Half-round & copper

Soldered copper and half-round gutters for older houses

From
How long
Two to four days for most houses

Some houses deserve better than a K-style gutter. A brick Tudor, a Victorian with deep eaves or an old farmhouse looks right with half-round gutters on brackets, and best of all in copper, which turns a deep brown and lasts longer than the roof.

Copper is slower work: every seam and every outlet is soldered by hand, the brackets are set every 24 inches, and the downspouts are round with leader heads where a valley dumps a lot of water. We hang half-rounds in aluminium too, for the look at a lower price.

Questions

Will copper turn green?

Slowly. New copper turns a deep brown within a year or two, and in our wet air it can take twenty years or more to grow the blue-green patina. It never needs painting.

Is half-round only for copper?

No: we hang half-round in aluminium too, in any of our colours. It suits older houses and carries a little less water than a K-style gutter of the same width.
