If you're planning rain gutter installation, your choice of materials can affect the appearance and performance of your system. Most gutter contractors offer a selection so there will always be an option to suit your home. Learn about some of the best options and how to choose between them.

3 Popular Rain Gutter Installation Materials

1. Copper

Copper is a striking material commonly used to restore older homes as well as ornament new construction. Its bright, distinctive color will eventually fade to an attractive green patina with weathering. Gutters made from this material last for decades—over 75 years in many cases—so while there is a greater initial cost to install them, it will pay off in long-term savings.

2. Aluminum

For a less expensive material, choose aluminum for your gutter replacement. Aluminum is still sturdy, with a respectable lifespan of about 20 years. It will not rust or corrode, and is light relative to its strength, making it easy for your eaves to bear.

3. Galvanized Steel

For the greatest strength, choose steel rain gutter installation. While steel by itself would normally be vulnerable to weathering, galvanized steel has a thin coating of zinc applied to the entire exterior of each component to protect against rust and corrosion. Steel lasts about the same time as aluminum, though it’s less likely to dent, leak, or crack.
