K-style is the most popular style of gutters on the market today. When viewed from the side, this style of guttering resembles the letter K, hence the name, as opposed to the traditional half-circle-shaped gutter. Read on as one of the premier gutter and window companies in the area shares a few facts about K-style gutters.
Like other types of gutters, K-style gutters come in a range of sizes. The two most common sizes are five-inch and six-inch, although custom sizes are also available in some regions. While this type of guttering is typically made of aluminum, other products made of copper, vinyl, galvanized steel are not uncommon to find.
K-style gutters provide a distinct set of advantages over half-round gutters. First, the gutter profile holds more water than its counterpart with an equivalent diameter. Also, because of its unique shape, it is less likely to be affected by impact, making it stronger even when lightweight materials are utilized, according to an exterior home improvement specialist. There is one downside, however. K-style gutters have more sharp edges where debris can collect, and are more demanding to clean than half-round gutters.
A common reason behind the popularity of K-style gutters in America is that they slightly resemble the crown molding that is found on interior ceilings. Therefore, home builders tend to choose this profile because it complements modern architectural designs. Another reason is many contractors have portable gutter-making machines which enable them to produce seamless K-gutters from aluminum sheets.
