April, 2009 -- With the launch of Bufftech(R) Galveston with CertaGrain(R), CertainTeed is bringing more color options and a more natural design to its line of vinyl privacy fences.
Using an innovative texturing process, Galveston with CertaGrain features an authentic wood-like appearance in an easy-to-maintain vinyl design. The product is now available in Natural Clay and Sierra Blend -- two colors that complement the natural surroundings of a home or building. Available in 7- and 8-foot heights, Galveston with CertaGrain is an ideal solution for enhancing the privacy of commercial, multi-family or residential buildings.
As part of the Galveston product line, the new colors and texture join CertainTeed's existing colors of White and Tan, which are offered in a smooth finish.
