Level Gutters on Angled Fascia with Gutter Wedges
Share
Why Wedges Matter When Fascia Is Not Straight
Installers know that not all fascia boards are perfectly vertical. When fascia leans or is canted, the gutter ends up tilted, which compromises drainage, invites sagging and can reduce the lifespan of the system. Gutter wedges give you the ability to correct that tilt and ensure your gutter hangs level relative to the ground and roofline.
The Gutter Wedges by Hallett slide easily under the gutter at each hanger site and help you true up the run immediately. Instead of wrestling with each hanger or relying on custom shims, you use the wedge built for this job, and your system performs as intended.
Designed for Technician‑Friendly Installs
-
Available in White, Black or Royal Brown so you can match common downspout and fascia colors.
-
100 pieces per carton – ready‑to‑stock for crew trucks or warehouse storage.
-
Scored mark on the side enables trimming or bending to match the roof slope or fascia angle accurately.
-
Intended for installation at the same spacing as your hidden hangers, which means you don’t add extra components or change your workflow.
With these specifications the Gutter Wedges deliver a consistent method for tackling uneven fascia without reorganizing your install plan.
Installation Workflow for Professionals
- Inspect the fascia along the run. Identify boards that are visibly out of plumb or leaning forward or backward.
- Install your standard hanger or bracket as you normally would.
- Position a gutter wedge between the back of the gutter and the fascia at that hanger location. Use the scored mark to adjust the wedge angle if needed.
- Secure the hanger through the wedge and into the fascia per your standard method.
-
Continue down the run, placing wedges at each hanger point where fascia angle varies to maintain a consistent gutter alignment.
This method ensures your gutter line remains level and properly pitched, reducing potential issues such as pooling, sagging or separation at joints.
FAQs & Practical Notes
When do I need a wedge instead of a standard hanger?
Use a wedge whenever the fascia is tilted or uneven. If the gutter back cannot sit flush to the fascia, a wedge corrects that gap and helps maintain proper alignment.
Are these wedges compatible with all hanger systems?
Yes. They are designed to be placed at hanger points and work with your existing hidden hanger hardware.
Can I adjust them for different roof slopes?
Yes. The scored side allows you to accurately adapt each wedge to match the pitch or tilt of the roofline.
What color should I stock?
Stock the color that best matches your most common installs. White and Royal Brown account for many standard systems; Black is useful for dark fascia or fascia with specialty finishes.
Finish It Right From the Ground Up
A system is only as strong as its alignment. When fascia is angled, a properly aligned gutter matters more than ever. The Gutter Wedges give you a straightforward, professional solution to level the channel, eliminate sag and install faster.
