When you’re having your home’s gutter system replaced, you can actually choose between two different styles: half-round or K-style. Of the two, the K-style is the more popular variant due to its affordability, easy installation, versatility and the fact that it suits modern homes much better. However, at some point, there may come a time when you need to pick half-round gutters instead.
In this post, gutter installation and metal roofing contractor Hinkle Roofing discusses when you should pick half-round gutters instead of K-style.
When Should You Choose Half-Round Gutters
As stated before, there are some instances when you’ll have to pick half-round gutters over K-style. One instance is when you’re restoring a historic home that was built before the 1950s. This is because homes that were built before this time had more rounded features and half-round gutters are the best choice you can consider to revive the home’s original look and design. Apart from that, you can also add modern features to the half-round gutter system to provide a different kind of aesthetic appeal for your home and improve the gutter system’s function.
To install a half-round gutter system in your home, simply turn to gutter and residential roofing company, Hinkle Roofing.
Benefits of Half-Round Gutters
Like K-style gutters, half-round gutters come with their own set of benefits. For instance, the inside of a half-round gutter is more smooth, meaning the metal is more difficult to corrode overtime. This same smoothness also makes it easier to clean as it is less likely for debris to pile up in the gutter system. Apart from that, if you go with its seamless design, you shouldn’t have any issues with leaking.
