Baked coating creates a molecular bond with the aluminum through high-temperature application, making it virtually permanent. Unlike surface paint that can chip and peel, baked coating becomes part of the metal itself. It offers superior UV resistance, preventing fading and chalking for decades. This eliminates the need for maintenance and repainting, providing lifetime value.

The 3-inch horizontal profile provides superior water diversion capacity compared to smaller profiles. This is especially important in high-rainfall areas like the Pacific Northwest, where standard profiles may be overwhelmed during storm events. The larger profile also offers better protection for complex roof designs with multiple levels, dormers, and architectural features.
