Steel Rain Gutters
Galvanized and Bonderized Steel
Steel rain gutters are typically used on industrial or commercial buildings, however, homes with steel metal roofs use Steel rain gutters to minimize galvanic corrosion over other metals. They are more durable then aluminum gutters and will hold up over time due to its strength. Steel gutters are also ideal in climates with heavy wind, rain, snow, or hail because it has twice the tensile strength of aluminum. Since the metal is heavier then aluminum and requires soldering at all the joints, it can be more labor intensive then aluminum and may be more costly. Galvanized and Bonderized Steel gutters come in only 10 or 20 foot sections and they also do not come in a selection of colors because they are hot-dipped and coated in zinc to protect against corrosion. They have a life-span of typically 15-30 years. If considering Steel rain gutters it is important to consult with Gutter Tech to attain a professional assessment of your rain gutter needs.
