Which material is better, Vinyl or Aluminum gutters?
Before making a comparison, we need to define vinyl, and aluminum.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a synthetic plastic that is tough and durable, and it has flame retardant properties. It is known as the world’s most versatile plastic.
Vinyl eavestroughs are popular because they are affordable, and lightweight. Furthermore, they need little to no maintenance. As a result, a vinyl eavestrough will cut down the cost of your project. Furthermore, it is very easy to install.
If vinyl is correctly installed it can last up to 20 years. However, in wet areas it could last from 8 to 10 years.
Aluminum
If you are looking for a lightweight, and an even more durable material, then you should consider Aluminum.
Aluminum eavestrough are popular because they do not rust. At the same time, it is relatively affordable. For our professionals at Protech Aluminum, they are easy to install.
Aluminum eavestrough comes in a wide variety of colors and styles that makes the selection for your home easy.
How to select the right material?
If your roof has copper flashing or shingles, you should not use aluminum gutters. The copper that washes off your roof can cause the aluminum to corrode faster. To keep aluminum gutters looking their best, it’s good to clean them at least 2 times a year or install Alu-Rex Leafgurads. Seamless aluminum eavestroughs are recommended because they are not expensive and can last a lifetime without rusting. Aluminum is available in many colors so it is a good option for any home and style.
Select the right eavestrough material for your needs, and you will enjoy many years of trouble-free protection from water damage. If you live in the Ontario area with frequent rain or snowstorms, you will be better off with aluminum eavestroughs because they will not rust and will last you a long time.
