All steel rain gutter guards need a protective coating for prolonged service life and better performance. Gutter Helmet of Cookeville® uses one of the leading steel coatings today known as Galvalume® because of its impressive qualities.
Why Is a Gutter Coating Important?
The coating helps maintain the function of your gutters. It slows down deterioration caused by rust and paint chipping, which is important given your gutters are constantly exposed to the elements.
You may have heard of galvanized steel, but there are many formulations available on the market when it comes to gutter coatings. One of the best is called Galvalume.
What Is Galvalume?
Manufactured in 1972, with over 140 million licensed products sold, Galvalume remains one of the strongest steel coatings. It is manufactured using a mix of aluminum and zinc through a modern hot dip process where steel is coated with molten zinc for protection against rust. Apart from its use on gutters and gutter covers, it can also be applied to siding, roofs and even unexposed automotive parts and furniture. There are two forms of the product: Galvalume and Galvalume Plus, the difference being the Plus has a thinner, clearer acrylic coating.
What Benefits Does It Provide?
It is highly resistant to rust, heat, corrosion, fire and scratches from hail storms or wind-driven rain. It performs well in all types of weather, from torrential downpours to severe winter storms. It is also nearly impervious to heat.
