Gutters-galvanized-aluminum- half round or K

I am trying to decide on Gutters in central New Jersey- Half Round galvanized would fit the converted barn/home best. But three questions 1.Is half round good at catching water off of a 40'wide x 35' foot roof with a 10/12 pitch with the gutters on the 40' and with two downspouts on each side. or are 6" k's the best bet. and 2. does the the galvanized really not last as long as aluminum? and 3.can i really seal the joints well enough so they won't leak so that i don't need seamless aluminum Thanks

Go to Classicgutters.com and look at their products. Galvalume works well and they ship up to 26 foot lengths. You could get two 20 foot sections and pitch it both ways from the middle. 4" round downspout will carry away the water with no problems. My Brother Augustin owns the company and around here, I bought one of his machines so that we can provide "chop and drop" services for gutter guys and contractors plus homeowners. I have a job to run next week of about 500 feet plus downspouts and the longest piece is 92 feet. Seamless half round is the way to go. It drains better and it looks better too. You will love the look of a half round galvalume on the barn. We have done about 3 of them so far. 1 269-665-2700 if you prefer to call on the phone.

Either will work fine in 6". Choice may depend on the fascia, and/or attachmnet options. and 2. does the the galvanized really not last as long as aluminum? No, it doesn't. and 3.can i really seal the joints well enough so they wont leak so that i dont need seamless aluminum. You can seal it if you are good at soldering. If not, forget it. When it starts rusting, or even before, the joints will shortly follow. Thanks
