The Difference Between 5″ and 6″ Gutters
Gutters are an important yet often overlooked part of a well-maintained, functional home. Whether you are looking to replace your existing gutters or simply shop for new ones, one decision you will need to make while gutter shopping is to determine the size of gutters you want and need.
Picking the Right Gutter Size
When it comes to gutters in residential areas, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are several factors that come into play while deciding the best-suited size and style of seamless gutters for your house. Some factors are the type and style of your house, the frequency and intensity of rainfall in your area, land grade, roof pitch, etc.

Benefits of Investing in Seamless Gutters by Aqua Werx
- Durability: Seamless gutters are becoming an increasingly popular choice for all the right reasons. These gutters have done away with the weakest point of traditional gutters—the seams—which has allowed them to be sturdier and significantly less prone to leaks.
- Custom-fit: The seamless gutters by Aqua Werx will be customized to fit the exact dimension of your roof line, which will make the entire installation process hassle-free and quick.
- Sophisticated Look: Since seamless gutters are customized, there are no gaps or fasteners diminishing their overall appearance. We also offer a wide variety of color options, which can be used to boost their aesthetic appeal.
What Do the Different Size Choices Offer?
5-Inch Seamless Gutters
- Can be used in tight spaces where 6” gutters may not fit.
- For example, Aqua Werx has installed 5” gutters between the house and an added carport or patio addition. These additions that are installed after homes are built, don’t always consider gutter size and fit; therefore some homes need the smaller sized gutter to fit the desired space.
6-Inch Seamless Gutters
- Aesthetic appearance
- Can handle significantly more water flow than a smaller gutter
- A great choice for larger houses and places receiving heavy rainfall
- Can be installed with fewer downspouts
- Minimizes the possibility of overflow
