Sustainable and eco-friendly home improvement and building products are the fastest growing segment of the marketplace in California, representing 25-30% of consumer goods sold in the past year with increases anticipated for the future. It makes sense that in a place like San Jose, where homeowners are willing to invest in products they believe in, the future of eco-friendly building materials is only expanding. It helps that modern eco-friendly home products represent great long-term value as well as environmental stewardship. Harkening back to how stuff “used to be made”, many modern sustainable and eco-friendly products represent longevity and durability – an alternative to “disposable” goods. That’s certainly the case when it comes to sustainable fencing from the fence company San Jose homeowners turn to first – Superior Fence & Rail.

Eco-Friendly In Silicon Valley

There’s more to being eco-friendly than just looking for products with “green” in the name. There are a lot of products that claim to be eco-friendly, however, and it can be difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are greenwashed. For home improvement products, like fences, look for an emphasis on sustainability, closed-loop product life cycles, and low-toxicity materials, and always choose a fence company San Jose homeowners rely on for quality and customer satisfaction.

Sustainable and Durable

The word “sustainability” gets thrown around constantly, and sometimes it’s hard to know what it means! When it comes to sustainable building materials, there are two key factors to look at: first is incorporating recycled materials into the final product. A product that’s designed to use high quantities of post-industrial or post-consumer recycled material is very sustainable. Secondly, look for products that are durable and will have a long lifespan or can be efficiently repaired. A product you only have to buy once is extremely sustainable, and saves you money. Check out these examples of sustainable fences with classic style:

• Trex Composite Fencing does it all – made from 95% recycled material and guaranteed to never rot or fall to insect damage. Trex fencing comes with incredible manufacturer’s warranties, but the product is so durable that they’re the last thing you’ll need!
• Superior’s vinyl fence, is made from a heavier stock than your standard big box store fence, and all our vinyl fences are precision routed – no bolted on metal hardware that will rust and break. These vinyl fences are seriously tough, and with a little care will last 20-30 years. Thanks to SolarShield UV protection and patented wind-protections, they’ll look great, too, for years to come!

Closed Loop Efficiency

One of the downfalls of many products made from recycled goods is that they have limited re-use or recycling options once they’ve reached the end of their lifespan. Other products close the loop on recyclability, and are able to be re-processed over and over. Metal fences are a prime example of closed loop recyclability.

• Steel is one of the most recycled materials globally, and steel fences can be expected to contain on average 70%-90% recycled content blended with virgin alloy without compromising strength or reliability. Steel fences have a classic look that work great in the front yard or backyard – especially around a pool deck!
• Aluminum fences are also part of a closed loop eco system, and recycled aluminum is a perennial hot commodity on the market due to the expense and environmental impact of mining and smelting virgin aluminum. Every ton of aluminum that’s recycled is a ton that doesn’t need to be mined! Besides having great looks and incredible durability, Superior Fence & Rail’s aluminum fences are the most customizable fence type in our lineup. If you can dream it up, our fabricators can help you design it!

Naturally Toxin-Free

Wooden fences are always best-sellers, but many families look for alternatives to pressure-treated lumber as part of a chemical-free approach to yard care. Superior is one of the fence contractors San Jose homeowners turn to for toxin-free alternatives to pressure-treated lumber.

• Containing naturally insect-repellent cedar oils, cedar fencing is one of the most popular alternatives to pressure treated wood. Stain or paint it just like pine, or leave it natural for that classic cedar patina.
• Redwood is another lumber that has been prized for centuries for its toughness and durability. Did you know that water tanks across the country were made from redwood stakes? It’s that rot resistant! Check with your local sales expert for availability of this beautiful softwood fence.
