.027" aluminum, with a 30 year warranty on the Kynar 500 protective, industrial coating. Matte finish. The toughest and thickest top cap in the industry.
Uses the natural principle of water adhesion, and a geometry that fosters proper water flow, to allow water to flow into your gutters, while deflecting debris away. Can handle in excess of 10+ inches of rainfall an hour.
Extra wide aluminum permits the top cap to be secured under the second row of shingles to provide maximum support for the gutter system.
The top cap attaches to the bracket using the patent pending "Gripper™" that connects the bracket to the top cap without screws. Each piece of top cap is five feet long, and brackets are placed in the gutter approximately every two feet to provide excellent support for snow and ice loads.
An overlap slot on the end of each top cap helps the installer correctly position each piece side-by-side, making the installation less complicated, where the system is pleasing to look at when finished and the components properly interlocked.
