Should I Get Copper Gutters?
Copper gutters are considered the best guttering material for 3 reasons: Durability, Sustainability & Incredible Curb Appeal
Durable
Copper gutters last generations. These will be the last gutters you will ever buy for your forever home. Remarkable for its resistance to corrosion, moss growth, mold, mildew and fungi. The patina coating adds to copper’s durability against extreme sources of heat and contact with other materials without issue.
“Copper is an intelligent choice of materials because of its low maintenance, high resistance to corrosion and long life.” – copper.org
Copper gutters will turn your home into a legacy by lasting upwards of 100 years.
Sustainable
Copper is naturally produced and is one of the few metals that is fully sustainable. Only 12% of known copper reserves have been mined.
Unlike other materials that break down and weaken overtime, Copper can be repeatedly recycled. It has nearly twice the recycled value of aluminum and almost four times the recycled value of stainless steel. New copper gutters are made from copper that is 70% to 100% recycled.
Incredible Curb-Appeal
New, their brilliant sheen forms a stunning crown. As copper ages, its patina communicates a sophisticated elegance.
“These metals are like the statement jewelry of your home, adding elegant, timeless style!” – JULIE BLANNER
Half Round or K-Style Copper Gutters
What Are Half Round Gutters?
Half-round gutters are just what you might think – a rounded gutter. Many people choose half-round gutters because it has a unique style that adds a decorative flare to a home. Half-round copper gutters are that extra touch that will set your home apart from all others in the neighborhood.
Half-Round Gutters have the option for extra finishings like exterior hangers and decorative downspout outlets. If you are going for an one-of-a-kind customized home exterior, copper half-round gutters is the ultimate choice.
What Are K-Style Gutters?
K-Style gutters, sometimes called Ogee gutters are a classic standard. They have a box base, with a decorative curve on their face. They look like crown molding on the edge of the roof.
Half Round vs K-Style Gutters
The real difference between Half-Round and K-Style gutters is appearance. European gutters function just like traditional K-style guttering. However, their water capacity is slightly under the K-Style gutter of the same size. That’s why we recommend 6-inch half-round copper gutter system for a standard home.
You really can’t go wrong with copper gutters! Choose the style that best matches the style of the rest of your home.

Are copper gutters worth it?
Absolutely! As a general rule, copper gutters offer the longest lifespan of any gutter material, making them a premium choice that enhances property value. They cost more due to their superior durability, unique aesthetic appeal, and, largely, the higher cost of the copper material itself. They also require a specialized installation process.
Will copper gutters turn green over time?
Copper gutters will undergo a natural process called oxidation. This is primarily due to their exposure to oxygen and moisture. Over time, this changes the color. These are the stages:
- When installed, they have that brand new shiny copper penny look.
- They turn a brown/bronze color as they oxidize.
- The final color that copper takes over time, and is the final aesthetic stage of oxidation is a greenish-blue patina color. (Interestingly, this is actually a protective layer on the copper that prevents further oxidation.)
Can you stop copper gutters from turning green?
The short answer is no, you cannot fully stop the oxidation process. But you can slow it down. You can do this through regular cleanings and applying a clear protective coating or even wax. These steps will slow down oxidation and, therefore allow you to keep that shiny copper penny look longer.
