Your gutter system plays the vital role of directing rainwater away from your home. There are two styles of gutters: K-style and half-round– both offering unique benefits. Which option is the best fit for your home? Residential Concerns, one of the area’s trusted roofing contractors, provides a brief overview.
If you own a historic home and are aiming to preserve its architectural authenticity, you might want to go for half-round gutters. They resemble a tube that has been neatly cut in half. This symmetrical U-shape can complement the rounded architectural features of many older homes beautifully. In fact, half-round gutters are now being used in contemporary architecture, as well.
Many homes across the country are graced by K-style gutters because of their simple yet elegant design. They are designed to resemble Colonial-style crown molding, which provides any home with an attractive, finished look. K-style gutters also work well with angular roofing systems. Because they are flat on one side, they can be attached directly and firmly to the fascia board with just a few brackets. K-style gutters can suit both traditional and modern home. Just make sure to work with a trusted gutter and roof replacement company like Residential Concerns for the installation.
This will depend on personal taste and specific needs. K-style gutters are sturdier and less prone to damage because they are attached more firmly to the fascia board. They also eliminate the potential for leaks, allowing for smoother draining performance. In the looks department, both K-style and half-round gutters can greatly add to your home’s overall appearance.
