With growing concern about wash-off of lead from lead-coated copper which eventually poisons drinking water, we have found an alternative. Rheinzink� superior materials are quickly growing in favor with architects across the USA. We are pleased to be one of the first installers in the New England area. The zinc components Rheinzink® offers nearly mirror the look of lead-coated copper but are ecologically safe and much more economical. As well, the integrity of the finish allows the system to last for decades. Like copper, all of the gutter seams are soldered shut ensuring water-tight longevity. It is only a matter of time before lead-coated copper is banned by the government at which time zinc will take favor. Rheinzink® products mind economy, ecology, functionality and aesthetics. Speak to our staff about zinc-based gutter systems by Rheinzink® if you are considering copper!
