While guttering may not rank highly on the list of most exciting or interesting things to buy or maintain for your home, it’s easily one of the most essential. Without guttering, the rain that falls on the roof of your home has nowhere to go, and you are in danger of leaks, floods and damage to your roof, walls and paintwork.
There are a lot of choices for guttering on the market today. Plastic guttering is one of the most widely available and popular, but you can also get copper, cast iron guttering and even aluminium. Each of these has its relative benefits and drawbacks which are individual to the material in question.
However, plastic guttering is so popular for a few reasons, and of all the reasons that homeowners choose plastic guttering, price is one of the most persuasive.
Unlike other materials used for guttering, plastic is lightweight (making it easier to work with), yet structurally strong and extremely durable. Hardly any maintenance at all is required to keep plastic guttering in good condition, other than a twice yearly clean to remove any debris. (This is recommended for all gutters, no matter what materials they are made from.)
Plastic guttering is available in a choice of colours (black, white, brown, grey and sand), and also different profiles to suit your home. For example, you can buy plastic guttering in half round, square, deep-flow and ogee profiles. The type of profile that you buy should depend on the size of your roof, the flow that is required, and whether you would like a decorative edge to it or not.
