2-step fascia gutters are meant to attach to the ends of rafters and serve as gutters as well as fascia boards. For an efficient and modern appearance, the larger depth of this form of gutter covers the sub-fascia and the soft trim.
This type of gutter is prevalent in North America, particularly on Canada’s West Coast. Many people believe that step gutters add value to homes by providing distinct aesthetic components that regular gutters do not. They are a practical home design component that may be seen in many modern structures.
This type of gutter is commonly found in homes that do not have a fascia board put at the bottom border of the roof. Fascia gutters are put directly onto the framework, with the smooth face of the gutter concealing the edge of the roof’s rafter tails. This keeps water from flowing over the edge and causing damage to the building. Because step gutters are bigger than Colonial or half-round gutters, they can manage the abrupt arrival of water and properly channel it away from your property with zero or minor overflow.
