Plastic guttering has been around for a long time for good reason. It was introduced in the 60s as a lighter, more cost-effective alternative to more heavyweight guttering (made from substances such as cast iron). Plastic guttering these days is the most popular choice for building firms, since it is strong despite being lightweight, easy to maintain and, of course, much cheaper than other types of guttering.
You can get many different kinds of plastic guttering, with regard to both shape and colour. Plastic guttering can be half round, deepflow, square or a number of other shapes, and you can get it in almost any colour you want although certain colours, of course, are more widely available due to how popular they are. Black and white are the most popular colours, and if you look at buildings, you'll notice lots of them have either black or white guttering. Brown and grey are also popular choices. When choosing a colour of guttering, it is always important to ensure it doesn't clash with the colour of your building. The colour you choose will always affect the overall look of the building. Likewise, the shape you choose can have a big effect on the overall look of the building too so keep this in mind.
If you are a fan of cast iron guttering but like the benefits of plastic guttering, a recently available type of plastic guttering gives the effect of being cast iron. This effect comes about due to a second stage in the manufacturing process and it can be very convincing.
