If you’re in the market for new gutters for your home, you may be wondering which gutter material is the right choice. Two popular materials are aluminum and copper. Let’s explore each in depth and then you’ll be able to make an educated decision to best meet the needs of your home.
Copper Gutters — A High-End Option that’s Not Without its Drawbacks
Copper gutters are certainly durable, but that’s really the only benefit they have going for them — there are simply too many drawbacks to make this option worth your investment. First, if you’re budget-conscious, copper gutters are definitely not the right choice for you as they’re one of the most expensive gutters on the market. Additionally, copper is very heavy and therefore the installation will take longer. Plus, copper gutters are only available in one color and will lose their like-new appearance much sooner than aluminum gutters as the copper material fades into a green patina. Are copper gutters better than aluminum gutters? For most homeowners, the answer is no.
Benefits of Aluminum Gutters & How They Stand Apart from Copper Gutters
Aluminum, though maybe not as hearty as copper, is still a highly durable material that will last for years. And, it is far lighter, which can make the installation process much easier on the technician, and can therefore take a fraction of the time to install. Aluminum gutters are much more affordable than copper gutters, and they’re available in a range of vibrant colors to complement the exterior of your home.
