Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters
In this usage, DIY gutters refer to prefabricated gutter parts. Only a gutter machine intended for the purpose can create seamless gutters. DIY gutters have seams and discrete components, whereas sectional gutters do not have these qualities.
Seamless gutters differ from ones that must be installed by hand in four significant ways:
- Installation
- Security And Strength
- Repair Ability
- Cost
Installing A Gutter System
The most noticeable difference is the installation. On-site fabrication of seamless gutters is accomplished by passing a metal sheet through specific equipment. The installer will run it beside the house after ensuring its security.
Sectional gutter installation is a time-consuming task. The industrial standard is PVC and plastic gutter parts. Because they cannot be folded up for storage, these materials are not as common as seamless gutters. Because individual sections must be cut and sealed, installing a sectional gutter system takes significantly longer.

Security And Strengths
Because mitered connections are brittle, seamless gutters are typically the best solution. A gutter system with more seams is more likely to leak in the spring. The materials used to make sectional gutters are not as long-lasting as those used to make seamless gutters. As a result, they are more prone to damage.
Repair Ability
It is difficult to fix a seamless system without totally replacing it. This is the scenario, as is often the case with repairing anything. It’s not the end of the world if the gutters ever detach from the house.
Cost Comparison
Sectional gutters appear less expensive than seamless gutters to the untrained eye. On the other hand, the increased cost of materials, caulk, and labor necessary to install sectional gutters is roughly similar. Sectional gutters are also commonly placed in residential structures, even though they do not last as long as seamless gutters. As a result, additional price increases are possible in the future.
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.
