Different Types of Rain Gutters
Rain gutter is a narrow channel usually attached along the edge of the roof. It prevents the roof from accumulating too much water by collecting water from it and pouring it down to the ground through a downspout.
There are different types of rain gutter that you can install on your roofing system. Some of them are briefly described below.

• Aluminum Rain Gutter. This is the most seen kind of rain gutter in most houses. Aluminum rain gutters are way cheaper than other kind of metal-made rain gutters. This kind of rain gutter is also stronger than wood rain gutter. However, aluminum rain gutter could easily be bent by heavy loads like a falling branch of tree.
• Steel Rain Gutter. This is the most durable type of rain gutter. It can withstand damages from standing ladder and falling branches of trees. However, steel rain gutter easily accumulates rust unless it is a stainless one. Stainless rain gutter needs no maintenance at all but is very expensive.
• Vinyl Rain Gutter. This type of rain gutter is cheap and does not accumulate rust. However, vinyl rain gutters are required to be replaced occasionally since the ultra-violet rays coming from the sun can damage them in varying degrees. Vinyl rain gutter might also be damaged by heavy loads and too much pressure applied on it.
• Box Rain Gutter. This kind of rain gutter is visible on old houses and buildings. They grew into popularity between the years 1880 and 1925. Unlike other contemporary types of rain gutter, box rain gutters are installed beneath the roof itself.
• Wood Rain Gutter. This is the least used type of rain gutter nowadays because they are very much vulnerable from termites. They are also expensive and are usually made from cedar or hemlock.
