As you step into the home supply store, you head to the gutter section. Quickly, you start to become overwhelmed with all the different accessories and attachments that accompany gutters. To be honest, you feel a little caught off guard. That’s why your gutter company is here to make it easier to understand.
Consider this: you call an experienced contractor to come to your house and not only do they place the gutters on your house for you, but they place a product superior to sectional gutters. If you’re curious to learn how they compare, you can find out right now.
What are Seamless Gutters?
One of the biggest decisions you can make when choosing gutters is whether to go with or without seams. Seamed or sectional gutters are built to connect to each other in sections by built-in joints. These tend to be ideal for beginners trying to better equip their house against rain and snow.
Seamless gutters however, are built by contractors at your house using a special machine. After the long runs are constructed, they’re are attached to your house and only given joints when they hit corners on your roof.
What are the Benefits of Seamless Gutters?
If you’re looking for true convenience as well as the best possible outcome for your home, seamless gutters have a lot to offer. Because they are custom-made, they’ll fit your house exactly every time. The better your gutters fits, the more effective they’ll be.
Seamless gutters also tend to be far more aesthetically pleasing than sectional gutters. They can be made from aluminum, copper, or steel and most can be painted to match your house’s existing design and colors. If the gutter you choose has a baked-on enamel finish, which lasts for years, it won’t need to be painted at all.
Since seamless gutters don’t have multiple joints, you’ll be able to avoid the issues commonly found with them. For example, the joints and seams in traditional gutters can easily get clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris. This dramatically affects the gutters’ performance and prevents water from draining properly. Furthermore, with sections that meet at a joint, the chance of leakage is much greater. As these joints widen apart, holes can form, and eventually rust can start to take over. Therefore, less joints means less rust and a longer-lasting system.
You’d be surprised how much maintenance a sectional gutter system demands. A seamless gutter system means less joints; that means less space for debris to gather and less chance that animals will try to move in. With seamless gutters, you’ll be spending more time enjoying the outdoors instead of constantly adding chores to your to-do list.
