Installation & Maintenance Tips

This installation information is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. Always follow local building codes, safety practices, and professional methods. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

Installation
  1. Measure & plan: Mark slope with a chalk line toward Downspouts; calculate high and low points for proper drainage flow.
  2. Cut & prep: Trim sections to length with hacksaw or miter saw; cut outlet holes with hole saw; seal End Caps and Miters with our Gutter Sealant.
  3. Hang & pitch: Install Hidden Hangers every 24" (18" in snow regions); maintain 1/4" drop per 10 ft toward Outlets; ensure Fascia board is secure.
  4. Attach Downspouts: Connect with 3×4" Drop Outlets and Elbows; secure joints with Hex Screws or Pop Rivets; install Splash blocks or underground extensions to move water 4-6 ft from foundation.
  5. Test system: Run water through Gutters to verify proper flow and check for leaks at all connections.

Maintenance
  1. Clean regularly: Remove debris twice yearly (spring/fall) or install Gutter Guards; flush with garden hose to clear blockages.
  2. Inspect & repair: Check seams, fasteners, and slope annually; reseal loose joints; tighten or replace loose Hangers.
  3. Winter prep: Remove ice dams promptly; consider heating cables in freeze-prone areas; trim overhanging branches.
  4. Monitor drainage: Ensure 3×4" Downspouts discharge properly; clear underground drains; maintain positive grade away from foundation.

How to Choose: 6-Inch K-Style vs Other Options

6-Inch vs 5-inch K-Style Gutters
  • 6-Inch System: Handles 40% more water flow, ideal for roofs over 1,800 sq ft, steep pitches, heavy rainfall areas, commercial buildings, or multi-story homes.
  • 5-Inch System: Standard residential choice for roofs up to 1,400 sq ft, moderate rainfall, typical home applications, and cost-effective drainage solutions.

K-Style Aluminum vs Other Options
  • Half Round profiles are a better fit for historic/high-end looks with smooth interiors
  • Box profiles are better for commercial/hidden rooflines
  • Copper is premium and long-lived but higher cost and requires soldering
  • Galvanized steel is strong but can rust and often needs paint

Best Choice: Use 6-Inch K-Style Gutters for large roof areas over 1,800 sq ft, steep pitches, heavy rainfall regions, or commercial applications where maximum drainage capacity is essential. Choose 5-Inch K-Style Gutters for standard residential homes with typical roof sizes and moderate rainfall conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

How long can my Gutters be?

If you're picking up, we can make your seamless gutter as long as you need. As long as it can be safely loaded and secured on your truck or trailer, we'll produce it to your exact length. Longer, one-piece runs reduce seams and help prevent leaks. Please bring adequate racks and tie-downs; our team will assist with loading.

Is .032" gauge necessary for 6-Inch systems?

Yes, the .032" gauge is recommended for 6-Inch Systems due to the increased water volume and span requirements. The heavier gauge provides necessary structural integrity for large capacity Gutters and prevents sagging under load.

Do you offer custom colors?

Yes — our 20+ stock colors, or we can roll your own custom color coil for special orders and large projects.

Are 6-Inch Seamless Gutters worth the investment?

Absolutely — they will maximize drainage capacity and minimize maintenance while improving appearance and preventing water damage over time, especially for large roofs and high-rainfall areas.

Can I install these myself?

Experienced DIYers can follow our general step-by-step guide above. We can also help guide you to professional installers near your area for complex installations or warranty coverage.
