The time has come to replace your gutters. You’re tired of your old gutters easily sagging, getting clogged, and leaking all over your property.

The easy part is actually deciding you want new gutters. The hard part is figuring out the type of gutters you want. Maybe you’ve heard of copper gutters but have no idea why they’re becoming so popular.

Well, copper gutters provide a bevy of benefits for your home!

Longevity

Copper gutters are incredibly durable, lasting up to 50 years on average without much need for repair if you keep up with general maintenance. Severe weather may be its only foe, but that’s only in the most severe cases, as copper gutters will hold their own when the weather takes a turn for the worst.

Stable Gutter System

Having your new copper gutter system installed by a trusted exterior contractor will certainly guarantee no sagging or pulling apart from your eaves taking place.

Copper is a soft metal in its raw form. However, when molded and shaped for use as gutters, copper holds firm against your home and is able to take on significantly more weight than its sectional gutter counterpart.

Recyclable

Since copper gutters can last for over half a century in most cases, you may never have to replace your gutters ever again.

However, when it comes time for you or someone else to replace your gutters, you can benefit from the peace of mind of knowing that copper gutters are 100% recyclable, turning their scrap into valuable tools and items down the road.

Low Maintenance

Since copper gutters have unmatched durability, general maintenance is a breeze! These gutters are resistant to all types of water damage, such as moss, mildew, and mold growth.

Copper is also resistant to corrosion, so its coating will not chip over time.

Increased Home Value

The finished look of copper gutters is aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, copper gutters come in several different styles, so you’ll be able to choose one that fits your exterior best.

With copper gutters being more durable and visually appealing, the value of your home will certainly increase!

Aluminum vs. Copper Gutters

Seamless gutters are a great way to prevent leaks and improve the aesthetics of your home. Seamless gutters are cut and molded to fit your home perfectly rather than in pieces.

The only joints or seams occur at the corners. Broken joints or seams are a common problem with gutters. Seamless gutters provide a continuous channel to dispense water and help avoid standing water.

Companies like Trinity Exteriors can install seamless gutters in both aluminum and copper. Aluminum gutters are reasonably priced and dependable. Aluminum gutters are covered in an enamel that protects against rust, though they can rust eventually. High temperatures are also damaging to aluminum gutters.

Copper gutters, on the other hand, while more expensive, are more decorative and do not rust as easily. With proper maintenance, they can last up to 50 years. Copper gutters, however, are much more expensive than aluminum gutters and must be tailor-made for your home, which provides the benefits of seamless gutters.
