Seamless Gutters vs Traditional Gutters: Which are Better for Your Home? |
One of the advantages of seamless gutters, is that they are generally stronger than traditional gutters. This makes them ideal for systems that are prone to clogging and are not immediately cleaned. They are constructed of many of the same materials as traditional gutters but come in single pieces that are not sectioned. These single pieces are made and cut on-site using a heavy-duty machine. This process makes seamless installation unsuitable for do-it-yourself projects.
Because they only have seams the at corners and the downspout, this limits opportunity for leakage to occur. While it is not true that there is no chance of leakage, seamless gutters do leak far less than traditional gutters.
Seamless gutters tend to be more expensive in comparison to their traditional counterparts, and they can also be somewhat difficult to install. Homeowners on a tight budget should be wary of the cost associated with installing a seamless system, but if the reduced maintenance and longer life of this type of gutter system appeals to you, then it is the way to go.
Which gutter system is best for your home may not be immediately obvious. If your home sits beneath overhanging trees, the leaves or pine needles they drop could become destructive forces and cause leaks or even clogs. Seamless gutters may be slightly more expensive to install, but you’ll save so much money in repairs over the years that they’re sure to pay for themselves.
