Gutters work to keep your home dry and damage-free by catching the rainwater running down your roof and directing it away. But when they’re already rusted and leaking, they won’t be able to do this crucial task effectively. A replacement will be the better decision, but what type of gutter style should you go for? Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, the area’s trusted gutter and window installers, discusses the two most popular options, K-style and half-round, and offers a brief comparison.
Are K-Style Gutters Better?
This specific gutter style is designed to emulate the look of Colonial-style crown molding, providing a lovely and finished look for your home. K-style gutters are a great option on angled roofing systems. Because they are flat on one side, they will attach more firmly to the fascia board. This means they’ll be using fewer brackets and accessories. The sleek design of K-style gutters lends itself well to both traditional and modern homes.
Should You Choose Half-Round Gutters?
If you’re looking to preserve the look of your historic home, you should consider half-round gutters. They resemble a tube that has been cut in half. Their symmetrical U-shape complements the rounded architectural features of many older homes beautifully. Half-round gutters also have fewer areas where water can gather, reducing the risk of corrosion and congestion. Plus, they are easier to clean compared to K-style gutters. Ask one of the area’s trusted gutter and window replacement contractors, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, if they’ll be a good fit for your home.
