The Van Mark Trim A Gutter Brackets add all the manufacturing steps that go into producing this component with the material sciences formulated into the aircraft-grade aluminum billet, allowing them to rise to the top of their class, and surpass the low-budget economy-grade gutter nails, ferrules, hangers, clips and straps used by the others. The Van Mark Trim A Gutter Brackets are patented brackets that are extruded using 6000 Series alloys. This group contains silicon and magnesium in approximate proportions to form magnesium silicide, thus making it heat-treatable. The 6000 Series is known for its corrosion resistance, strength, surface quality, and anodizing characteristics while offering excellent form-ability in a heat-treatable alloy with exceptional mechanical properties. We're just getting started. Alloyed aluminum, which has been cast into billets, is heated to a temperature at which it is soft and malleable but below the melting point. It is then forced, under thousands of pounds of pressure, through a die that replicates the bracket design specifications into lengths up to 150 feet. The extrusion is then cooled, straightened, cut to the desired length, and baked in an oven to achieve the desired hardness. We're still not done yet. The bracket screw holes are then drilled (not stamped), to ensure uniform gutter attachment to the fascia. Finally, the bracket is de-burred in a tumbling process to remove any sharps that can cut into an unprotected hand. Why go to all this trouble Simple, Van Mark wants you to be competitive with these brackets being the basis for many successful and profitable Trim-A-Gutter installations without costly callbacks or warranty work. Trim-A-Gutter made gutter hood and hardware accessories are designed for residential and commercial roofs of 3/12 inch or greater pitch and 5 inch K style gutters installed new or retrofit. Modifications may be necessary when installing in conjunction with slate, tile, shake, and metal roofs. Modifications should be performed by a roofing or gutter professional having general knowledge of the field to which the application applies. As rainwater collects and cascades over the gutter hood, a natural surface tension is created causing the rainwater to follow the contours of the gutter hood. Once gravity takes over, the rainwater has cleared the gutter edge and falls into the gutter trough itself. Leaves and other rigid debris are unable to make the transition, falling harmlessly to the ground.
