Quad 150 High Front

This is currently the most popular gutter used on new homes. It has the traditional rounded look (like the old gutters you used to see on colonial style homes). Quad 150 High Front also has the advantage of having over-flow slots so that in the event of extremely heavy down-pours, the gutter water will over-flow out of the slots at the front of the gutter instead of out the back of the gutter.
