Modern Curb Appeal: Black Half-Round Gutters on a Brookfield, CT Contemporary Home
We recently had the opportunity to complete a striking gutter installation on a modern home in Brookfield, CT, where sleek architectural design meets smart, high-performance functionality. This unique home, featuring a blend of plaster and wood paneling, was the perfect candidate for a bold, contemporary gutter system. Our team installed 6-inch black half-round gutters—a style that continues to grow in popularity across Fairfield County for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
In this project, we used oversized 6-inch gutters from our oversized gutter collection to handle larger water volumes. This is especially important for modern homes with flatter rooflines, which can create more runoff during storms.
The choice of black gutters and downspouts was key to the visual impact. These gutters are made of seamless aluminum and finished with a baked-on enamel coating that protects them from the elements and delivers long-lasting color. As explained on our black gutters page, black gutters offer more than just style—they help reduce energy costs by absorbing heat and can even reduce ice dams in the winter.
