Project Spotlight: 6-Inch K-Style Aluminum “Faux Copper” Gutters with Round Downspouts – White Plains, NY
This White Plains development consists of modern homes with sleek metal roofing, making K-style gutters the perfect fit. Their flat-back, crown molding-like profile blends seamlessly with contemporary and traditional architecture alike, while the round downspouts add a distinctive finishing touch.
By choosing aluminum gutters in a copper metallic finish, the homeowners achieved the classic warmth and elegance of copper without the natural patina process that occurs with real copper.
George’s Take on This Project & Material Choice“This project was a great example of how to use faux copper the right way. When paired with metal roofing and modern architecture, the copper-colored aluminum gutters look incredible. They bring warmth and contrast without clashing with the home’s aesthetic. I always tell customers that gutters should complement a building’s design, not compete with it—and here, they do exactly that. Plus, with aluminum, you get durability and performance without the long-term upkeep of real copper.”

Faux copper gutters can be a great design choice—but only when used correctly.
“Rarely do faux copper gutters look right on private homes. The finish can sometimes clash with traditional residential architecture, making it look more artificial than intended. However, we’ve found that faux copper works exceptionally well on commercial buildings or modern residential developments where it complements the structure’s design and materials.”

For this project, the faux copper finish worked beautifully alongside the metal roofing and contemporary design, giving the development a cohesive, high-end look without the cost or upkeep of real copper.
Increased Water Capacity: The 6-inch K-style profile holds more water than standard 5-inch gutters, making it ideal for buildings with large roof surfaces or heavy rain conditions.
Durable & Low Maintenance: Aluminum resists rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Round Downspouts for a Sleek Finish: Unlike traditional rectangular downspouts, round downspouts add a unique, high-end touch to any building.
Seamless Integration with Metal Roofing: The combination of metal roofing and K-style gutters ensures efficient water drainage while enhancing the overall look of the property.
