CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
As a custom home builder specializing in luxury properties, I insist on using 6" K-Style gutters for all our projects. The increased capacity is essential for protecting these high-value homes, especially in our region's heavy rainfall. The thicker aluminum and larger profile create a substantial, premium appearance that complements our architectural designs. The wide range of color options allows us to perfectly match or accent each home's unique exterior palette.
Thomas R.
Custom Home Builder
After experiencing gutter overflow during heavy storms with our previous 5" gutters, we upgraded to these 6" K-Style gutters. The difference is remarkable! Even during the most intense downpours, our gutters handle the water flow perfectly. We chose the bronze color to complement our cedar siding, and the aesthetic upgrade is as impressive as the performance improvement. The professional installation was worth every penny, and we now have complete peace of mind during storm season.
Jennifer M.
Homeowner
Our home sits on a steep hillside with a complex roof design that channels a tremendous amount of water during rainstorms. After trying 5" gutters that consistently overflowed, we installed these 6" K-Style gutters with 3x4" downspouts. The system now handles even the heaviest rainfall without a problem. The larger profile actually looks more proportional on our large home, and the forest green color blends beautifully with our wooded setting. This is definitely a case where bigger is better!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I know if I need 6" gutters instead of 5" gutters?
A: 6" K-Style gutters are recommended in several specific situations: 1) Homes with large roof areas exceeding 2,500 square feet; 2) Properties in regions with heavy rainfall or frequent intense storms; 3) Homes with steep roof pitches that shed water quickly; 4) Situations where existing 5" gutters consistently overflow during heavy rain; 5) Architectural designs where a more substantial gutter profile is aesthetically desirable. While 5" gutters are sufficient for most standard homes, 6" gutters provide additional capacity and peace of mind for demanding applications. Our team can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the optimal size based on your home's dimensions, roof design, local climate conditions, and aesthetic preferences.
Q: What are the advantages of 6" gutters over 5" gutters?
A: 6" K-Style gutters offer several significant advantages over standard 5" gutters: 1) Increased Capacity - They provide nearly 50% more water capacity (11.1 vs. 7.7 square inches), handling up to 1.8 inches of rainfall per hour; 2) Superior Performance - They can accommodate water from larger roof areas up to 3,800 square feet; 3) Heavier Construction - They're typically made from thicker .032" aluminum for enhanced durability; 4) Fewer Overflows - They're less likely to overflow during intense downpours; 5) Architectural Statement - They create a more substantial, premium appearance that complements larger homes; 6) Fewer Downspouts - Their increased capacity may allow for fewer downspout locations. While 6" gutters typically cost more than 5" gutters, the additional investment provides superior protection for your home and landscaping, potentially preventing costly water damage and foundation issues.
Q: Do 6" gutters require special installation considerations?
A: Yes, 6" K-Style gutters have several special installation requirements due to their larger size and increased water capacity: 1) Closer Hanger Spacing - They require hangers every 24 inches (compared to 24-30 inches for 5" gutters) to support the additional weight when filled with water; 2) Larger Downspouts - They work best with 3x4" downspouts rather than standard 2x3" downspouts to accommodate the increased water flow; 3) Stronger Fascia Support - The fascia board must be in good condition and securely attached to support the additional weight; 4) Professional Installation - Due to their size, weight, and specific requirements, professional installation is strongly recommended for 6" gutters. These considerations ensure your 6" gutter system performs optimally and provides long-lasting protection for your home.
Q: Are 6" gutters compatible with standard gutter accessories?
A: 6" K-Style gutters require accessories specifically designed for their larger size. Standard 5" accessories will not fit properly. We offer a complete line of 6" accessories including end caps, drop outlets, miters, hangers, and downspout adapters that are specifically sized for 6" gutters. Additionally, 6" gutters work best with 3x4" downspouts rather than the standard 2x3" downspouts used with 5" gutters. When planning your 6" gutter project, be sure to select accessories specifically labeled for 6" K-Style gutters. Our team can help you identify all the necessary components for your specific installation to ensure a complete, properly functioning system.
Q: What maintenance do 6" gutters require?
A: 6" K-Style gutters require the same basic maintenance as standard gutters, though their larger capacity may reduce the frequency of cleaning in some cases. Regular maintenance includes: 1) Cleaning - Remove leaves, debris, and buildup at least twice a year (spring and fall) and more frequently if you have many trees near your home; 2) Inspection - Check for proper slope, secure fasteners, and sealed joints annually; 3) Downspout Clearing - Ensure downspouts remain clear and water flows freely away from your foundation; 4) Hanger Check - Verify that hangers remain securely attached, as the increased weight of water in 6" gutters can stress connections over time; 5) Sealant Inspection - Check and reseal any joints as needed. To reduce maintenance requirements, consider installing gutter guards designed specifically for 6" gutters, which help prevent debris accumulation while allowing water to flow freely.
REGIONAL RAINFALL GUIDE
Understanding your region's typical rainfall patterns is crucial for selecting the appropriate gutter system. This guide helps you determine if 6" K-Style gutters are recommended for your location based on average annual rainfall.

6" K-Style gutters are recommended for larger homes (2,500+ sq. ft. roof area) or homes with steep roof pitches.
High Rainfall Regions (50-70" annually)
6" K-Style gutters are strongly recommended for most homes, especially those with roof areas over 2,000 sq. ft.

For homes in high or very high rainfall regions, or for larger homes with roof areas exceeding 2,500 square feet in any region, 6" K-Style gutters provide optimal protection against water damage. Their increased capacity ensures effective water management even during the most intense downpours, protecting your home's foundation, landscaping, and exterior. While they represent a higher initial investment, the superior performance and durability of 6" gutters make them the preferred choice for demanding applications and discerning homeowners.
