Will gutter covers fit all gutters?
Answer: Most guttering can accept the new gutter covers available now. The 5-inch and 6-inch guttering works the best. Covers can also be placed over the old half-round guttering, however, the installation process is a little more labor intensive with the half-round. The only guttering that cannot be used with the covers is the sectional plastic type. Since the covers are made of aluminum, the plastic gutters simply aren't strong enough on the front edge.A cover that is installed under the first set of shingles will actually add to the appearance of your home. The cover acts as a roof over your gutters and installed properly, has a very low profile and great curb appeal. Clogged gutters cause damage and detract from the beauty of your home, whereas the covers add a finished appearance between the roof and gutters. To better add to the appearance of your home, the color of cover you choose should match your roof color rather than the gutters. This blends with the roof and looks like an extension of the roof to the edge of your gutters.
