Why Catalyst Fence Products Stand Out
Catalyst is not just another fence brand. Every product is engineered with exclusive, patented technologies that you will not find anywhere else:
SolarGuard™ Fade Resistance — Advanced fade-resistant technology built into every Catalyst vinyl, aluminum, and steel fence. SolarGuard protects against color degradation so your fence stays bold and vibrant year after year, even through New Jersey’s harsh summers and salty coastal air.
StayStraight™ Technology — Ordinary vinyl fences can sag or bow over time. Catalyst’s patented StayStraight material composition delivers exceptional structural durability in all weather conditions, keeping your fence standing tall through heavy snow, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles.
NoVis™ Hidden Fastener System — No unsightly screws or brackets on the neighbor’s side. The NoVis system locks fence panels together quickly and cleanly with industry-leading rackability, creating a picture-perfect appearance on both level and sloping terrains — no power tools required.
GlideLock™ Privacy System — Gaps between boards ruin the look and purpose of a privacy fence. Catalyst’s patented GlideLock system locks vinyl infill boards in place for gap-free, worry-free privacy that stays tight over time.
These innovations are why professional installers across the country choose Catalyst, and why we are proud to offer them as our premium fence line at Modern Fence.
Catalyst Vinyl and Molded Fences
Vinyl fencing is the most popular choice for New Jersey homeowners who want lasting beauty without the maintenance headaches of wood. Catalyst takes vinyl to the next level with proprietary technologies that solve the most common problems with traditional vinyl fences.
Catalyst vinyl fences are available in a wide range of styles to match any property:
Privacy fences — Full-panel designs with GlideLock technology for complete, gap-free seclusion. Ideal for backyards, pool enclosures, and family spaces.
Semi-private fences — Spaced-board designs that balance airflow and visibility with partial screening. Perfect for side yards and garden borders.
Picket fences — Classic American style in low-maintenance vinyl. Available in traditional pointed-top and contemporary flat-top profiles.
Ranch rail fences — Open, agricultural-inspired designs for larger properties, horse farms, and decorative perimeters.
For homeowners who love the look of wood but hate the upkeep, Catalyst offers TimberGrain™ texture — a realistic woodgrain finish that feels like natural wood with zero splinters, rot, cracking, staining, or peeling. Available in rich earth tones that complement any home exterior.
Every Catalyst vinyl fence comes standard with SolarGuard fade protection and is backed by a transferable limited lifetime warranty.
Catalyst Aluminum Fences
Aluminum fencing from Catalyst combines the elegant look of traditional wrought iron with modern rustproof performance. Unlike iron, aluminum will never rust, corrode, or require repainting — making it the ideal choice for pool enclosures, coastal properties, and decorative borders across New Jersey.
Catalyst aluminum fences feature premium powder coating applied through a patented in-house process where every individual component is coated before assembly. This means complete, edge-to-edge coverage with no exposed metal — a level of quality that competitors simply cannot match.
Available in two panel construction styles:
Screwed fixed rail — Highly customizable with nearly infinite variations. Mix and match components from top to bottom to create the perfect combination of styles, features, colors, and grades.
Screwless rackable panels — Streamlined looks with the NoVis hidden fastener system for a clean, neighbor-friendly appearance that hugs sloping terrains without gaps or awkward cuts.
Catalyst offers residential and commercial aluminum grades, with every grade suitable for commercial applications. For projects that need additional strength or security, enhanced and premium commercial grades are available with features like security picket tops.
Catalyst Steel Fences
For maximum strength and security, Catalyst steel fencing delivers unmatched protection and rugged performance. Steel is the strongest fencing material available and is engineered to resist impacts, extreme weather, and forced entry attempts.
Catalyst also offers SimTek® molded fence panels — innovative steel-reinforced polyethylene panels that look and feel like real stone or wood but install quickly and resist graffiti, high winds, and noise. These commercial-quality panels create an attractive barrier that reduces sound transmission and buffers wind, making them popular for properties near highways, commercial zones, and high-traffic areas.
SimTek panels feature an easy-clean surface that releases grit and graffiti with a high-pressure washer — a game-changer for commercial properties and HOA communities.
Catalyst vs. Other Fence Brands
What sets Catalyst apart from generic fence products at big-box stores? Here is a quick comparison:
| Feature | Catalyst | Generic Brands |
|---|---|---|
| Fade Protection | SolarGuard™ standard on all products | Often none or basic UV coating |
| Anti-Sag Technology | StayStraight™ patented system | None — sagging common after 5-7 years |
| Hidden Fasteners | NoVis™ system standard | Visible screws and brackets |
| Privacy Gap Prevention | GlideLock™ patented lock | Boards shift and create gaps over time |
| Warranty | Transferable limited lifetime | Typically 10–20 years, non-transferable |
| Manufacturing | Made in USA, in-house quality control | Often imported, inconsistent quality |
| Powder Coating (Aluminum) | Individual component coating before assembly | Post-assembly coating leaves exposed edges |
