Why uPVC for Zomerlust Estate?
Zomerlust's charm lies in its Cape Dutch heritage-whitewashed walls, elegant symmetry, and refined entrances. Timber gates matched the style but demanded constant upkeep.
By choosing uPVC, the estate now enjoys:
- Architectural authenticity - custom-crafted to mimic original timber gates
- Durability - no rot, rust, warping, or termite damage
- Cost-effectiveness - lifetime investment, no repainting or sealing
- Sustainability - non-toxic, lead-free, recyclable material

Value Fencing® gates are engineered to outperform conventional alternatives:
- Machine-Welded Mitered Corners - precise, reinforced construction
- Heavy-Duty Aluminum Vista Butt Hinges - tested for strength and smooth swing

This combination ensures decades of daily use without failure, even in Paarl's varied climate.
