Your home's gutter system is one of the most important parts of your home. It redirects water away from your foundation and the rest of your home exteriors, preventing moisture damage in the process. Otherwise, the structural integrity of your home will be compromised, leading to costly repairs and replacements.
While there is a wide variety of gutter styles to choose from, K-style gutters are worth considering. K-style gutters are not only the most popular choice among homeowners, but they are also durable and reliable. Versatile Roofing, LLC shares what makes K-style gutters different from the rest.
What Are K-Style Gutters?
K-style gutters are also known as ogee gutters because of their S-shaped contour seen from the sides. The outer edge consists of a straight line from the bottom, then two opposing curves, followed by another straight line. K-style gutters are often made with aluminum, but you may find other types such as copper, vinyl, or galvanized steel.
Furthermore, K-style gutters are the most common type of gutter used in North America. Most contractors tend to install these gutters because their style blends well with both traditional and modern home architectures. Not only that, but K-style gutters are also known for their extremely durable features. In fact, thanks to their shape, they don't bend, bow or sag easily, especially when subjected to intense force.
What Are the Benefits of K-Style Gutters?
-
Ease of Installation - K-style gutters have a flat back side, which means they can be nailed directly into the fascia board. This means you don't have to install plenty of brackets to keep them in place.
-
Seamless Finish - K-style gutters also provide a seamless finish, which makes your gutters less prone to water damage such as leaks than other types of gutters.
-
Capability to Hold More Water Runoff - K-style gutters hold more water compared to round-style gutters or any other types of gutters.
