Gutters can be visually enhanced to provide a home's exterior with more pizzazz. When buying a new gutter system, you can make an architectural statement by using decorative ornaments or brackets, scalloped fascia boards and beaded soffits, or a high-end material like traditional, old-fashioned copper.

If your looking to add an old world elegance and authenticity to your home, consider half round copper rain gutters from Superior Gutters. Half Round Gutters are available in Copper, Aluminum and Galvalume.

There are two good reasons for buying a copper gutter system: style and durability. More malleable than aluminum, copper systems also allow for more ornamental features. Decorative flourishes include shells, birds and leaves that can be soldered to the face of the gutter, rain deflectors that fit on inside corners, and downspout boots. (Some of these ornaments are available in aluminum and can be used to enhance aluminum gutters.)

Although copper systems cost more than aluminum gutters, they also can last twice as long. Copper gutters and leaders can last 40 years and longer.

If your roof is at the end of its life span, combining copper gutters and a new roof with shingles rated for up to 40 years could be a smart move.

Properly sizing copper gutters is key. If copper gutters are undersized, then water will splash out onto the siding. Over time, copper turns a patina green, but this greenish color can also be splashed onto siding and brick through the overflow, and it can be tough to get rid of. Superior Gutters professionals can calculate the amount of water runoff, which will help determine the gutter size you need.
