Commercial vs. Residential Gutter

Commercial gutters are not the same as residential gutters. While the gutter materials have similarities, the sizes, the styles and their durability requirements differ. K-style gutters are often used for residential properties and U-shaped is a popular choice for copper guttering. The K-style has a profile that resembles a ‘’K’’ and looks similar to crown molding when installed by the gutter team. This style can be used for commercial buildings and provides an attractive appearance.

However, Box style gutters are most frequently used in commercial installations. Its shape allows for more water volume than a similarly sized k-style gutter. This shape gives additional protection to commercial buildings with higher water runoff. Box gutters are more prone to collecting debris, but most commercial buildings do not have large trees overhead to present a problem.

Commercial Gutter Size

The most common sizes of gutters manufactured are 5-inch and 6-inch gutters. The 5-inch gutter is most commonly used in residential applications. As commercial buildings typically have a larger roof area, and the extra runoff requires the wider 6-inch gutter size.

A smaller commercial building can install small gutter, but the rainwater volume is an important consideration. The large size gutter like 6-inch can provide additional durability needed for commercial applications. The downspout size is also a crucial factor to look upon 5-inch gutters normally use 2- by 3-inch downspouts, while commercial gutter installation 6-inch gutter systems use 3- by 4-inch downspouts. Several adaptations can be made.

Materials Used in Commercial Gutter Installation

If you want the highest durability it comes from 24-gauge galvanized steel or aluminum. Steel has exceptional durability for commercial requirements; it is heavy and must be installed by experts properly to avoid pulling away from the building under heavy use. On the other hand, aluminum gutters are lighter weight and are available in different gauges and thicknesses and will not rust easily.

Steel & Aluminum gutters have a protective coating added to reduce corrosion, add durability and provide colour. This should be done by the gutter manufacturer. Painting commercial gutters after installation are not recommended.
