Gutter types
Guttering in different materials
Gutters’ materials
So many different materials are used to recover rainwater: PVC, copper, aluminum, zinc, galvanized steel. Composite gutters are very rare because they are not very suitable for residential buildings.
PVC gutters
PVC or plastic gutters are now the most used to set up a new gutter. However, only the hanging gutters can be PVC. PVC can take the color of the facade to match it, for greater discretion.
Copper gutters
It’s an aesthetic and maintenance-free gutter. It is resistant to all weather conditions, including the most extreme ones. It is suitable for equipping both seaside homes and those in the mountains.
Aluminum gutters
Aluminum gutters fit all types of gutters and walls, as they can be colored. They are both durable and easy to maintain. Opting for lacquered aluminum can further increase their service life.
Gutters avoid that the water stagnates on the roof and damages the tiles. Installing a drainage system is not enough. Gutters are necessary to ensure its proper functioning. The leaves and the foam are likely to block it and thus prevent a good evacuation.
Your house’s appearance is important
By preventing rainwater from being in contact with the facade, the gutters avoid unsightly traces of pouring water. They also prevent damage to brick joints, door and window framing. Exposed to rainwater, these elements will lose their luster, but also swell under the effect of moisture.

Whether it is roofing, guttering, framing or insulation, there are several elements to inspect and maintain regularly. No need to take the risk of climbing on the roof though, let the professionals do their job !
