Getting to Know the Type
About Half-Round Gutters
Half-round gutters use a rounded trough that has been common on homes for generations. The open shape carries water smoothly and pairs well with a range of hangers and downspout styles.
Finding the Right Fit
Where it works well
Half-round gutters suit traditional, heritage and period homes, and can also work on modern builds where a softer profile is preferred. They need hangers that match the rounded profile and a fascia in good condition.

Planning Your Project
Assessment and installation
We measure the runs, check the fascia and confirm the pitch and downspout positions. Because the profile is open, correct support spacing matters. The quote covers the gutter, hangers, outlets and any related repairs.
Looking After Your System
Care and maintenance
Remove debris regularly and check that hangers hold the profile straight. Inspect seams and outlets after heavy rain and repair any loose brackets promptly.
