027 gauge aluminum gutters are durable enough to withstand mild to moderate weather. But if your area has a temperate climate or often experiences heavy wind, rain or snowfall, we recommend installing . 032 gauge gutters. As a general rule, the higher the gauge, the more durable the gutters.

The most common gutter size is 5 inches, but some homeowners opt for 6-inch gutters to handle more rainfall. There are also 4- and 7-inch gutters, but they are less common. Homeowners who live in areas with heavy rainfall or who have steep roofs may opt for larger gutters to handle the increased runoff.

Gutters aren't essential for every house, and you don't have to install them on all roof areas. Consider the weather in your area and the slopes on your roof to determine if you should install gutters.

“K-style gutters” are rain gutters for residential and commercial buildings. They are so named because of the shape of the gutter, which is similar to the letter “K.” These gutters are known for their durability, versatility, and sleek appearance, making them a popular choice among homeowners and contractors.
