Gutters are essential to a home’s longevity. With a good gutter system, you can manage the rain water and ensure that it flows away from your home. A number of foundation problems often develop when the rain water falls off the roof and puddles near the foundation. Roof leaks and water can seep into the exterior walls and damage the stucco or siding of the home. When you need gutter replaced or installed for the first time, you will want to find the best gutter system available. One of the better gutter systems are Seamless gutters. First Choice Roofing would like to put the spotlight on seamless gutters and why so many homeowners are choosing to have this gutter system installed on their home.
What is the Difference Between Regular & Seamless Gutters?
So what exactly are seamless gutters? To better understand this new gutter system, it helps to know that typically, gutters are made in sections. Each section connects together and contours to the edges of a home’s roof. You can visibly see the seam of each section of the gutter. A seamless gutter is much different. A seamless gutter does not use sectional pieces to conform around the roof. Instead, a single piece is used that runs along the entire edge of the home. A specialize machine is used to unroll the gutter material to ensure a tight and proper fit to the home’s roof.
Advantages of Seamless Gutters
What exactly makes seamless gutter such a great system? There are many benefits to a seamless gutter system. To start with, you will have less leaking issues. Often sectional gutters will leak out water around the joints where each sectional piece connects. Not only will water leak from the joints, but if the joints are not supported they tend to sag. Seamless gutters do not have joints. This means no leaking or sagging. Joints also prove to be a problem when it comes to clogs. Debris often builds up in the areas where the joints are and along the twist and turns. With a seamless gutter system you do not have nearly the same amount of debris build up as sectional gutters. This mean you do not need to clean your gutters very often. Another benefit to seamless gutters is that they are custom fitted to your home’s roof. Sectional gutter systems will not perfectly fit a home. To ensure a tightened fit and that the gutter system captures all of the water falling from your roof, a seamless gutter system ensures a perfect fit. Not only does a seamless gutter system fit your home, but they look better too. For better aesthetics you will want the right color of gutter to match your home. Having no seams makes the gutter look better and even invisible as they often look like the roof trimming.
