Home Gutters Materials

• Aluminum: Will not rust, lightweight and easy installation. Can be painted, lasts up to 25 years, but they can be dented or bend.
• Vinyl: Least expensive, easy DIY, will not corrode or rust, not affected by salty air, can become brittle in hot climates and crack in sudden freezes.
• Zinc: Resist corrosion, durable, long-lasting, will not warp, expensive, but will develop an attractive patina. These are not good for DIY and are not tolerant of salty air or cedar shingled roof’s runoff.
• Steel: A good choice for severe weather climates, can be painted, prone to rust, heavy and not good for DIY.
• Copper: Will fade to a beautiful green-patina, will not rust or warp, durable, very expensive, and needs professional help to put up.

Half-round Gutters

Shaped like a tube cut in half, these home gutters are common on older homes, and need to be cleaned to prevent clogging from debris. Purchase leaf guards to keep them draining well.

K-Style Gutters

Shaped like a “K” the flat back is easy to nail into the fascia board. It resembles the look of crown molding but the angles make it harder to clean.

Fascia Gutters

These custom home gutters are more on the expensive side but are wonderful at preventing rust and leaks due to their fitted designs. These ones need to be installed professionally due to the fitted parts to hide seams and crevasses.

Different materials, needs, prices, and styles give you a variety of home gutters to choose from.
