Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters
DIY gutters in this context refers to prefabricated gutter components. Seamless gutters can only be made with a gutter machine designed for the job. DIY gutters have defined parts and seams, whereas sectional gutters lack these features.
There are four key ways that seamless gutter installation vary from those that must be manually installed:
- Installation
- Security And Strength
- Repairability
- Cost

Installing A Gutter System
The location shift is the most obvious alteration. The process of fabricating seamless gutters on-site involves running a metal sheet through specialized machinery. After making sure it is secure, the installer will run it next to the home.
Installing sectional gutters takes a lot of time. Gutter components made of PVC and plastic are the industry standard. These materials are not as prevalent as seamless gutters since they cannot be rolled up for storage. Installing a sectional gutter system takes much longer since individual portions need to be cut and sealed.
Security And Strengths
Seamless gutter installation is usually the best option because mitered connections are fragile. More seams increase the chance of spring leaks in a gutter system. Sectional gutters’ construction materials aren’t as durable as seamless gutters’ materials. They are, therefore, more vulnerable to harm.
Repairability
A seamless system is challenging to repair without completely replacing it. As is frequently the case when mending anything, this is the situation. If the gutters ever separate from the home, it won’t be the end of the world.
Cost Comparison
Untrained eyes could assume that sectional gutters are less expensive than seamless gutters. However, the additional price of the supplies, caulk, and labor required to install sectional gutters is nearly comparable. Despite not lasting as long as seamless gutters, sectional gutters are also often installed in residential buildings. As a result, future price rises could be likely.
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.
