Size Of Seamless Aluminum Gutters
In certain regions, seamless aluminum gutters with a smaller width are commonly used, though wider gutters are gaining popularity. Additionally, seamless aluminum gutters are available in larger sizes and are generally designed for industrial or commercial applications.
The difference between gutter sizes is the capacity of water they can hold. If you often experience heavy rainfall and/or rainwater continually overshoots your gutter system, a wider gutter system may be the best for your home.
In addition to climate, the roofline, surface area, and pitch of your roof are essential factors in determining which gutter size is appropriate. In some cases, using two different gutter sizes within the same system can provide a cost-effective way to address areas that require greater water-carrying capacity.
Gutter Sizes & Volume Capacity: Is There a Standard Size?
Breaking the Mold: Reshaping Standard Sizes
The standard size for residential seamless gutters depends mainly on your region of the country and your home’s size and style. Many homeowners are upgrading to 6″, 7″, or even 8″ ‘oversized’ gutters. Though a 6″ gutter is only an inch bigger than a 5″, it can handle 40% more water. Sometimes, larger or “oversized” gutters are necessary on your home or a specific portion of your roofline.
