6" Residential Gutter System
PERFECT FOR LARGER HOMES
6" K-Style Gutter
Our 6" K-style seamless gutter is the perfect gutter system for larger homes. It’s large water capacity will ensure a great performance even in heavy Texas downpours. It will protect your home’s foundation and add a finished look to your exterior. This gutter is installed using heavy duty brackets.
Advantages
1. High Water Capacity
6" K-Style can hold approximately 40% more water that the 5" K-Style gutter, making them a good choice for homes with large roofs or those in areas with heavy rainfall.
2. Durability
The design is robust and can handle the weight of debris, which helps prevent them from pulling away from the roof if properly installed and maintained.
3. Visually Appealing
K-Style gutters are the most popular type and can mimic the look of crown molding, fitting well with many architectural designs
4. Increased Longevity
Since the K-Style gutter is made from strong durable, high-quality materials, they tend to last up to 20+ years, with proper installation and maintenance.
Limitations
1. Difficult To Clean
The interior edges and corners of the K-Style design create more places for debris to hide, making cleaning more difficult than with smoother, half-round gutters.
2. Susceptible To Clogging
The sharp, angled corners can trap leaves, sediment and other debris, making them harder to clean and potentially leading to blockages and overflow.
3. Installation Requires Care
Due to being larger and heavier, 6" gutters require a secure installation. If hangers are not screwed directly into the rafter beams, the added weight could cause the gutter to detach or pull down the fascia.
4. Not Always Necessary
For many standard residential homes, a 5" gutter is sufficient. Opting for 6" gutters where they are not needed may add unnecessary cost and complexity, especially if the fascia was not designed to support them.
