Galvanic Reaction
Choosing the right type of fastener can be confusing as some metals don’t work well together. They can “attack” other metals which will cause at best discoloration and at worst structural failure. And it is not just differing metals touching each other that can cause issues. Mere proximity must be considered. Rainwater runoff from a reactive metal to another can wreak havoc. It is therefore very important to keep galvanic reaction potential in mind when planning the design of your building.

Colors are for reference only. You may notice that unlike our metals (0.027" vs. Kynar material), we only offer one option of certain colors, like dark bronze, or almond for example. That is because we deem these different shades to be negligible when putting together our items, such as our conductor heads and chimney caps for example. That is our opinion. Please make an informed decision prior to ordering these.
Other colors, materials and thickness may be available upon request. Colors displayed for reference only.
