How can Senox help me be more GREEN?
Recycle rainwater: The first step in rainwater collection, also known as rainwater harvesting, is to gather rainwater runoff from your roof using a rain gutter system. You can collect this rainwater in various types of rain barrels for storage. Later, you can recycle it for non-potable uses, such as watering your lawn.
Reduce environmental impact by protecting your home: Rain gutters help direct rainwater runoff away from your home’s foundation. If this is neglected, it can lead to serious issues such as foundation damage, splashback that can rot wood siding and framing, and increased moisture levels that attract insect infestations. These problems can be quite costly to fix and may require additional materials for repairs.
Use recyclable materials: Senox products are made from American scrap metal that has been melted, rolled, and painted. The products themselves are recyclable after use.
Are there less expensive alternatives to copper?
Senox offers two painted aluminum colors that replicate the look of copper without the high cost. The first option, Copper Metallic, resembles a relatively new penny, featuring a slight patina. It incorporates specks of copper in the paint and is finished with a high-gloss coat. The second option, Rustic Copper, mimics the appearance of aged copper with a two-tone textured finish that gives it a patina look. Unlike real copper, both Copper Metallic and Rustic Copper painted aluminum gutter products will not develop a deeper patina over time.
Which gutter guard product works the best?
Gutter guard products are highly recommended for preventing large leaves and debris from clogging your gutters. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing the best gutter guard. Before choosing a gutter guard, consider a few key factors: the types of leaves and debris in your area, whether tree sap could affect a specific product, and what can be properly installed based on your home’s roof and fascia design. Talk to your contractor about these factors to find the best gutter guard options for your home.For a detailed guide, click here.
Why are there streaks on my gutters?
Streaks on gutters are usually a result of Tiger Striping, which is caused by dirt and pollution build-up on the top lip of the gutter. Moisture combines with pollutants and dirt, and they stream down the face of the gutter, following the same path every time. If you don’t wash your car regularly, you can notice the same Tiger Striping occur.
Why are there faded spots on my gutters?
In most cases, faded spots on gutters are a result of using spray paint. Spray paint is often used for touchups, covering a large area with paint to cover small scratches. Some contractors may even paint some pieces of the gutter system with spray paint before installing. Senox discourages this practice because the spray paint will fade much faster than baked-on enamel, leaving an uneven or blotchy appearance. That is why Senox offers every visible part of the gutter system in every color. Senox painted aluminum products have a baked-on paint finish for lasting beauty. Senox also offers a brush-on touch-up paint for accurate application to minor nicks and scratches if needed.
Why is it dark on the inside of Senox gutters?
Senox uses Shadow BAK Wash Coat on the inside of gutters. Shadow BAK Wash Coat is a translucent black coating specifically formulated by Senox’s Research and Development Department to provide the non-reflective and disappearing properties of black while softening the contrast by creating an anodized bronze appearance.
Why black? Colored wash coats reflect the color to the surrounding surfaces and to our eyes; Shadow BAK Wash Coat does not. The perceived color of an object is directly affected by its surrounding environment. Light colors look brighter and dark colors look richer. The human eye does not perceive black’s occupied space but perceives the colors around it. Black absorbs the visible spectrum and does not reflect light. This is why Shadow BAK Wash Coat subconsciously erases the transition from the gutter to the roof.
