7 inch and 5.2 inch pvc rain gutter pipe

PVC gutters, also called vinyl gutters, are an interesting alternative to traditional guttering systems. They collect the water that runs off the roof, protecting the home's siding, basement and foundation from water damage. It originated in Scandinavia where temperatures run wild, from forty below in the winter to sixty above in the summer. So PVC gutters definitely have a big upside: like any plastic product, they can withstand extreme weather conditions. Of course, this strength is important when it comes to any exterior installation, especially guttering which has to endure some serious rain and snowmelt. 
Gutters are built to endure any abuse nature throws its way, and are carefully constructed to carry the water efficiently and effectively to the ground. In order to work, they must fit several important specifications.

The advantage of rain gutter:

Strength

PVC is made from molded plastic which means that the gutters are formed in one continuous unit. There is no paint to scratch or welded seams to corrode over time. In the shape and size of gutters, plastic is stronger than the metal alternatives. The weight of snow, ice or other loads will have less of an effect on PVC gutters. Plus, ladders will not dent the material and any blemishes on the surface will not be visible.

Flexibility
Another reason to use PVC is its flexibility. Unlike metal gutters, PVC will not lose its shape when it bows slightly. In fact, it is manufactured to be able to bow with weight. Metal gutters are flexible, but when their shape is distorted they stay that way. Bending, denting and twisting effects in metal gutters are easily visible and can become an eyesore. With PVC, you avoid these problems.

Price
Using PVC for your gutters is less expensive than installing metal. You do not want the final result to look cheap, but if you pick the right product, you will end up with a nice system of gutters at an affordable price. Be sure to hire the right people to install it so that you do not have to deal with poor workmanship.

Adaptability
Because PVC gutters are injection molded plastic, their shape and color can be adapted to the style of your home. Custom orders will likely increase the price you pay, but if you want the gutters to match precisely with the exterior of your home, this is an option available to you. You may also be able to purchase PVC gutters made from recycled materials. In this way, you are contributing to a sustainable living arrangement while using a superior product.

Installation
PVC gutters are easy to install. The sections of PVC are very lightweight and snap together quickly. With the right tools, it is a job that you can do yourself without a lot of expense. There is a skill to the installation of gutters including the proper mounting and pitch, but because PVC is less burdensome to work with, the job is easier.

Durability
PVC is very light, flexible and strong. It is well suited for use in colder temperatures that receive a lot of snowfall. Also, because it is water-resistant, PVC gutters will never freeze, rust or corrode. 

Because the material is more durable, especially in regions prone to extreme weather, PVC is superior to metal gutters. It is less expensive than metal, yet it is customizable to adapt to the exterior finish of your home. If you are replacing your gutters, consider PVC as a viable option.

Rain gutters can come in a variety of materials. Individual companies typically excel at using only one or two gutter materials, so the gutters you get will depend on availability near you and price range you are looking for. Some of the most used gutter materials include: pvc, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel. These material gutters are strong enough to endure the battering of wind, branches, pine needles and the torrents of water that gutters face. The metal must be limber enough to bend into the gutter's shape, but solid enough to hold that shape for years.
