Benefits of Copper Eavestrough

The need for a proper eavestrough is evident, what may not be so easy to decide is what material you should choose? The general materials to choose from are copper, aluminum, plastic and steel. However, the benefits of choosing copper surpass those of aluminum, steel, and especially plastic. First of all, copper is a stronger material and every seam and end cap is soldered, not caulked. It is rust and corrosion resistant, which aluminum and steel are not. In fact, the main elements that cause rust and corrosion (salt, toxic rain and snow) are the exact elements from which your trough is meant protect your eaves and foundation. Plastic will get very dirty, become fragile and start to crack. Therefore, copper is the logical choice when choosing an eavestrough material. Its natural properties (such as algaecide and fungicide) enable copper to break down the main culprits in blockages, like moss and leaves. Copper has a life span of up to 100 years before it needs replacing. Aluminum, steel or plastic cannot withstand the drastic elements of the Canadian climate as well as copper can. While many people opt for less expensive options, copper is worth the extra investment as it is the strongest material and the longest lasting.
