Types of Gutters | 5K, 6K & Fascia Gutters Explained
When it comes to replacing your gutters, one of the first decisions you’ll make is choosing the right gutter profile. While many homeowners assume all gutters are the same, different styles and sizes can improve both the appearance and performance of your home’s drainage system.
At JT West Coast Gutter & Roofing, we offer four primary gutter profiles, along with multiple downspout sizes and dozens of custom color options to match your home.
Regular Fascia Gutters
Regular fascia gutters feature a clean, straight front that blends well with modern homes and contemporary architecture. They provide a sleek appearance while efficiently directing rainwater away from your roof and foundation.
This profile is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a clean, understated look without sacrificing performance.
Best for:
- Modern and contemporary homes
- Homeowners wanting a clean architectural appearance
- New construction and remodels
JT’s Fascia Gutters (Oversized Fascia)
JT’s Fascia Gutters are our larger-capacity fascia gutter system. They offer the same clean appearance as our regular fascia gutters but are designed to handle more water during Oregon’s heavy rainstorms.
The larger profile makes them an excellent choice for homes with:
- Large roof sections
- Steeper roof pitches
- Metal roofing
- Areas that experience heavy rainfall
If you’re looking for extra drainage capacity without changing to a K-style gutter, JT’s Fascia Gutters are an excellent option.
5″ K-Style Gutters
The 5-inch K-style gutter is the most common residential gutter profile in the United States.
Its decorative front resembles crown molding, making it a popular choice for traditional homes. Despite its compact size, it handles the majority of residential roof systems very well.
For many homes, a 5″ K-style gutter provides the perfect balance of appearance, capacity, and value.
Best for:
- Most residential homes
- Standard roof sizes
- Traditional home designs
