So what exactly are sustainable home exteriors? Sustainable exteriors include things like wood siding, metal roofing, and aluminum gutters. Sustainable exteriors are gaining popularity for the fact that they are made from sustainable materials which are better for the environment and typically have a longer lifespan than their non-sustainable counterparts. Sustainable materials also include things like the aluminum used for gutters. Aluminum is recyclable so you can even opt to use recycled aluminum gutters from the start to be even greener.

The benefits of using sustainable materials include an improved resale value, conserving energy, saving money, and a longer life span of the material.
