Homeowners looking for the best material for Alberta eavestroughing have a variety of options. The most common materials include steel, aluminum and vinyl. However, some homes do have wooden and copper eavestroughs. Aluminum may be one of the best options and a great way to complement the home. This material is flexible and reliable and may provide a number of other benefits.
Aluminum Eavestroughs Can Handle More Water
One of the primary benefits of aluminum eavestroughs is their ability to handle more water than the other types of systems. This is an important feature, especially in a heavy downpour.
Aluminum Is a Lightweight Material
For homeowners who want a lightweight Alberta eavestroughing system, aluminum is the perfect solution. They are easier to install because they don’t weigh much and they don’t tend to sag as other materials.
Aluminum Eavestroughs Are Long Lasting
Eavestroughing made from aluminum is extremely durable. It tends to stand up to hail and snow well and isn’t likely to thin over time. This provides a product with more longevity than other materials can offer. Homeowners enjoy seamless eavestroughs for 20 years or more.
Aluminum Doesn’t Rust
Steel is probably more durable than aluminum, but it is much heavier. Once leaves and debris work their way into the gutters, some metals tend to rust or corrode. Homeowners have the option of aluminum over steel to provide a durable, longer-lasting eavestroughing system.
Aluminum Provides a Seamless Option
Nearly 70 percent of homeowners choose seamless gutter systems. Aluminum is a great material for seamless options. One reason seamless eavestroughs are a popular choice for homeowners is because no seams means no leaks. Seamless gutters ensure water is safely and effectively carried away from the house. A leak is dangerous because water spilling down the side of the home can cause a number of issues, including the growth of mold and mildew, basement flooding, fascia and soffit rot and foundation damage.
