Half Round Gutters: An Alternative Style for Your Home
When selecting a gutter system, it is not always common knowledge that there are multiple style options available. Half round gutters offer an alternative style for your gutters, and they are available in all gutter materials that The Brothers that just do Gutters install. They are also available in 5 inch and 6 inch gutter sizes.
K Style and Half Round Gutters
The two styles of gutters that The Brothers offer are traditional K-Style Standard gutters and the classic Half Round gutters. The aesthetic beauty of half round gutters is most often the reason they are chosen as a gutter solution. Their rounded shape works beautifully with a variety of style homes. They resemble a tube that has been cut in half. Their symmetrical U-shape complements the rounded architecture seen on many older homes. We have been adding them to newer homes also. The modern designs have more unique architectural elements that have less angular shapes.
Materials and Sizes
Along with these style options, there are also different materials and sizes available. These gutters are available in aluminum, galvalume, color, and copper, galvanized gutters. Prices will vary per order and style/material/size preferences. We also offer them in seamless, which is always a better installation. Eliminating seams lessens the potential for leaks or damage to those areas.
Custom Design
Creating a custom design for your gutter system is our specialty. With a variety of options in style, size, and material, we offer a unique, functional, and design-forward customization process. We are ready to assist you in creating a system tailored to your home’s needs and style preferences.
Half Round Gutters vs. K-Style Gutters
Half round gutters are an excellent choice for homes that were built prior to the 1950s with more rounded features. They are also commonly used on modern homes that do not have angular roofs (which best accommodate K-style gutters), or feature brick or natural stone siding. Here are some key differences between the two styles:
Half Round Gutters
- More attractive and efficient
- Low-maintenance
- Less likely to clog than K-style gutters
- Cannot hold as much water as K-style gutters
- Typically between 5 and 6 inches in width, but anything between 4 and 8 inches in width is available
- Come in aluminum, copper, steel, zinc, or vinyl
K-Style Gutters
- More functional, durable, and affordable
- Better water-holding capacity than traditional gutters
- Less prone to leaking, bending, or protruding due to harsh weather conditions or external forces
- Typically come in traditional and seamless styles
- Come in aluminum, vinyl, steel, and copper
When choosing between gutters, it is important to consider the style of your home, the amount of rainfall in your area, and your personal preferences.
