Are the Shoreline bulkhead products currently mono or co-extruded?
Although our tooling is designed to do either, currently all of our vinyl bulkhead profiles are mono-extruded. Why? In this current economic downturn the highest quality vinyl seawall compound is available to us at very competitive prices. Therefore, rather than just put a thin outer layer of UV protective membrane on the seawall (as thin as 0.020 inch) we currently make the whole sheet out of high-quality UV protected vinyl. From a manufacturing and end user prospective, the optimal seawall will always be a mono extruded product. All manufacturers will tell you (if they are honest) that co-extrusion is a raw material cost containment process. The co-extrusion process enables a lower level quality (low cost) vinyl to be used for inside of the product and a small amount of high-quality UV stabilized (higher costing) vinyl for just the thin outer layer.
