Rain gutters are used widely in commercial buildings such as schools, healthcare facilities, offices, restaurants, shopping complexes, and malls. Depending on city or county regulations, commercial buildings usually have different legal or building code requirements. For residences, K-style or U-shaped are often used, with U-shaped being a popular choice for copper rain guttering. The K-style, when installed, looks similar to crown molding. For commercial applications, K-style can be used to provide an attractive appearance. Box gutters are frequently used in commercial installations since this shape allows for more volume of water than a similar-sized K-style gutter. Various other materials used for manufacturing commercial rain gutters are explained below.

• The 24-gauge galvanized steel or heavy aluminum provides the highest durability. For commercial purposes, steel offers extraordinary durability. Aluminum is available in various gauges and thicknesses.
• Copper rain gutters are frequently used in residential applications. Copper develops a patina, which adds a unique look to the building or property. Copper can also be used for commercial properties and may provide a distinct look required by the building or area.
• Vinyl is not normally used for commercial gutters. It is a low-cost residential guttering option.

In addition, the growth of the UK rain gutter market can be attributed to the expected rise in the construction of high-rise buildings in tier-II cities, hypermarkets, shopping complexes, and malls across the UK in the coming years.
