Stainless Steel Mesh vs Regular Steel Mesh
Which One Should You Choose?
Both are extremely strong — but each has unique benefits depending on your home.
Stainless Steel Mesh (Premium Option)

✔ Metal or Colorbond roofs
Galvanised/Steel Mesh (Heavy-Duty Standard Option)

Excellent debris blocking
Lower cost than stainless steel
Great for high-leaf environments
Still fire-safe in most BAL zones

Why Steel Mesh Is the Best Choice for High-Debris Homes
If your gutters constantly fill with:
• Gum nuts
• Pine needles
• Seed pods
• Sticks
• Flower husks
…steel mesh will outperform aluminium or plastic every time.
It can also support more weight, making it ideal for storm-prone suburbs across the Illawarra escarpment and Southern Highlands.
