Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters

When we talk about DIY gutters, we mean sectional gutters. A professional-grade gutter machine is required to make seamless gutters. Sectional gutters differ from DIY gutters in that they are fitted in parts and feature seams. When comparing seamless gutters to DIY gutters, the four fundamental differences outlined below show significant disparities:

  • Installation
  • Security And Strength
  • Repairability
  • Cost

Installing A Gutter System

The gutter installation is the most visible difference. The process of installing seamless gutters on-site entails rolling a metal sheet through gutter-forming equipment. The installer then secures it by running it along the side of the house.

Sectional gutters require substantially more effort and time to install. The most popular type of gutter is a sectional gutter composed of vinyl or plastic. Because they cannot be molded into a roll, these materials are not as widely available as seamless gutters. When constructing a sectional gutter system, each segment must be mitered and sealed together, which adds significantly to the installation time.

Security And Strengths

Seamless gutters are typically stronger because there are no miters connecting the components. The greater the number of seams in a gutter system, the more probable there will be leaks. Sectional gutters are also less robust than seamless gutters due to the materials employed, making them more prone to damage.

Repairability

A seamless system is more difficult to repair because the entire system must usually be replaced. This is common during the repair process. However, if the gutter system becomes detached from the home, it is repairable.

Cost Comparison

It may appear that sectional gutters are less expensive than seamless gutters. However, the cost is virtually identical due to the additional pieces, caulking, and tools required to accomplish a sectional gutter installation. Furthermore, sectional gutters are less durable than seamless gutters and are often installed by the homeowner. This could result in future price increases.

Size Of Seamless Aluminum Gutters

A 5-inch seamless aluminum gutter is widely used in some areas of the country however, 6-inch gutters and 7-inch gutters are becoming increasingly popular. Seamless aluminum gutters also come in even larger sizes, which are typically industrial or commercial-style gutters.

The differences between 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch gutters are their size, and the capacity of water they can hold. In cases where you often experience heavy rainfall and/or rainwater is continually overshooting your gutter system, 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. 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.
