    Are they classified as extruded, sheet, cast?

    Depends on your Yard but mine takes them as Aluminum Siding or Old Sheet Aluminum.

    I know this is an older thread, but it still deserves another comment...

    Recently I got some gutters that appeared to be aluminum (nonferrous, very lightweight, etc.). The body of the gutter was indeed aluminum but the end cap piece was steel. So I have to cut off that end piece to get an aluminum price out of it. Unfortunately, it doesn't come off that easily.

    I'll have to stop over to get a price.
