Durable

Building and construction

Because of its durability and versatility, vinyl has found use in numerous building applications. In fact, approximately three-fourths of all PVC goes to these applications. Not only is vinyl long-lasting, it’s resistant to rot and corrosion, leaks and breaks.

Affordability

PVC products provide durability, energy efficiency and other benefits at an affordable price.

• Vinyl products annually save North American consumers an estimated $20 billion in direct/indirect costs compared to using competing materials

Low-maintenance

For many vinyl products, durability also means low-maintenance—a benefit that reduces material usage and labor.

• PVC pipes do not rust or corrode and break infrequently
• Vinyl building products like siding and fencing don’t require the use of paint, stain, or harsh cleansers as many wood and fiber cement products do on a regular basis
