Why HDCs Recommend Duragutter
Many HDCs, architects, and preservationists struggle to find gutters that match historic profiles while meeting modern durability standards.
Traditional solutions, such as wood gutters or copper half-rounds, often come with high costs and maintenance concerns. DuraGutter solves this problem by offering:
​
✔ Historically Accurate Profiles – Replicates original wood gutter designs for seamless integration.
✔ Premium Durability – Made from 1/8” T5 extruded aluminum, resistant to weather and impact.
✔ Customizable Aesthetics – Powder-coated white for lifelong durability, but can be painted any color.
✔ Ease of Installation – Designed for contractors and roofers, reducing labor and installation time.
By choosing Duragutter, HDCs can confidently recommend a time-tested solution that preserves history while enhancing structural longevity.

In addition to being approved by local HDCs, Duragutter has been successfully installed on multiple properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This means our product has met strict historic preservation standards, ensuring that the architectural integrity of each structure is maintained while improving functionality and longevity.
