Purchasing gutters is an important step in the home renovation process, as they protect against the elements and can drastically change the look of your home. Luckily, there are multiple types of material to choose from when making this selection.
If you’re looking for a high-end option, look no further than copper. While copper costs more than other materials available, it has the longest lifespan.
For anyone looking to elevate the curb appeal and market value of their home while ensuring low maintenance costs, copper gutters can’t be beat!
Durability
You will find copper gutters on many of America’s historic homes. Why? Simple: copper gutters have the longest lifespan.
The average copper gutter system lasts 60 years. As long as the system is properly cared for, however, it can last up to 100 years.
It’s true, copper gutters cost more than steel and aluminum systems. If, however, you plan on staying in your home a long time, the upfront premium you will pay for copper gutters saves you money on replacement and repair costs down the line.
Low Maintenance
Another benefit of copper gutters is that they require minimal upkeep. The material’s durability protects against some of the issues you might see with lower quality options (i.e. hail damage).
You should only need to clean debris from your gutters twice a year. The Guru Gutter Guys offer gutter guards that will protect against debris accumulation, as well, making it even easier to take care of them.
While other options are color customizable, copper should not be painted because any removal of paint down the line will damage and scrape the material. By not needing to paint these gutters, you will save time on maintenance. Plus, copper’s natural finish is actually one of the greatest benefits of choosing them.
Stylish Appearance
Like most metals, copper is susceptible to change when exposed to the elements. As previously mentioned, however, this exposure does not damage copper gutters. In fact, it adds another eye-catching effect to them.
As oxygen in the air interacts with the copper, these gutters will form an outer layer called a patina. Unlike rust formed on materials like steel, copper patina has a blue-green or turquoise color.
