Before you install new gutters, it is important to explore what type is best for your home. It can be tricky business, but A Real Advantage is here to rescue you! Read ahead to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of wooden gutters before you make a choice.
Pros
When it comes to new gutters, the main advantage to selecting wooden gutters is that they look authentic and are strong.
Cons
As for the negatives of choosing wooden gutters, their surface is rougher—adding more resistance to the flow of the water—so they carry less water than metal gutters.
Wooden gutters also require more maintenance. Although all gutters have to be cleaned, wooden gutters need to be painted with a sealer or oiled every other year at least (once a year is preferable). It is also necessary to maintain the seal on the corners and gooseneck.
We hope this helps if you plan on installing new wooden gutters over this holiday weekend!
