WHAT ARE GUTTERS MADE OF??
GUTTERS MAY BE MADE OF
PLASTIC
VINYL
GALVANIZED METAL
COPPER
ALUMINUM
PROFESSIONAL GUTTER COMPANIES SPECIALIZE IN INSTALLING SEAMLESS GUTTERS IN EITHER ALUMINUM OR COPPER.
Plastic and vinyl are sensitive to temperature changes and UV light (They become brittle). Galvanized gutters eventually rust or rot out because of electro galvanic action.
Aluminum Gutters come in different Weights / Thickness.
.024 .027 .032
Aluminum is a commodity. It carries a cost per pound. The lighter the gage( .024) the less a foot of gutter costs a gutter company!!
SUNCROSS USES ONLY THE HEAVIEST GAGE (most expensive to US) THAT WE CAN BUY AND RUN THROUGH OUR MACHINE.
WE USE .032 - IT COST US MORE BUT, it gives our customers the best job!
