The biggest advantage to using copper gutters on your home is their style and beauty. Copper gutters are usually more decorative than the traditional K-style gutters. Another advantage to using copper gutters is the longevity. While it does weather, copper doesn’t rust, nor is it likely to wear out, crack, or develop other problems over time. Therefore, a set of copper gutters are unlikely to need to be replaced for a couple of years, provided that you maintain them properly and keep them running free of clogs.
