Deciding between a steel or aluminum drip edge depends heavily on your local climate conditions and budget. Aluminum is lightweight, exceptionally resistant to rust and corrosion, and ideal for coastal environments with high salt exposure, though it is slightly more flexible. Galvanized steel offers superior rigidity, strength, and impact resistance against heavy snow or ladder impacts, but it can eventually rust if the protective coating is scratched or compromised over decades of severe weather exposure.
