One of the most compelling reasons to install copper gutters is its incredible durability. Your copper gutters will make a beautifully eye-catching addition to your home's appearance, especially with the right care and maintenance. Protect your investment by following these tips and tricks to keep your copper gutters looking incredible for many years to come:
Wear Gloves: A good rule of thumb to follow is to never touch outdoor copper home features unless you are wearing gloves. The oils, salts, and acids on the surface of your skin can naturally interact with and damage unprotected copper, which leaves behind ugly smears and fingerprints on any spot you touch. Any time you clean or touch your copper gutters, make sure to wear work gloves that are specifically designed for use with copper. These can protect your gutters from unsightly smudges or smears and keep them looking their best.
Use Metal Polish: Over time, copper can develop a greenish hue when exposed to certain environmental conditions (which can be a common occurrence here in Connecticut). While some homeowners enjoy the look of this phenomenon (known as patina), others prefer the classic copper color and would like to maintain this look. To keep your copper gutters' color intact, apply a high-quality copper polish. This safely removes tarnish, hard water spots, fingerprints, and any other marks that collect on your gutters.
Remain Consistent: When adding accessories such as extensions or downspouts down the line, you'll want to stick with copper for a cohesive, attractive look. It also makes maintenance easier, as you're sticking with the same material throughout your property. Keep consistency in mind if you decide to commit to copper gutters.
