HEM (Hemmed Edge Manufacturing) technology creates a folded edge that doubles the material thickness at the critical drip point, providing superior strength, durability, and resistance to tearing or bending during installation. This advanced construction prevents installation damage, reduces callbacks, and provides enhanced water deflection compared to standard cut edges. The hemmed edge also creates a professional finished appearance.

Yes, 26 gauge steel (0.0179" thickness) is considered professional-grade for drip edge applications and provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Combined with HEM technology that doubles the edge thickness, this creates superior performance compared to thicker materials without the hemmed edge. Professional contractors prefer this combination for its reliability, durability, and installation confidence.

HEM Super steel drip edge offers superior strength and rigidity compared to aluminum, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications and extreme weather conditions. The 26 gauge steel with HEM technology provides enhanced durability and installation confidence. Steel is also more cost-effective for large projects while providing professional-grade performance. Choose aluminum for coastal environments or when weight is a primary concern.

HEM Super drip edge actually makes installation easier and more confident due to its enhanced durability and resistance to damage. Standard installation techniques apply, but contractors appreciate the reduced risk of tearing or bending during handling. The hemmed edge provides better grip points and enhanced stability during positioning. Professional installation is still recommended for safety and optimal performance.

The 10-foot lengths reduce the number of joints required, which decreases installation time, reduces potential leak points, and creates a cleaner professional appearance. Fewer joints mean fewer overlaps, less material waste, and enhanced water management performance. This length is optimal for most residential and commercial applications while remaining manageable for professional installation.

Measure the linear feet of all roof perimeters including eaves and rake edges. Add 15-20% for overlaps, waste, and corner cuts. With 10-foot lengths, you'll have fewer joints than standard 8-foot sections. A typical residential project needs 100-400 linear feet, while commercial projects can require 500-2000+ linear feet. Our professional bundles provide cost-effective coverage with reduced joints.

Yes, HEM Super drip edge is designed to work with all standard gutter systems including K-style, half-round, box gutters, and custom profiles. The 5-inch width and advanced water deflection profile actually enhance gutter performance by providing superior water direction and flow control. The HEM edge ensures consistent performance and professional integration with any gutter system.

Contractor direct pricing includes wholesale rates typically 35-60% off retail, technical support for HEM technology applications, installation guidance, and project consultation. You also get access to bulk pricing tiers, professional finish options, priority scheduling for local Damascus delivery, and ongoing project support. No contractor license required - everyone gets professional pricing on this premium product.

HEM Super excels in all extreme weather conditions due to its enhanced strength and durability. The doubled edge thickness provides superior wind uplift resistance, the 26 gauge steel maintains integrity in temperature extremes, and the galvanized coating offers excellent corrosion protection. It performs exceptionally in heavy snow, ice storms, hurricanes, and desert heat conditions.

We focus on serving our local Damascus community with personalized service and technical support. Local delivery allows us to provide hands-on consultation, ensure proper HEM technology understanding, verify material selection, and offer ongoing project assistance. This approach enables us to maintain competitive contractor direct pricing while providing the specialized support that professional-grade HEM products require.

We offer a 30-day return policy on unopened packages in original packaging. Custom finishes and cut lengths are non-returnable unless defective. For defective products, we provide immediate replacement. We work closely with customers during planning to ensure accurate material calculations, proper understanding of HEM technology benefits, and project success to minimize returns and ensure complete satisfaction.
