FAQs
What are the available lengths for K-Style gutters?
Any length for pickup on 5" and 6", and 10' and 20' for shipping. 10' and 20' on 7", 8" and any other custom sizes.
How do I join two pieces of gutter?
To put 2 lengths of gutter together, simply cut back the front bead / lip of one of the gutter lengths by 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 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. Both are special order items.
Do all buildings and houses need gutters?
No. Gutter systems may not be needed for some building structures and for some areas with certain climates where heavy rain is not an issue. Mostly everyone else will need a gutter good gutter system that is able to collect water from storms and rains and direct it properly through leader heads and pipes to the ground level rather than having all that water off the roof landing directly on the ground, which will cause damage.
What problems can having no gutters cause?
Soil erosion. This is very important. It can cause the foundation of a home to be uneven which will directly affect the level of floors, as well as crack chimneys and walls which could eventually even bring a structure down. You can purchase gutters and accessories directly on our website.
What size downspout should I use?
The typical, but not necessarily a rule, is to use 2x3 with 5", 3x4 with 6" and 4x5 with 7".
How to deal with clogged gutters?
Having a good gutter system that is clogged is as good as having no gutters. You should always make sure your gutters are free from debris with a gutter screen or free from leaves with a downspout cleanout , specially in the fall, allowing for the water to freely run its course through the gutter system.
What type of gutter should I choose?
First you need to look at the volume of water coming of your roof to decide which type of gutter and size is necessary for your application. Mostly it is always a good idea to go oversize to avoid any surprises. We offer half round gutters, custom gutters, box gutters and k-style gutters.
What's the best gutter profile?
The best profile is the one that works as intended for the best price.
