Downspout and the rest of the words you wanted me to put in here. Don't Call The Gutter Guys. Gutter Endurance A well built home can last for several generations. Why install a system that would not stand the test of time. Aluminum gutters maybe last 20 years with constant maintenance. Copper and zinc gutters can survive 60+ years with minimum maintenance and well past 100 years if installed and inspected properly. Rather than corroding, copper builds a patina on its surface which protects it from the watery destruction that befalls other metals. System Appearance Many gutter systems are painted because the metal has little value and does not have aesthetic value. Rare metals such as zinc and copper have a natural and surviving beauty, classy and charming. Like a fine wine, the copper gets better with age. As the years pass, the copper changes its color. Sustainable Materials These gutters need only a small amount of maintenance, especially the downspouts are seamless like ours. European-style gutters are shaped like a bowl to encourage the water away from the house by simple physics. Instead of faulty and deteriorating caulking, the copper in the systems is soldered. The metal, along with zinc, is recyclable, though you won’t be recycling it in your lifetime.
