Read on to learn the difference between the two profiles and which one is best for your home. 

K-Style Gutters

The most widely-used gutters in the U.S., K-style gutters can hold more water than half-round ones. Because of its shape, these gutters are also less likely to bend due to force, making them stronger even when they are made of lighter materials. 

Another reason you should choose this style for your  gutter installation  is that it can boost the appeal of your home. They look like the beautiful crown molding found on interior ceilings. Contractors also prefer them since they suit modern homes better. Moreover, the seamless finish of K-style gutters make them less vulnerable to leaks, helping you avoid water damage. 

Half-Round Gutters

You’ll usually see half-round gutters in homes with metal roofs and houses built before the 50s. This gutter style is a great option if you’re working on a home restoration project and want to restore the beauty of your humble abode while staying historically accurate. 

However, they can be harder to install than K-style gutters since they need more brackets. These gutters also don’t lay flat along the roof’s edge. Sometimes, the brackets used for them can be costlier than the ones used for K-style gutters.
