Half-Round Gutters
Half-round gutters feature a semicircular trough that creates a classic, elegant appearance. Popular before the 1950s, half-round gutters are now primarily chosen for historic homes or properties where architectural authenticity matters. The smooth interior allows water and debris to flow freely, though capacity is lower than K-style.
