Understanding the Importance of Eaves Filler Combs in Roofing

Eaves filler combs are a vital component of any well-constructed roof, yet their importance is often overlooked.

At Birdcomb, we believe in educating our customers and industry professionals about the critical role these combs play in maintaining the integrity of a home’s roofing system.

The Role of Eaves Filler Combs:

Eaves filler combs serve as a protective barrier, preventing birds, insects, and debris from entering the roof space. This not only protects the interior of the home from potential damage but also helps in maintaining the overall health of the roofing structure.

Why Traditional Materials Fall Short:

Historically, plastic has been the material of choice for eaves filler combs. While initially effective, plastic degrades over time, especially when exposed to harsh weather conditions. This degradation compromises the comb’s ability to protect the roof, leading to frequent replacements and additional maintenance costs.

Galvanised Steel, The Superior Choice:

Birdcomb’s galvanised steel eaves filler combs offer a solution to the shortcomings of plastic. Galvanised steel is renowned for its strength and durability, providing long-lasting protection that can endure the elements for up to 75 years. This makes it a superior material for roofing applications.

The Manufacturing Process:

Galvanised steel is produced through a process of coating steel with a layer of zinc, which provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and weathering. This process ensures that Birdcomb’s eaves filler combs are robust and capable of withstanding extreme conditions without deteriorating.
