A premium gutter system that protects your home for decades and becomes part of its character.
Copper gutters are the top of the line. Where aluminum is the practical everyday choice, copper is the system homeowners choose when they want something that lasts a lifetime and looks unmistakably high-end doing it. On the right home — a classic colonial, a stone-and-shingle exterior, a carefully restored older house — copper turns a purely functional detail into an architectural feature.
Martin's Aluminum Products has installed copper for generations. We fabricate half-round and K-style copper gutters with hand-soldered joints and matching copper downspouts, so the whole system is watertight and built to outlast everything around it.

Copper doesn't rust and the soldered seams don't fail like sealed joints. It routinely outlives the roof beneath it.
Bright copper mellows to warm brown and eventually a striking blue-green patina — a finish that only improves with time.
Copper signals quality. It elevates the look of the whole exterior and adds genuine value to distinctive homes.
No painting, no rust treatment. Keep it clear of debris and a copper system essentially takes care of itself.
The difference between a copper system that lasts and one that doesn't is in the joints. We solder copper seams by hand to create a permanent, watertight bond — the traditional method, and the reason quality copper gutters last for generations rather than years.
We'll help you choose between half-round (the classic, often paired with round downspouts) and K-style profiles to suit your home's era and architecture, and we match every elbow and downspout in copper so the whole system reads as one piece.
Not sure copper is right for your home or budget? We're glad to talk it through honestly alongside our seamless aluminum option — sometimes aluminum is the smarter call, and we'll tell you so.
Copper is unforgiving work — it rewards experience. Martin's Aluminum Products has been a family-owned, Southbury-based company since 1961, and copper has been part of our craft the whole way. When you hire us, the same local team that measures your home solders the joints and stands behind the result.
We install copper systems throughout Southbury, Woodbury, Oxford, and the surrounding towns. See examples of our work in the before & after gallery, or pair copper with new roofing or siding for a fully coordinated exterior.
Two classic profiles, and smart ways to bring copper into almost any budget.
Copper comes in two main profiles. Half-round is the traditional look — a rounded trough usually paired with round downspouts, perfectly at home on historic, colonial, and high-end custom houses. K-style has a flat back and a decorative ogee face that echoes crown molding, holds more water, and suits a wide range of architecture. We'll help you choose the profile that flatters your home and match every elbow, hanger, and downspout in copper so the system reads as one deliberate piece.
Copper makes the most sense where it will be seen and where longevity pays off: a prominent front elevation, entry porticos, bay windows, dormers, and steep show-facing rooflines. A popular approach is to run copper on the front or feature areas of the home and seamless aluminum elsewhere — you get the standout look where it counts while keeping the overall investment in check. It's also the natural choice when you're restoring an older home and want details true to its era.
Yes, copper costs more than aluminum up front — but on the right home it's rarely a regret. It can outlast several aluminum systems, never needs painting, grows more beautiful as it weathers, and adds genuine curb appeal and resale value. Keep it clear with occasional cleaning and a copper system simply does its job, quietly, for decades.
