Manufacturing
FiberGutter is manufactured in the United States through a process called pultrusion . Pultrusion is a continuous process whereby reinforcing fibers are first pulled through a resin bath, then into a shaping and forming guide system, and finally into a die – where the product is generally heated and cured to its nominal dimensions. The result is a Consistent, Uniform, and Structurally-Superior piece of rain gutter.
Fasteners
Structural stainless screws have proven to be the Best And Longest-Lasting Fastener to use when hanging FiberGutter brand Fiberglass Gutter. The self-drilling point before the threads allows our gutter to be installed without pre-drilling – and resists cracking during installation.
