When choosing Euro Panel Fence for your project or wholesale business, understanding the difference between PVC coated and galvanized finishes is critical. Both offer corrosion resistance and durability, but they serve different purposes and are suited for different environments.
In this article, we’ll break down the key differences between PVC coated and galvanized Euro fences to help you make the right decision based on your application, budget, and performance needs.
Galvanized Euro Fence is made by welding low-carbon steel wires and then applying a zinc coating on the surface. This zinc layer helps protect the metal from rust and corrosion, especially in outdoor environments.
There are two types of galvanization:
Pre-galvanized (electro-galvanized): Wire is galvanized before welding. More affordable but provides thinner zinc coating.
Hot-dip galvanized: Entire panel is dipped in molten zinc after welding. Offers stronger corrosion resistance and is better for harsh conditions.
Use Cases:
Dry or semi-dry environments
Temporary fencing
Industrial sites with low humidity
Projects with limited budgets
PVC coated Euro Fence starts with a galvanized wire core and is then coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This coating adds a second layer of protection and improves the fence’s appearance.
PVC coating is available in colors such as green (most common), black, white, or gray, making it more attractive for landscape integration.
Use Cases:
Residential and garden fencing
Parks, playgrounds, and schools
Humid or coastal areas
Projects requiring decorative finishes
Galvanized: Resists rust but may wear faster in high-moisture environments.
PVC Coated: Offers better long-term protection due to the dual-layer (zinc + PVC) barrier.
Galvanized: Metallic silver finish, industrial look.
PVC Coated: Smooth, colored surface, more visually appealing.
Galvanized: Adequate for general use, especially with hot-dip.
PVC Coated: More resistant to UV, moisture, and chemicals, making it last longer in harsh outdoor settings.
Galvanized: Typically lower cost.
PVC Coated: Slightly higher price but offers better long-term value in challenging environments.
Galvanized: Basic security or temporary fencing.
PVC Coated: Residential, decorative, or permanent fencing in outdoor settings.
Choose Galvanized Euro Fence if your project is in a dry or moderate environment, you’re working with a limited budget, or the fencing is temporary or industrial.
Choose PVC Coated Euro Fence if you need a long-lasting, attractive, and weather-resistant fence, especially for residential, park, or coastal applications.
If your project is in a highly corrosive environment (e.g., coastal regions), or you require a fence that blends well with landscaping, PVC coating is the more reliable option.
