A Guide to Rain Gutters

Rain gutters perform a critical task for your home. Gutters route the water runoff from your roof whenever it rains, draining it away from your house, protecting the home's siding, windows and doors from water damage.

There are two basic gutter shapes: K-style gutters which have flat bottoms and back and a front side with a curved or decorative shape and half-round gutters which as the name implies, are half-round shaped tubes. Half-round gutters are usually found on older, historic homes.

Gutters can be made from a variety of materials including aluminum, steel, copper, vinyl or zinc.

Downspouts are vertical pipes that are used to divert rain water away from a buildings foundation. They come as either round or square, in widths from 3 to 6 inches.

Gutters are usually installed on existing roofs but if you don't have one and are thinking about doing a re-roofing project, now may be a good time to have gutters and downspouts insulted.
