I would strongly advise against plastic gutters or vinyl gutters. Vinyl gutters are actually made from PVC plastic, and over time they begin to sag, crack, and wear out.
It’s difficult to know which brands or type of vinyl gutter will last the longest and in your attempt to save money, your gutters may wear out in just a few years, causing more expense and headaches not to mention possible damage to your home.
You should not use vinyl gutters in the Northland. Vinyl gutters wear out much quicker in cold climates, especially if there is a lot of rain, snow, wind and ice as most plastic can be damaged by such conditions. If you install plastic gutters in Minnesota, with our freezing winters, you may end up with cracked gutters just when you need them the most.
Plastic gutters also have seams. Seams are potential weak spots on a gutter and could begin to leak.
Some metal gutters also have seams, however they can be soldered at the seams and joints, strengthening them. This Vinyl doesn’t have this option, so there’s no way to help increase their longevity in these areas.
Heavy snow and ice are usually the cause of sagging gutters. Arrowhead Custom Gutters are experts at dealing with cold, snowy, icy winters. We will install the correct gutter brackets, correctly.
It’s common to add a downspout about every 20 or 30 feet of gutter. This can change significantly depending on the style and slope of your roof. Other factors may include areas with heavy rainfall.
Additionally, downspouts are needed on each end of a gutter run, no matter the length.
We will help you to determine how many downspouts you need for optimal flow.
