Revolutionary New Low Maintenance Eon® Fencing
Eon Introduces Fencing that Captures the Natural Beauty of Premium Wood
TORONTO, Jan. 10 -- In the search for the ultimate low maintenance dream backyard, consumers are looking for a beautiful and easy-to-install fencing solution. Now thanks to CPI Plastics Group Ltd. (CPI), maker of Eon(R), homeowners in the U.S. and Canada can have exactly what they are looking for in fencing products: easy-to-install wood-like fencing that does not require the labor-intensive annual painting, staining and upkeep required of natural wood.
Eon, a leading brand of alternative decking, fencing, and railing, as well as spa cladding and accessories, introduces a new, innovative line of fencing products that capture the beauty and feel of natural wood, and offers a virtually maintenance-free alternative to wood and a beautiful alternative to vinyl.
Although vinyl fencing products have gained significant share in the marketplace, averaging nearly 20 percent growth per year, they don't meet consumers' preference for wood-like appearance. Inspired by the beauty of wood, Eon fencing captures the look and feel of natural wood without rotting, splitting or flaking. Eon represents the only maintenance-free wood alternative offering a collection of outdoor living products including decking, railing, fencing, privacy screens, spa cladding and accessories.
Eon fencing products are available in two styles: privacy fencing and privacy fencing with lattice across the top. Eon fencing panels are available in both 6'x6' and 6'x8' sizes. All Eon fencing styles are available in two rich wood colors, cedar and redwood and are simple to install.
Natural Beauty that Lasts -- Backed by a 25-Year Warranty
Eon fencing combines the natural beauty of premium wood with unprecedented durability. Unlike competing composite technologies, Eon does not contain organic materials, which are vulnerable to the elements. Eon fencing resists fading and weathering better than wood or composites, and will stand the test of time with no rotting, splitting or flaking. It is virtually resistant to heat, UV rays, insects, wet weather and mold. Like all Eon products, Eon fencing never requires staining or painting.
In addition, Eon is the only alternative fencing product that is specially designed to match Eon's full line decks and spas. With complementary colors and truly thoughtful design, consumers and contractors alike can be assured that all Eon products will work in harmony to create an elegant, seamless look for any outdoor area.
Thoughtful Design for Contractors and D-I-Y-ers Alike
Eon fencing boasts premium design, with hidden hinges and a metal reinforcement channel. It is easy to assemble and install; just standard tools are required with no complex pieces to fit together. In fact, many contractors find Eon easier to install than wood or vinyl fence packages.
"Eon fencing products offer superior value when compared to the long term cost of maintaining a wood fence. Eon's quality, durability and natural wood-like beauty are unparalleled in the category," said Cliff Hatch, Director of Marketing, CPI Plastics Group Ltd. "For our installers, Eon fencing is an easy-to-install product that is very much in demand with homeowners who want maintenance-free outdoor products that look and feel like premium wood -- at a reasonable price point."
Availability
All Eon fencing comes with a 25-year limited warranty. The 6'x 6' and the 6'x 8' privacy fences are available in two styles and two colors. MSRP for all products ranges from $120 - $200 depending on design and size. Attractively designed gates, post sleeves and caps are also available and sold separately.
Eon fencing will be available January 2006 at home centers and independent dealers across North America, as well as specialty fence dealers.
