“If things are not installed per the manu- facturer’s guidelines, the products can fail,” Sellors says. “This not only makes the manu- facturer of the material look bad but can also void the warranty. The responsibility lies on the company installing the products, and they need to know what they’re doing.” Red River Siding is a leader in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario for exterior appli- cations, offering start-to-finish solutions for every project. They strive to exceed expectations through thorough prod- uct knowledge and excellent customer service. Red River Siding serves Winnipeg and surrounding areas including Lac du Bonnet, Brandon and cabin country in the Whiteshell and Lake of the Woods. As a COR certified company, awarded by SAFE Work Manitoba, they are recognized with national safety accreditation proving they have strong, documented health and safety systems meeting industry standards, reducing risks and lowering costs.
“Eavestroughs, fascia and soffits are mostly functional, but they can add a design element if desired,” Sellors says. “Most people stick with a standard solid-colour aluminum, but there are many other options out there in natural woodgrains and other material selections, most of which are still maintenance-free. Colours can be changed to match the façade of the home.” For a gutter system to function effec- tively, some maintenance is required such as cleaning debris (the aforementioned fall cleanup of leaves and twigs) and ensuring downspouts are clear and directed at least six feet away from the foundation. Some key considerations in choosing the right materials for your home include mainte- nance, durability and cost. Sellors also emphasizes that the right installer is as important as the materials. Installation errors can lead to unwanted water damage, compromised ventilation and loose or sagging gutters, all of which can erode the integrity of your home’s structure.
