Protect your home with seamless gutters
Rain happens—and when it does, your gutters play a critical role in protecting your home. Seamless gutters are more than just a functional necessity; they’re an investment in your home’s long-term health, safeguarding your foundation, siding, and landscaping from water damage. At KwK Seamless Gutters, we specialize in custom seamless gutter installation designed to work flawlessly for your home. With meticulous attention to detail, premium materials, and a commitment to customer satisfaction, we provide gutters that perform as well as they look.
Differences Between 5-Inch and 6-Inch Gutters
When deciding between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters, it’s essential to consider your home’s unique needs. Both sizes serve the same basic purpose but differ in capacity and application:
5-Inch Gutters: These are standard for most residential homes and are well-suited for properties with average roof sizes. They’re effective at managing water flow in typical conditions, making them a cost-effective choice for many homeowners.
6-Inch Gutters: These larger gutters are ideal for homes with steep, expansive, or metal roofs, as well as properties with extensive landscaping that needs extra protection. With 40% more capacity than 5-inch gutters, they’re better equipped to handle intense downpours without overflowing.
In Raleigh, with its heavy rains and occasional storms, we primarily recommend 6-inch gutters. They aren’t significantly more expensive but perform far better, making them a smart investment for long-term home protection.
Why We Only Use 3x4 Downspouts
At KwK Seamless Gutters, we exclusively install 3×4 downspouts for one simple reason: they’re built to perform. Unlike smaller 2×3 downspouts, which can struggle during heavy rains, 3×4 downspouts provide significantly better drainage capacity. Here’s why this matters:
Hurricane Season: In Raleigh, we’re no strangers to sudden, intense rainfall. Larger downspouts ensure that water is efficiently directed away from your home, reducing the risk of overflow and foundation damage.
Tree Coverage: With so many homes surrounded by trees, gutters can quickly become clogged with leaves and debris. The larger opening of 3×4 downspouts allows debris to flow through more easily, minimizing blockages.
Raleigh’s Climate: Our region’s mix of heavy rain and tree coverage demands a drainage system that can handle it all. By using 3×4 downspouts, we help homeowners protect their property against the unique challenges of our climate.
These larger downspouts are a critical component of a seamless gutter system designed to last and perform under all conditions.
