The gutters are the most well-known aspect of the gutter system, but there are a variety of other components including the end caps, miters, downspouts, elbows, pipe cleats, gutter spikes, ferrules, and hangers. Some of these parts are only inches long, but they all work together to function flawlessly.

Box gutters are primarily used in commercial building applications but can also be installed on residential buildings. Their deep shape allows for a higher volume of water, which is great for larger facilities with lots of water runoff. Like most gutter systems, box gutters are placed at the edge of a building.

In short, 6-inch box gutters are the best for commercial buildings that are smaller than something like a warehouse and larger than the average home.

Gutter extensions are also sometimes called downspout extensions. They are simple attachments added to the ends of gutter downspouts to ensure that the rainwater is channeled away from the house. The entire gutter system is essential for your house.
