Why You Should Choose the K-Style Gutter?cid=4

What is a K-Style Gutter?

K-style gutters have a flat bottom on the back for enhanced installation and aesthetics. The front is gracefully curved to imitate crown molding. When viewed from the side, the K-Style gutter is a mix of straight and angular lines that mildly resemble the letter K.


They are also known as OGEE gutters, which means “double curve.”


Why is K-Style Popular?


Builders tend to choose K-Style guttering because its profile blends well with modern architectural trends. Homeowners select this type for its many advantages, such as strength and excellent water flow. Due to its popularity, most manufacturers standardized their equipment to produce the K-Style gutter.


What are the Benefits of K-Style Gutters?

Standardized Manufacturing: They can be manufactured in many dimensions to accommodate any style of home.


Superb Performance: They hold and transport more rainwater than similarly sized diameters, providing excellent water flow.


Durability: The unique shape means they are less likely to bend or protrude when impacted, even when constructed from a lightweight material.


Longevity: The back or bottom is flat, which means it can be riveted directly to the house’s fascia. Brackets, like any part of a gutter system, are prone to corrosion and damage. Since this style of gutter installation doesn’t require as many brackets to keep it in place, it needs less maintenance.


Seamless: The K-Style are seamless gutters. Avoid water damage due to fewer leaks and clogs.


Material Options

Aluminum

The most common material choice is aluminum. Aluminum gutters are naturally resistant to rust. They are also the least expensive material.


Copper

Copper gives homes an elegant touch in addition to being extremely durable as they do not rust or rot. Copper is usually more expensive but longer-lasting.


Galvanized

Galvanized gutters are more resistant to water, cold, heat, physical impacts, and other weather damage.


K-Style Gutter Installation

The primary purpose of a gutter system is to prevent water damage and protect the value of your home investment long-term. Don’t take a rain check.


What Type of Gutter Protection Is Best for My Home?

There isn't a 'one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to gutter protection. There are many factors to take into account before deciding on which type of gutter guard to install:


The pitch and shingle type of your house’s roof.

The amount and type of trees on your property, especially those that overhang your guttering.


Rainfall

The type of existing gutter products you have installed. For instance, K-Style and half-round gutter systems require different solutions.
