Nordic Steel Gutters: Your Questions Answered
At Nordic Steel Gutters, we believe in providing solutions that deliver quality, function, and aesthetic appeal. We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions from our customers to ensure you have all the information you need about our industry-leading gutter systems.
How do you space the hangers?
- Answer: For most installations, we space hangers 1 every 2 feet.
- If there is no fascia board, you can space hangers up to 1 per 32 inches (roof joists are typically 16″ on center).
Does the Nordic system use caulk?
- Answer: No, our system is completely caulk-free. The Nordic Steel Gutters system is designed with EPDM gaskets and end caps that provide a seamless, watertight fit.
What screws should I use to fasten the hangers?
- Answer: It depends on the substrate:
- For a fascia board backed by solid 2x wood, use 1 ¾-inch screws.
- For roof joists, use screws that are at least 3 ⅛ inches long.
- If you’re near the ocean, use stainless steel screws to resist corrosion. Otherwise, exterior screws are sufficient.
Will the steel rust?
- Answer: No, our gutters will not rust. The steel core is protected by:
- Galvanization
- Primer paint
- A durable top coat
Think of it like a painted galvalume or Aluzinc material. Our gutters are rugged, long-lasting, and backed by a 20-year warranty.
