Why copper
The gutter that outlasts the house
Copper gutters do not rust and do not need painting. In our dry climate copper ages slowly from bright to a deep brown, and only turns green in wetter spots. Many homeowners choose copper for the front of the house, canales and rain chains, and aluminum everywhere else.
Copper is joined with soldered seams rather than formed in one piece, and it costs several times more than aluminum. It is an investment piece for custom homes, historic restorations and front entries.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long do copper gutters last?
Properly installed copper gutters commonly last 50 years or more.
Will copper turn green in Albuquerque?
Usually not much. Our dry air lets copper age to brown. Green patina forms where water sits often.
Can you make copper canales?
Yes. Copper canales and scupper boxes are a beautiful match for adobe. See canales and scuppers.
