The 5" K-style gutter is the most commonly used option for residential homes. Its name comes from its shape, which resembles the letter "K" when viewed from the side.
Pros
Curb Appeal: The decorative profile of K-style gutters complements various types of home and adds a touch of elegance to the home’s exterior.
Water Management: The flat bottom and angular sides allow for efficient water flow and debris shedding, reducing the risk of clogs.
Longevity: Made from materials like aluminum or galvanized steel, these gutters are built to last and withstand harsh weather conditions.
Cons
Capacity: The 5″ size may not be suitable for larger roofs or areas with heavy rainfall, potentially leading to overflow issues.
