Cost & Durability: Specialty Gutters vs. Aluminum Gutters
Specialty gutters may be a more costly initial expenditure, yet their extended durability and reduced upkeep costs can make them an economical choice in the long run. Alternatively, traditional aluminum gutters are also a great selection that come at a slightly lower price point than specialty options.

Selecting the appropriate type of downspout material for the look you are wanting to achieve is often the most important part of the process. Galvalume gutters are a fantastic option if you’re aiming for a more rustic aesthetic. Galvanized or aluminum gutters offer a more modern appearance.

What Are K-Style And Half-Round Gutters And What Is The Difference?
When looking for home gutters, the two main options are K-style and half-round. Half-round gutters may be more expensive due to their high-end aesthetic, however both styles are available in all materials. Due to the higher price point, half-round are typically considered to be specialty gutters.
When selecting gutters for their home, many clients are unaware that there are various options to choose from. For instance, 5″ and 6″ models of gutters can be used as radius gutters. This type serves to form a semi-circle around certain parts of the house.
