Competitor product – bulging out and sagging!

CUTTING CORNERS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR US!

Why our premium vinyl fence sells itself…because not all PVC fence is the same!

BENEFITS OF GOING WITH OUR QUALITY PRODUCTS:

• Aluminum I-BEAM insert in the bottom rail for strength and durability (also available in mid and top rails). INSIST on this; otherwise, you will have a sagging fence over time and will not know the I-BEAM insert is missing, until it is too late.
• Aluminum gate post insert is used under the gate sleeve to hang your gate.
• Internal reinforcements for added stability and strength, Picket Lock System features hook and lock connecting method, rather than standard tongue and groove.
• More internal ribs than competitor’s panel for added stability and strength.
• Top Rail Ties (TRT’s) eliminates post failures at the routed holes from incorrect stressing and replaces rail notching and keeper screws. If TRT’s are not used, screwing into the rail only will compromise your rail so INSIST on TRT’s being used.
• Post Levelling Collars (PLC’s) allows you to install your steel pipe without using concrete for a clean, damage-free installation, without the need of an auger or piece of equipment driving in. The PLC’s assist in leveling the sleeves for a perfectly straight fence. Made to withstand our Canadian climates.
• Virgin, non-recycled vinyl is used because recycled polymers can cause the fence to break down, become brittle, yellow, and shorten the life of the fence.
• Essential additives like UV inhibitors, impact modifiers and non-chalking titanium dioxide are used in our materials. These add to the cost of manufacturing; however, to provide a cheaper product, some manufacturers use less, or eliminate the use of additives all together, at unknowledgeable customers’ expense. You may save initially but will pay big time in the end when your vinyl fence deteriorates sooner rather than later.
• Our supplier, Direct Fencing Supply (https://vinylfencecanada.ca/) is a Canadian company and has designed our products for Canada and its weather.
• Our supplier is the first in the industry with the Colour Lock Technology and make it standard in ALL our colours for brighter, longer lasting materials.

Vinyl planks are durable and quite hygienic when used for flooring. They are also attractive and could be used in commercial, residential, and industrial premises. Laying them is easy, and they could be adapted to spatial conditions. But to do this, you will need to cut the vinyl plank flooring around the corners.  It helps to lay them in corners.

To cut the vinyl plank flooring corners, you need to master a special technique. It would also help if you had appropriate tools such as a Stanley Pocket distance measure, a T square, and a chalk line.  You also need some measuring skills. This post explains how to cut vinyl plunk and how to stagger vinyl plank flooring.

Procedure

You will need to measure the area you want to be covered and determine the corners’ shape.  Find the center of the wall and draw lines using a chalk line tool. If an expansion gap is required, make the allowance before you start cutting the planks.

You can cut corners using cutters or a jigsaw.  A jigsaw will give you better results, especially at the corners. Besides, it is easier to use a jigsaw than any other cutter. Firstly, you will need to mark the angles. You may also need to use a jigsaw for corners and a cross-cut saw for straight lines. The jigsaw should be used to cut corners or any other parts that are not straight.

 You will also need to use a T-square to mark the areas that need to be cut. The T-square will also help you to cut the plank evenly. To cut corners, you will need to start by making a shallow cut or scratch the material to some extent. Bent it a little bit to cut the edge faster. 

Insert the jigsaw into the narrow incision and cut the vinyl plank along the market curve. It may require that you break the outer parts of the plank as you cut in some cases. It helps to keep the curves smooth. But even when the cut is not smooth, you can still make them smooth by reworking and cleaning the edges using a cutter knife.   You may also use a carpet knife to make the edges smooth. Also, it ensures that you don’t damage the groove layer.

Before you cut the vinyl, it is vital to make the environment clean and safe.It reduces injuries and allows you to work like a professional.  Also, you need to wear gloves to avoid injuring your hands. Ensure the knife or saw you plan to use is sharp.  Besides, you will need pliers to help you cut it smoothly.

Ensure the vinyl is stable before you start cutting corners. You may use a board to try to stabilize it. If you are using a knife, it should be held straight. It ensures you have enough space to move the knife and make a cut.

Once you finish cutting the edges, it may be necessary to check it it fits well in the targeted areas. If it does not, use the pliers to remove any unwanted parts.  Lastly, you may file the edges to make them smooth.
