Gutter Specs
The size of your gutters can significantly impact their performance and suitability for your home. Here’s a breakdown of the differences and benefits of 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch gutters:
5-Inch Gutters
- Common Use: Typically used in residential homes.
- Capacity: Can handle a moderate amount of water, suitable for smaller roofs or areas with less rainfall.
- Benefits: More affordable and easier to install. Ideal for homes with smaller roof planes and less steep pitches.
6-Inch Gutters
- Common Use: Often used in both residential and commercial properties.
- Capacity: Can handle about 50% more water than 5-inch gutters, making them suitable for larger roofs or areas with heavy rainfall12.
- Benefits: Less likely to clog due to larger size, better for homes with steep roof pitches or extended roof overhangs12.
7-Inch Gutters
- Common Use: Primarily used in commercial buildings or large residential homes.
- Capacity: Can handle a significantly larger volume of water, ideal for very large roofs or areas with extremely heavy rainfall2.
- Benefits: Provides maximum water management, reducing the risk of overflow and water damage. Suitable for homes with extensive roof areas and high water flow2.
Choosing the right size depends on factors like the size and pitch of your roof, the amount of rainfall in your area, and your specific water management needs. Consulting with a professional can help you make the best decision for your home.
