What is a Half Round Gutter?

1/2 Round Aluminum Gutter

Half round gutters are a good choice for some homes. Half round gutters look just like they sound: a round tube cut in half. But since this is the classic gutter style used for centuries in Europe and America, half-round (1/2 round) gutters are standard or proper etiquette for many prestige custom homes. Usually when you see a stunning copper gutter system, it will feature the classic half-round profile. Thus half-round rain gutters are primarily used in custom homes and, nationally, account for about 10 percent of the gutter market.

Yet half-round gutters are now such a prestige item that manufacturers have developed roll-forming machines to make half-round gutters out of aluminum. Thus the half-round style is migrating into the mid-range housing market as an “upgrade” item. With their classic simplicity, the half-round profile goes with virtually any style of home architecture. And in contrast to copper half-rounds that are installed with semicircular wraparound hangers, the aluminum variety is slightly altered so that installers can use the same standard hangers they use for ordinary K-style gutters.

As for the performance of half-round gutters, there is some debate. Some say that a rounded profile won’t hold as much water as the more squared-off K-style gutter. But others believe that, while a K-style gutter the water spreads to the outer edges of the squared-off trough, as a rounded profile directs water to the bottom point of the trough and thus improves flow.

How is Gutter Helmet Different from Other Gutter Protection Systems?

The difference between Gutter Helmet lies in the patented design and overall effectiveness of the product. Gutter Helmet has been time tested over twenty five years. That’s why we are ranked as America’s best and #1 gutter protection system. Most gutter cover products use a screen with vertical openings or foam. These small openings in the screen collect small debris such as pine needles, and tree droppings that can clog the holes in the gutter cover and keep them from working effectively at capturing rain water.

Gutter Helmet’s multi-patented solid gutter cover design has no small openings making it impossible for small debris to enter your gutters or clog the cover. Gutter Helmet’s design uses “surface tension”, to draw water into a small slit on the side of the helmet, while pushing leaves around, over and down.  To see surface tension at work, hold a water glass under a running faucet and watch it run over the curved surface of the glass. The water flows around the outside of the glass. Leaves and debris fall to the ground, while water surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive lid design and into your gutters where it can drain away from your home.

Cleaning Clogged Gutter Downspouts

Tips for Cleaning Clogged Gutter Downspouts

If you’ve managed to get through the task of cleaning out clogged gutters, then the next step is to make sure that the downspouts run freely. If they don’t, you probably have a blockage in the downspout itself. Try dislodging it by running a hose down the spout. The water pressure shouldn’t be too strong—you don’t want to blow it up. If it’s still tight, use a plumbing snake to clear it.

If there are angled joints, you may need to remove the downspout from the gutter to clear it. If you break a seal, clean the old caulk off with a wire brush and then apply silicone caulk to reseal. Reattach the clean, sealed downspout. Install downspout strainers to trap debris so you can clean it easily and prevent knots of debris from blocking them. Cleaning gutters and downspouts is something most homeowners dread doing.
