3 Reasons to Invest in Aluminum Gutters
Homeowners often do not give enough thought to rain gutters. Quality gutters must be able to prevent pooling water and leaks yet be attractive enough not to interfere with the curb appeal of your home.
Striking the right balance between function and aesthetic value can be challenging when you install new gutters. An aluminum gutter system could offer you the custom-made gutter look that you desire at a price you can afford.
Take the time to understand all of the benefits you will get when you install a seamless aluminum gutter system so that you can make an informed decision when choosing gutters for your home.
1. Durable
Maintaining a home is not inexpensive. The last thing you want to do is invest in new rain gutters, only to find that the gutters have deteriorated and need replacing again a few years down the road.
Seamless aluminum gutters are a great option when you want durable gutters for your home. Aluminum has the ability to withstand corrosion when exposed to the elements over time.
Some metals will begin to rust or deteriorate when they come into contact with moisture, but aluminum will not. No iron is in the composition of aluminum, which eliminates the potential for rust (which is an iron oxide) to affect the surface of your aluminum gutters.
You can count on aluminum rain gutters to perform efficiently well into the future.
2. Strong and Lightweight
Aluminum is an incredibly strong, yet lightweight metal. Rain gutters made from aluminum take advantage of these characteristics to provide your home with a more stable pathway for water removal.
Sagging is one of the most common problems homeowners face when maintaining their gutters. Sagging can be from gutters too heavy for standardized fasteners to support.
Since aluminum is so lightweight, it can accommodate larger volumes of water without becoming too heavy for standardized fasteners. You will be able to avoid sagging and the moisture problems that accompany sagging gutters when you opt to install a seamless aluminum gutter system on your home.
3. Profile Diversity
Gutters can contribute to or detract from the beauty of your home's exterior. Opting to install aluminum gutters gives you maximum flexibility when selecting a gutter profile that will fit your home.
Seamless aluminum rain gutters can be manufactured in a box, K-style, or half-round profile.
Box gutters are a great option for homeowners who want to maintain a sleek and clean exterior aesthetic. K-style gutters resemble the letter K when they are viewed from the side. A K-style gutter can add character and substance to a traditional home.
Half-round gutters offer the most practical advantages for homeowners. Their half-circle shape and curled-top edges create an unobstructed pathway through which water can travel. Leaves, branches, and other debris rarely get stuck in half-round gutters, allowing them to operate efficiently.
Half-round gutters can accommodate the highest volume of water, so they are a great profile option for homeowners in wet climates.
Aluminum should be your material of choice when installing new rain gutters. Seamless aluminum gutters can easily protect your home's roof, siding, and foundation from water damage.
An aluminum gutter system can also be customized with a profile that will complement the architectural style of your home's exterior. Any homeowner who values profile diversity, performance, and durability will likely be satisfied with seamless aluminum gutters.
