As the name implies, seamless gutters do not have any seams. They are usually formed from aluminum that has a baked-on finish, but they may be made from copper or factory-painted steel.

Seamless gutters are widely know as the most popular form of gutters installed. The main advantage with seamless gutters is the fact that they have no seams so they won’t leak. That’s also the main reason for which these gutters are considered more durable and have managed to become so popular.

Not having seams is the key — seams often begin to leak over time. With a seamless gutter manufactured on site with a gutter truck, you’ll get continuous runs of gutter so that there won’t be glued or caulked seams in the middle.

Seamless gutters are available in 5, 6, 7, and 8 inch widths, measured by the girth or by top opening. Although gutters can be fabricated to extremely long lengths, expansion joints with 1 inch laps should be placed every 50 ft.

Seamless gutters are more durable because seams tend to weaken the gutter over time and can cause destructive and annoying water leaks ten or fifteen years after installation. The seam sealer cracks due to the constant expansion and contraction of the metal, and seams have to be re-sealed from the inside with a special high quality gutter sealer.

Seamless gutters are professionally engineered to get rain water as far away from your home as possible. They are usually formed from aluminum that has a baked-on finish, but they may be made from copper or factory-painted steel. They are made with a special machine that’s brought to your home so your gutters are specially designed to fit your home.

Seamless gutters are installed by specialist contractors. They arrive on site with a forming machine which is fed with a coil of metal sheet in the required material and color. They are single-piece gutters that are formed on the work site in order to match the measurements needed for a particular job.

Seamless gutters can come in a wide variety of colors. Colored gutters have a factory applied finish. Their smooth look is very attractive. Colors for gutters and downspouts are typically chosen to blend with your home’s exterior not to contrast it. Gutters and downspout colors can be mixed and matched to help achieve these results.
