When it’s time to replace your gutters, you have two styles to choose from: sectional and seamless. Sectional gutters are the most common option and the most traditional. However, seamless gutters are quickly gaining popularity because they offer superior protection and weather resistance.
In this post, the gutter experts at Barry Best Seamless Gutters discuss the advantages of seamless gutters over their sectional counterparts.
The main advantage seamless gutters have over sectional gutters is that they are more resistant to leaks. Sectional gutters contain seams between each section of material, which are vulnerable to leaks. Seamless gutters don’t have this problem since they are built from one piece of metal, which means there are no seams or gaps where leaks can form.
With sectional gutters, the seams cause ridges to form along the bottom of the gutter. This, in turn, causes small amounts of water to back up, forcing debris to accumulate and eventually create a blockage.
Since seamless gutters are formed from a single sheet of metal, they have a more uniform appearance. This also makes them easier to clean; in fact, you can think of these gutters as “self-cleaning” units since just washing them with water will free the leaf litter and debris that’s accumulated inside them.
Seamless gutters are also easier to install than sectional gutters since they don’t need to be assembled part by part. They are custom built according to the precise measurements of your roof, ensuring a perfect fit. As your trusted local gutter contractor, Barry Best Seamless Gutters guarantees flawlessly installed seamless gutters that will guarantee maximum water protection for your home.
