When installing gutters, it is essential to choose the right screws to ensure that the gutters are securely attached to the fascia board. There are several types of screws available for gutter installation, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common types of screws used for gutter installation:
- Stainless Steel Screws: Stainless steel screws are the most popular type of screws used for gutter installation. They are highly durable and resistant to rust, making them ideal for use in areas with heavy rainfall or harsh weather conditions. Additionally, stainless steel screws can be used with any type of gutter material.
- Zinc-Coated Screws: Zinc-coated screws are an affordable alternative to stainless steel screws. They are also resistant to rust and can be used with any type of gutter material. However, low quality zinc-coated screws are less durable than stainless steel screws and may need to be replaced more frequently. At Martin’s we use high quality Ruspert powder coated screws for maximum longevity. The key takeway is to ensure your gutter contractor uses screws with a high quality coating that will last as long as the gutters.
When it comes to choosing the best material for gutter screws, your climate and style of home should be taken into consideration. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional gutter installer to determine the best screw type for a specific installation.
