privacy slats and imported ones, the real key difference is UV Protection.
What is UV Protection?
UV protection does is two key things: Helps prevent color from fading and help the plastic last longer. For instance, our PDS slat fencing has UV modifiers that help resist direct sunlight from effecting the plastic too much and having it be damaged over time. Think of it like sunscreen for your fence!
What makes USA made Privacy Slats different?
Privacy Slat fences are specifically made in the US and UV protection can be found on most Privacy Slats manufactured in the states such as the ones we offer from PDS. Because of this, USA made slat fencing tends to last longer in terms of color, strength, and overall aesthetics. While this can be slightly more in terms of cost, the ROI on your fencing with never having to replace or maintain it significantly outweighs that cost.
While imported privacy slat fences can be used in the same way as US made ones, they really are only going to be a short-term option as they will fade significantly more and weather more easily. It’s best to understand your needs before purchasing a Privacy Slat fence so that you find the best solution for you. Look through our wide selection to help find your best option!
