Properly installed gutters are absolutely vital to the protection of your property. In order to ensure that water is effectively removed away from your home, make sure to use durable and reliable gutters, as they are an essential part in your outdoor drainage system.

 

 

Gutters will prevent water from dripping down the sides of a building, which could cause damaging mold and mildew. Water can crack windows and also potentially crack the foundation of a home. If water enters even the smallest of cracks, it can freeze, causing cracks to expand even more. Serious foundation damage is very expensive and can also be extremely hazardous to people within a building. By installing gutters you can also prevent the possibility of basement or landscape flooding.

When selecting the material for your gutters, it is important to consider the benefits of both aluminum and copper. Aluminum is a less expensive material and will not rust. The installation process is not time-consuming and aluminum is a lightweight material that is available in a variety of colors. If looking to coordinate your gutters with the exterior siding of your building, aluminum offers a variety of color options. Aluminum is also durable and can hold up against the harsh Canadian climate.

 

 

While aluminum is a strong material, it is not nearly as strong as copper. Copper is the most durable material available for a guttering system. Although it is slightly more expensive then aluminum, it has a life span of up to 100 years and will not need to be replaced anytime soon after installation. Copper contains elements such as algaecide and fungicide, which will naturally decompose moss, leaves and other debris that can cause gutter blockages. It will not rust and corrode and provides an elegant appearance to any building. When copper is first installed, it gives off a shiny bronze coloring and gradually matures into a beautiful green patina. Copper will withstand the elements better then any other material. It is also a sustainable material. Therefore, by selecting copper, you are going with an eco-friendly option.
