What are seamless rain gutters?
Seamless rain gutters are created on-site with a gutter machine mounted to a service truck. They get custom measurements and they are installed on-site in one continuous run. This solution provides seamless runs, making them stronger and longer lasting than DIY or sectional gutters.
The biggest difference is installation. Seamless gutter installation means that gutters are made on-site by rolling a metal sheet through a gutter forming machine. The installer then secures it to the side of the home in a continuous run.
Sectional gutters are much more difficult and time-consuming to install. These gutters are most commonly made of vinyl or plastic, which are not available as a seamless gutter since these materials cannot be made into a roll form. As a sectional gutter system is installed, each section must be mitered and sealed together making the installation process much longer and leaving more areas where the gutter system can fail.
SIZING YOUR GUTTERS
The main difference between 5, 6, and 7 inch gutters are their size, and the capacity of water they can hold. In cases where you often experience heavy rainfall or your roof covers a larger surface area that collects a high volume of water, a 6” gutter or 7′′ gutter system may be the best for your home.
In addition to climate; the roofline, surface area, and pitch of your roof are important factors in determining if you should install a 5-inch, 6-inch, or 7-inch gutter system. In rare cases, interchanging two different sizes of gutter within the same gutter system can also be a cost-effective solution for areas of your home needing higher capacity.
