Gutters 101
Gutters direct rain and melting snow away from your home to keep water from leaking into the home’s roof, foundation or interior walls. When gutters become clogged with debris, twigs and leaves the primary function of the gutter is at risk of causing serious problems. Again, this is why Gutter Helmet gutter guards are vital to the overall success of your home.

But If You Must Get New Gutters Consider This

Gutter Helmet will fit on any gutter size or type, and comes in several finishes to match the style of your home. In some cases, gutters considered for the Gutter Helmet upgrade do not meet the standards due to age or quality and require replacing the gutters or the new Gutter Helmet system will not work properly.

Choosing the perfect gutter is not just about finding the ideal color match to your home. There are actually many mitigating factors when choosing gutters, including: material type, style, color, size, coatings and of course price!

Gutters are made with a variety of materials including vinyl, aluminum, steel or the cadillac of gutters - copper. The right materials must be able to with stand the weather in your area and meet the style you want for your home or building.

Gutters also come in several styles, including: K-Style Gutters, Half Round Gutters, Seamless Gutters, Fascia Gutters, and Sectional Gutters.

FYI as an example: K-gutters will hold more water than a rounded gutter with an equal size diameter due to their unique shape and are stronger, even when manufactured with lighter materials. However, K-gutters have more sharp edges which debris tends to catch or accumulate around, making them harder to keep clean or be cleaned than rounded gutters.
