Custom Gutters

Rain gutters are the long, hollow devices attached to the roof edge. Their primary purpose is to catch rainwater and direct it away from the foundation. For a home or commercial structure to be complete, it needs a rain water system to function properly.

There are three most common profiles, and there are size options within each profile. Gutters can also be produced in most colors to fit the appearance of your home or business.

Let’s talk about your options!

Box gutters are common in commercial projects like restaurants. They are also growing in popularity with some modern industrial homes because they offer an attractive square appearance.

They have a traditional box shape with a 1” lip on the top front and come in sizes between 5″ and 8″ depending on the structure and amount of watershed.

European box gutters are a new style gaining popularity. They differ from traditional because they are smooth on all sides and don’t have the 1″ lip on the top front.

We also refer to half-round gutters as half-moon or circle. They are absolutely beautiful on the right house! Their inside surface is smooth, which allows water to move extremely fast with more resistance towards the outlet. They come in 6″ and 8″ options.

They attach with a bracket (hanger) that’s mounted to the fascia. The half-round gutter sits down inside the brackets and lock in place. There are also external brackets that give a more classic appearance. I typically recommend these for farmhouse-style homes.

K-Style is the most common profile in the United States. They resemble crown molding, a clean aesthetic that most residential homes prefer. They come in 5-9″ sizes.

Residential homes most commonly use 5″ and 6″ k-style gutters.

The 7″ and 8″ sizes are common in commercial projects. They’re also common in residential homes in the south because they see high torrential rainfalls.

The 9″ size is all commercial. Only serious projects with the great watershed and large roof square footages use the 9″ size.
