6 Inch Gutters vs. 5 Inch
Since each guttering project is unique and must align with the special features and thus needs of each building, we provide 5” & 6” gutters. You can contact our company for the installation, repair, and cleaning of all gutters regardless of their size. But the question which pops here is this: why is gutter size important? And which size is best for you?
5” or 6” gutters?
Both 5” & 6” gutters are large and thus excellent for both residential and commercial properties. If you consider that gutters were 4” wide till not so long ago, you can appreciate the width of the current products. But then again, there is the question of which one is best for your building!
Although the cost of residential and commercial gutters depends on many factors, like the material and shape, 6” gutters are more expensive than 5” ones simply because they are bigger. Do you need wider gutters? It mainly depends on the roof’s material and pitch but also on the size of the downspout. The slicker and steeper the roof, the more you need 6” gutters. That’s because slick roofs make water run fast – a fact that is enhanced when the slope is steep. But it also depends on the width of the downspout. If it’s rather narrow, the wide size of the gutter will hold more water to give it time to drain down the spout.
Of course, K-style commercial and residential gutters are deep enough and so oftentimes, 5” gutters suffice. That’s especially true when the downspout is large and so water drains easy down and when the roof material and pitch don’t take too much water.
