What Type Of Gutters Should You Get?

 In Blog

When it comes to gutters, it’s not a case of one-size-fits-all.  In many cases, you may need to do some serious measuring and number-crunching to figure out the right fit, whether you are working to build a home or put in a replacement. Here are your options when it comes to choosing your Arvada gutters.

Regarding general gutters, there are several different ways to break down what you can use, mainly shapes and materials. We’ll start by talking about shapes first.

A K-style gutter has a flat bottom and back, and the front side of it may take on a more decorative look to try and match crown molding. There are a lot of different styles to choose from if you go this route. A half-round gutter is a little less versatile, mainly being used for older homes that have more of a historic quality. The main tradeoff is that a K-style gutter will cost more, but it also has a larger capacity.

Now, let’s talk materials. Here, you have a bit more variety when it comes to what you want to use.

Aluminum: This is the most common material used, and has the benefits of being lightweight and non-rusting.

Copper: This is a bit more expensive and will need a professional’s help to install, but it develops its own patina over time and has a beautiful look.

Steel: This is super durable, but is also rather heavy, and can rust after 5-10 years.

Vinyl: An affordable and light option, the main concerns here are how it handles extreme conditions and weight. Colors can also fade if exposed to heavy sunlight.
