Gutter systems often need maintenance, like anything we own. What if we could consume just one more item that requires less maintenance than competing brands, due to its durability? It surely would save the hassle of spending extra money and time. Not to mention, the use of quality materials can bring peace of mind, not having to worry if you’ve chosen the right product.
Why We Use Geocel 8125 Gutter Sealant
At Spring Rain Gutters, we believe the difference is in the details. That’s why we choose quality materials that help provide homeowners with durable, dependable gutter systems.
We install and seal seams with High-Performance Geocel 8125 Silicone Acetoxy Cure Sealant. You may ask yourself, what makes Geocel 8125 stand out? First off, Geocel 8125 is high-modulus, meaning it has a high resistance to being deformed when being pushed or pulled, essentially being stiff when under pressure. Although it is also capable of withstanding a +/- 25% joint movement when conditions aren’t perfect, further reinforcing its capability in the elements and through vibrations.
What Makes Geocel 8125 Different?
Geocel 8125 is 100% silicone that can be used across a full spectrum of temperature ranges, requiring only atmospheric moisture to cure. In essence, it could be used just as easily on a hot July day or a cold afternoon in the Fall. Even in a dry climate, such as the Treasure Valley, there certainly would be enough atmospheric moisture for Geocel 8125 to cure.
To top it off, Geocel is mildew-resistant once it cures and is engineered to adhere to non-porous surfaces, which is perfect for most building materials, including sealing the corner joints, end caps, and downspout connectors of our high-grade aluminum gutter parts.
It’s these behind-the-scenes details that can make a difference in the performance of a gutter system. At Spring Rain Gutters, we don’t believe homeowners should have to sacrifice quality in the materials they can’t see. Every component matters, from the gutters themselves to the sealant holding their connections together.
Why Quality Gutter Sealant Makes a Difference
Geocel 8125 meets ASTM C 920 and TT-S-00230-C standards and is FDA- and USDA-approved. Although Geocel 8125 is priced in the mid-to-high range of silicone sealants, its durability, flexibility, curing properties, and ability to adhere to various surfaces make it a quality choice for gutter installations.
Or, in layman’s terms, it’s the ability to adhere to several types of materials. All things considered, Geocel 8125 is a versatile choice among neutral-cure silicones, hybrid polymers, and polyurethane alternatives.
Long-Lasting Protection for Your Gutter System
Geocel’s 100% Silicone Acetoxy Cure Sealant really provides that peace of mind you’d want in having a well-constructed gutter system. It’s built to take on the elements and handle the harshest conditions. The last thing you’d want to worry about is your newly installed gutters leaking, the damage it may cause as a result, and the hassle it may incur in dealing with insurance adjusters or contractors.
You might worry that silicone may not cure in extreme heat or cold. But rest assured, it’s versatile enough to install year-round when conditions meet the manufacturer’s application requirements.
It also requires little maintenance once properly applied and comes with a limited warranty. According to the Geocel Product Warranty, Geocel 8125 comes with a performance-based warranty linked to proper application and maintenance. The limited warranty applies when the product is installed and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
With it being professionally installed, the warranty can transfer from the contractor to you, the homeowner. Geocel 8125 also needs about 24 hours to cure under recommended conditions, giving you properly sealed, ready-to-go gutters in a short time.
What Sets Spring Rain Gutters Apart?
Not all gutter installations are created equal. While the finished product may look similar from one company to another, the materials used and attention given to installation details can make a lasting difference.
At Spring Rain Gutters, we take pride in choosing quality products like Geocel 8125 because we believe homeowners deserve more than just gutters that look good. They deserve a system built for long-term performance.
Not every gutter company uses the same materials or takes the same approach to sealing gutter connections. Some installers choose butyl or polymer-based sealants, while Spring Rain Gutters uses Geocel 8125, a high-performance, 100% silicone sealant. With its resistance to moisture, weathering, and vibration, along with its ability to accommodate joint movement, Geocel 8125 offers specific performance benefits that make it a valuable part of our installation process. Rather than choosing materials based on cost alone, we prioritize products designed to deliver durability and dependable protection for your home.
