Have your house bronzed.

I have decided I want copper gutters.

Why not platinum?

Sorry, they are called gutters.

Trying to draw platinum over a eavestrough mandrel would be next to impossible unless it was at 1000*

People who call them gutters probably can't afford the copper variety.

Use stainless screws. Much easier to find and a helluva lot easier to put in. You won't need any anchors if you hit the studs.

X2 Aluminum screws are weak. Use stainless with finishing washers.

I would just stick them on with regular duty Liquid Nails, the HD stuff is thicker.

Okay.

So will this diamond plate be mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or a combination of both?

Use stainless with finishing washers.

I'd probably just use an oval head screw, the hell with the finishing washers - they'll mostly countersink themselves in aluminum when you tighten them down. HD had these in SS last time I looked.

I think those would look good in a nice stainless steel finishing washer.

They might not seat flush on the raised diamond pattern though.

I have decided I want lowlifes to swing by my house and steal my copper gutters.

fixed.

The problem with screwing is that measuring for the holes will have to be fairly precise, since the alum. panels will be tiled, off by a bit and it will be noticeable.

I would use adhesive alone, fawk screws.

He is screwing into anchors, not going to be THAT tight.

Countersunk flat heads FTW, or finish washer if screws are needed.

UMMM I would Glue it to OSB or something then screw it to the wall for easy removal should you not like the look or you want to seel your place one day. Replacing all the drywall would be one big Pain in the ass.

 

[frank_c]

OSB will make it thicker than it has to be.

OSB will make it thicker than it has to be.

And will also not hold up well when hosing down all the bodily fluids.

1000°C that is. Platinum is still silver at 1000°F
