An advantage to using cast iron guttering in your home is its high resistance to impact such as vandalism and accidents. It is secure against heavy winds and snowfalls. If adequately maintained, the cast iron properties will be sustained for life.

Can you still buy new cast-iron guttering, except perhaps very expensively for important restoration work on ancient buildings? Most such fittings now are plastic. As for impact-resistant, cast-iron is brittle and gutters are of thin sections, easily broken! It will last for years though - possibly longer than uPVC - as cast-iron exposed to the weather is usually quite resistant to corrosion to any great depth.
