Galvanized Gutters

Galvanized gutters are a great option for those looking to add a gutter system to their home. With so many options it can be hard to decide. Galvanized steel is coated with a layer of zinc. This will then strengthen the metal and making it resistant to rust. Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of galvanized gutters.

Now that we went over the Pros, let us look at some cons of Galvanized gutters.

• Zinc Layer

Over time the zinc layer that prevents rust will war off. When this happens, these gutters will become susceptible to rusting and other issues.

• Heavy

These gutters are on the heavier side. What does this mean for you? Just that it will make installation more difficult. Raising the cost of the installation.

• Zinc Layer Part 2

As you can tell the zine layer has been added twice to this list. The reasoning this time is due to the fact it can be hard to tell if this layer has come off. Without an inspection then it’s a possibility that rust can go unnoticed for some time.
