Commercial Gutters
Commercial
Commercial gutters are different from residential gutters in many ways, including styles, sizes, and durability requirements. Commercial properties may also be subject to various legal or building code requirements depending on city or county regulations.
But similar to residences, commercial properties need properly functioning rain gutter systems.
Let’s look at some options!
What Sets Lovett Gutters Apart?
7″ Seamless Commercial Box

We produce both adjustable & straight back profiles.

Unlike many guttering companies, we invest in high-quality commercial machines to produce gutters and downspouts in-house.
This allows us a degree of control over the final product, but also to pass along savings to our customers.
The 7″ Seamless Commercial Box Gutter machine is one of many of our commercial guttering machines used to produce in-house. We also have machines to custom make:
- 7” Contemporary
- 7” Slanted Box
- 6” K-Style Smart Machine
- 5” K-Style
- 6” K-Style
- 7” K-Style
- 8” K-Style
- Custom Elbows
We also have an industrial Metal Brake for bending custom Box Gutters and Downspouts
Commercial Gutter FAQ
Commercial Gutter Styles
Commercial Box Gutters: the 5″ and 6″ widths are more common on commercial properties. This shape allows for more control over higher rainwater volumes.
Commercial K-style Gutters: the 7″ and 8″ sizes are common in commercial projects. The 9″ size is all commercial. Only serious projects with the large watershed and large roof square footages use the 9″ size. K-Style commercial gutters are also used when the architecture calls for a more “crown molding” look.
Commercial Half-Round Gutters: if half-round gutters are used in commercial projects, it’s most likely the larger 6″, 7″, 8″, or 9″ sizes, depending on the application.



Commercial Gutter Materials
More heavy-duty materials are used in commercial projects to accommodate higher water volume, such as 24-Gauge Galvanized Steel and Heavy Aluminum.
Compared to residential homes, commercial properties occupy significantly more roof square footage, meaning we need to control much more water.
On average, they both have a life span of 20 years while a more high-end option can last up to 50 years.



Commercial Downspouts
There are key similarities and differences between residential and commercial downspouts. They are similar because their core purpose is to drain water from within the gutters and route it safely to the ground.
Commercial Downspouts


There are key similarities and differences between residential and commercial downspouts. They are similar because their core purpose is to drain water from within the gutters and route it safely to the ground.
While residential gutters will typically route water away from the home and into the landscape, commercial properties don’t always have that luxury. Therefore, rainwater can route into pumping systems, buried downspouts, or underground drains. Depending on local regulations, commercial downspouts may also route rainwater into the sanitary sewer or storm drain system. Most of this involves pre-construction planning.
While we typically balance aesthetics and functionality goals in residential guttering, commercial downspouts (and their gutters) lean more towards the functionality of controlling high-volume rainwater. Yes, we build downspouts to match appropriately with the gutters, but larger or oversized systems are chosen for commercial properties.


Commercial Gutter
Cleaning & Maintenance
Both residential and commercial gutters/downspouts will need a seasonal cleaning, especially as fall comes around. It doesn’t matter which profile, size, or material gutter your property has, they can clog in the right environment with leaves, sticks, branches, or other natural debris.

Both residential and commercial gutters/downspouts will need a seasonal cleaning, especially as fall comes around. It doesn’t matter which profile, size, or material gutter your property has, they can clog in the right environment with leaves, sticks, branches, or other natural debris.
While you could use more conventional or DIY methods for residential gutters, commercial systems are much larger. Gutters may span several thousand feet, and downspouts may be several stories high. Or even worse, underground downspouts and drains may clog as well.
We commonly add leaf guards to commercial gutter systems to help protect your building and all parts that help keep rainwater moving quickly.

Installed new gutters and downspouts at our home and did a fantastic job. Quality is 100%. On time and couldn’t be happier. I recommend them.
