When to CONSIDER A
6-INCH GUTTER
We’ve witnessed a significant rise in installations of 6″ seamless gutters in recent years. Given the considerable variation in roof pitch among homes, it is crucial to design a custom gutter system that suits your specific roof. The pitch greatly affects how rainwater flows into the gutters, and many homeowners have found their smaller 5″ gutters overflow during heavy rain. 6-inch gutters can handle approximately 40% more volume than a 5″ gutter system. Below are additional factors that need to be considered when deciding between 5-inch and 6-inch gutters for residential housing.

Posted on Google6 Inch Gutters Questions, Answered
Upgrade when a run over 40 feet has only one downspout, a run is longer than 60 feet, a lower gutter collects water from an upper roof, or an inside valley sends fast-moving water over the edge in rain. Metal roofs and large roofs that concentrate runoff into a short run are also 6 inch candidates.
About 40 percent more volume than a 5 inch gutter. Paired with 3 by 4 inch downspouts, that extra room is what lets a long run keep up when an atmospheric river parks over the East Bay, instead of spilling at the corners.
Yes. A 6 inch gutter takes on more water, so it is typically paired with a 3 by 4 inch downspout rather than the standard 2 by 3. Downspouts are where the water leaves the system, so undersizing them wastes the extra capacity of the bigger gutter.
Because roof pitch varies so much from home to home, and many owners have watched 5 inch gutters overflow during heavy rain. Steep roofs push water into the gutter fast, and 6 inch installations have risen significantly in recent years as a result. A custom design matched to your pitch is the reliable answer.
Yes. Metal roofs are on the list of roofs that call for 6 inch gutters, because water slides off the panels quickly during a downpour. The wider trough catches that water instead of letting it overshoot the edge and land against the house.
Not much. The K-style profile keeps the same shape, only one inch larger, and on two-story homes and larger rooflines it looks proportional. Colors can be matched to your trim so the gutter blends in. A Solutionist can show both sizes during the free estimate.
