🔴 Why We Apply Red Oxide Primer Inside Every Gutter in Clovelly 🎨
As part of our restoration work throughout Clovelly, we’re applying a coat of red oxide primer to the inside of all metal gutters before finishing.
Red oxide primer is a proven anti-corrosion coating that helps protect metal surfaces from rust by creating a barrier against moisture and oxygen the two main causes of corrosion. This extra layer of protection helps extend the lifespan of the guttering, reduces future maintenance requirements, and improves the durability of the overall paint system.
When used on metal guttering, particularly in exposed coastal environments like Clovelly, it provides an additional defence against the elements and helps preserve the integrity of the metal for years to come.
We’re now halfway through the village and have carried out this treatment on every gutter completed so far, ensuring a consistent, long-lasting finish across the project.
