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.

The Benefits of Gutters

Gutters aren’t just a “nice to have” accessory, a gutter system is an important part of your home’s maintenance. Properly installed gutters play an important role in keeping water out of your basement. Gutters catch water coming off your roof and channel it well away from your home’s foundation so it won’t leak into walls and basements causing water damage or a musty damp smell, or worse yet, mold in your home’s interior and exterior.  Installing long seamless gutters or decorative gutters like copper, is best left to the professionals at Gutter Helmet of WNC. We install seamless aluminum gutters to match your home’s exterior and properly install them so they carry rain water safely away from your home.

Asheville’s Best Gutter System Installed in Just one Day!

In the Asheville, NC area, the median home value is $293,000 - a big investment that you need to protect. Few homeowners think about how gutters and downspouts affect their home. The truth is, a good guttering system, combined with the right covers/guards, can literally save you from thousands of dollars in structural damage.

Rain gutters are a simple way to channel rainwater off of your roof and away from your home. They protect your home from damage because they keep water from constantly running down the sides of the house, or going on the fascia boards and rafters. Homes without gutters are susceptible to:

·         Damage to current landscaping

·         Foundation damage

·         Wood rot

·         Black mold

·         Damage to walkway

·         Damage to the driveway

·         Shingle and roof damage

·         Erosion of masonry

·         Damage to paint

Without gutters, a home’s structure and foundation are compromised. Homes with poorly designed downspouts or homes without any will have rainwater collect and pool underneath the roof. This eventually weakens the foundation, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Replacing damaged roofs, siding and other areas of your home can be very expensive to say the least.

It’s simple and inexpensive to have gutters installed, when compared to the cost of repairing the above mentioned damage. Today, gutters and downspouts come in many different colors and designs. Seamless gutters and Gutter Helmets, have made installing and maintaining guttering systems much easier than ever before.
