While in some areas of the country 6-inch is becoming the new ‘standard’ size gutter, in some situations, it is not big enough. In these cases, 7-inch or 8-inch gutters can be offered. For example, climates that receive large amounts of rain and/or heavy rainfall or have a roof style that requires a wide gutter system to collect rainwater, and homes that have varying gutter heights are great candidates for a larger gutter system. These large gutter sizes are available on a location basis only. Please inquire about the specifics of participating locations.
WHEN TO CONSIDER A 7-INCH GUTTER:
- In need of more protection against water damage
- Capacity of water flowing to gutters higher than what a 6-inch gutter can handle
- Lower gutters that have upper gutters draining into them
- Tile, Concrete Shingles, or Spanish style roofs with longer overhangs require a wider gutter
- Areas with a significant amount of rainfall
Our blog Gutter Sizes – 7 Inch Gutter Systems goes into further detail about each of these examples.
