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 difference between seamless and sectional gutters lies in their installation process. Seamless gutters are crafted on-site by feeding a metal sheet through a gutter-forming machine, creating a continuous piece that is then secured to the side of the home. In contrast, sectional gutters are more challenging and time-consuming to install.
Typically made of vinyl or plastic, these materials cannot be shaped into a roll form for seamless construction. Instead, sectional gutters require each segment to be individually mitered and sealed together during installation, which significantly extends the process.
Security & Strengths
Seamless gutters are generally stronger because they lack the miters that join pieces together in other gutter systems. The presence of more seams in a gutter system increases the potential for leaks. In contrast, sectional gutters are less sturdy, partly due to the materials used, which makes them more prone to damage.
Repair Ability
Repairing a seamless system can be more challenging because it often requires replacing the entire system, which typically occurs during the repair process. However, if the gutter system detaches from the house, a repair can effectively address this specific issue.
Cost Comparison
You may assume that sectional gutters are less expensive than the cost of seamless gutters. But, the cost is actually nearly identical because of all the the extra pieces, caulking, and tools needing to complete a sectional gutter install. 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. This may mean more costs in the future.
