If you’re looking to install aluminum gutters on your home, two options are available: sectional, which is made of smaller segments joined together, or seamless, which is comprised of a single, continuous piece of metal. As such, the only joints visible on seamless gutters are in areas that reach around corners. This system is more commonly seen in new construction. Here’s a closer look at its three main advantages.

The Benefits of Seamless Gutters

1. Low-Maintenance

Sectional gutters have joints, making them more likely to accumulate debris, including leaves, leaves, twigs, and pine needles. This often results in clogs and water backups. Possibly, vegetation may start to grow, which can spread onto walls and the roof. Joints also create attractive areas for critters such as birds, squirrels, and chipmunks to take up residence. Seamless gutters, on the other hand, offer little chance for debris buildup and don’t provide cozy areas for small animals to nest in. Therefore, they require far less maintenance.

2. Reduced Chance of Leaks

On seamless gutter systems, joints and fasteners are found only at the corners and downspouts. This construction makes leaks and, as a result, water damage, much less likely.   

3. Custom Fit

Seamless gutters are custom measured to fit your house to ensure superior protection. And because they are made-to-order, most contractors will offer a warranty for their work, so be sure to find a reputable company.
