Round Downspouts or Rectangular?

Exploring the Benefits and Options of Round Downspouts for K-Style Gutters

Round downspouts are a go-to for half-round gutters, but what about K or Ogee style gutters?

For K-style gutters, you usually see 2 x 3 rectangular downspouts, which are the norm. But hey, you can also use 3" round downspouts on a five-inch seamless rain gutter. Switching to a round downspout can give your gutter system a cool and stylish look!

The 3" round downspouts have a bigger volume than the 2 x 3 ones. They can handle more water, work well with round PVC underground drainpipes, and have fewer spots for debris to get stuck.

Round downspouts do cost more than rectangular ones because they’re trickier to install and cost more to make.

You can get round downspouts in copper, pre-finished aluminum colors, galvanized, and zinc. They come in 3-inch and 4-inch sizes, with 3 inches being the most popular and easy to find.
