0.027" Aluminum Brownstone Gutter - L Style

Aluminum Brownstone Gutter

Style L - Available in several colors. 0.027" Aluminum.

Brownstone Gutters are a common, historic profile typically seen on Brownstone style homes, hence the name, in cities like Boston, New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia etc. This beautiful custom profile resembles the one of a K gutter, without the little step at the bottom.
Brownstone Gutters are bent in a brake, and therefore are offered in 10' and 20' lengths. For this reason, these gutters can also be customized, with added roof flanges, for example.
Our profiles are made to fit the K-Style and Box gutter hangers we sell and will work with most K hangers. Please refer to the submittal to ensure this will work with your favorite hanger.
K&M also supplies gutter guards / screens for all gutter profiles we offer along with all accessories needed for your gutter system.
Custom lengths, sizes and heavier gauges may be available. Please contact us for pricing.

Tapered Gutter Ends

Want to make your installation easier and achieve a cleaner look? We now offer this gutter with tapered ends. One side of the gutter is made slightly smaller, allowing it to fit inside the larger end of another gutter without the need to notch or snip away material. This not only provides a more seamless appearance but also strengthens the lap joint, making it easier to seal or solder (for materials that can be soldered).
Smaller on the Left Side: for installations where the gutter is pitched toward the left for drainage. This means the left side is lower than the right when viewed from the front. This setup is ideal for installations where water flows to the left, allowing the gutter to be installed in a water-directional manner to help avoid leaks.
Smaller on the Right Side: for installations where the gutter is pitched toward the right for drainage. This means the right side is lower than the left when viewed from the front. This configuration suits installations where water flows to the right, again supporting a directional fit to reduce the risk of leaks.
Depending on your installation, some minor on-site modifications may still be necessary.

Joining gutter lengths / seams

To put 2 lengths of gutter together, simply cut back the front bead / lip of the gutter 1" or more depending on your needs. Do the same for the hem in the back if present. Cut where needed to create tabs. Overlap the 2 lengths of the gutter and join them by soldering if possible, or with zip screws / rivets and sealer if not.
Coupling pieces can be custom manufactured if needed. Keep in mind that using a coupling piece like a cover plate gives the appearance of 2 seams. Splice plates can also be manufactured. Unlike cover plates, these sit on the inside of the gutter, giving the appearance of one seam, like overlapping 2 gutter lengths.
