Seamless Gutters vs. DIY Gutters
When we refer to DIY gutters, we are talking about sectional gutters. To manufacture gutters that are seamless, you need a professional-grade gutter machine. DIY gutters (sectional) differ because sectional gutters are installed in pieces and have seams.
When comparing seamless gutters vs. DIY gutters, there are some big differences between them in these four major categories: Installation, Security And Strength, Repair Ability & Cost
Installing a Gutter System
The primary distinction between seamless and sectional gutters lies in their installation process. Seamless gutters are crafted on-site using a specialized machine that transforms a metal sheet into a continuous gutter profile. This custom-made gutter is directly attached to the home’s exterior in one uninterrupted length. In contrast, sectional gutters present a more complex and time-intensive installation.
Typically constructed from vinyl or plastic materials, which are incompatible with the seamless rolling technique, sectional gutters require a piecemeal approach. Each section must be carefully fitted, mitered, and sealed to its neighboring pieces, resulting in a significantly more laborious and prolonged installation process. This method demands more time and introduces potential weak points at each joint where sections connect.
Security & Strengths
Seamless gutters are generally stronger because they lack the miters that join separate pieces. This design reduces the potential for leaks, as the more seams a gutter system has, the greater the likelihood of water escaping. In contrast, sectional gutters are less sturdy due to the materials used in their construction, making them more prone to damage.
Repair Ability
Repairing a seamless system is more difficult since the entire system will typically need to be replaced. This tends to happen during the repair process. However, if the gutter system comes off the house, a repair can address this issue.
Cost Comparison
You may assume that sectional gutters are less expensive than seamless gutters. However, the cost is nearly identical because of all the extra pieces, caulking, and tools needed to complete a sectional gutter installation. Also, because sectional gutters may be less sturdy and are often a DIY installation, they are not likely to last as long as a seamless gutter installation, which may mean more costs in the future.
