Traditional K-Style gutters
K-Style gutters are the traditional gutter seen on homes. Based on the size of your roof and the distance the water will have to travel, a choice would be made between the 5" and the 6" profile. The downspouts are sized according to the gutter choice and the volume of water they will have to relieve.
Half Round Gutters
Half Round gutters add a look that is very appealing while still efficiently moving water away from the home. Unlike K-Style, the brackets are on the outside of the gutter enhancing the look. The pictures below display the types of brackets as well as the sizes available. Half Round gutters come seamless in both 5"and 6" and the round leaders come in both 3"and 4".
