Half Round Gutters

Just like the name implies, half-round gutters look like you took a fully-enclosed pipe and cut it in half lengthwise. A “true” half-round gutter section has curled-top outer edges on both sides, although you can purchase these types of gutters where the outer edge has a curled top on only one side.

The smoothness of 1/2 round gutters reduces the likelihood of corrosion, since there are fewer areas where wetness can form. In addition, their smooth surface allows waterborne debris to flow more freely instead of getting caught on rough edges or sides, which can lead to clogs over time. 1/2 round gutters are also very easy to clean.
