Material Type | Residential/commercial buildings | Industry Standard: PVC (ASTM D2464) ▲ Our Base: Galvanized Steel (ASTM A153) ▲ Our Advanced: Aluminum (ASTM B209) | PVC: Lightweight, low cost; Steel/Aluminum: Durable, corrosion-resistant (ASTM A153: 20+ years rust resistance) | PVC: Brittle in cold; Steel: Heavier; Aluminum: Higher cost |
Gutter Design | Rainwater management | Industry: Rectangular (common but prone to clogging) ▲ Our: Half-Round (ISO 9001-certified flow efficiency) | Half-round shape reduces debris buildup, improves drainage speed (ISO 9001 tested) | Less customizable compared to rectangular designs |
Mounting System | Secure attachment to fascia | Industry: Nails/screws (ASTM F1667) ▲ Our Base: Brackets with screws ▲ Our Advanced: Pre-drilled brackets | Brackets provide 3x stronger hold (ASTM D638) vs nails; Advanced: Easier alignment | Requires more tools/installation time compared to nails |
Corrosion Resistance | Coastal/salt-exposed environments | Industry: PVC (no corrosion) ▲ Our Base: ASTM A153 galvanization ▲ Our Advanced: Dual-layer coating (ASTM B201) | Steel/Aluminum: Withstands 500+ hours salt spray (ASTM B117); Advanced: 10-year warranty | Steel requires periodic recoating in extreme conditions |
Load Capacity | Heavy rainfall zones | Industry: 500 lbs/sq ft ▲ Our Base: 1,000 lbs/sq ft (ASTM D638) ▲ Our Advanced: 1,200 lbs/sq ft (ISO 14433) | Supports 2x more weight than industry standard; Advanced: Prevents collapse in storms | Higher weight may strain older roofs |
Installation Ease | DIY vs professional setups | Industry: Quick nail installation ▲ Our Base: Screw-mounted brackets ▲ Our Advanced: Snap-fit brackets | Advanced: 40% faster installation (no pre-drilling); Brackets: Secure vs loose nails | Base/Advanced require more precision compared to nails |
