They're essential for historic restoration projects, custom homes, and premium gutter systems where appearance and performance matter. K-style outlets won't fit properly or provide the same water management efficiency in half round systems.

Choose white aluminum for clean, traditional homes and modern applications. Select galvanized steel for industrial or utilitarian applications where durability is paramount.
