If Youire in the Market for Gutters, Consider Going Seamless

Traditionally, gutters came in a jigsaw format, with sections joined by many fasteners. These fasteners create weak points in the structure, rendering the gutters at risk of erosion through leaks and facilitating a buildup of debris, such as twigs and leaves.

Moreover, the sealant used to join the sections wears away through contact with water and exposure to sunlight, and the resultant cracks can cause rot, mildew and flooding. When this occurs, it can cause leaks in the foundation and walls, as well as damage the exterior of your home.

When seamless gutters were introduced, homeowners were offered a better product with greater performance.

• Less Leaks and Less Maintenance: Excepting for the downspouts and corners, seamless gutters have no fasteners or joints. They not only require far less maintenance thanks to their streamlined construction, but they also minimize leaks. Because there are no joints to gather debris and no seals to erode, they offer outstanding protection against seasonal damage.

• Choice: Seamless gutters are available in a variety of materials from vinyl and aluminum to copper and steel, and they come in many colors to suit your home and surrounding landscape.

Although some homeowners favor conventional gutters because they can do the installation themselves, the truth is that guttering is the fundamental first line of defense against structural damage. Since seamless gutters are made to measure, they require professional installation. While this may cost more, the expense will ultimately be recouped through a product that offers greater protection to your property and requires far less maintenance.
