So, exactly what are seamless gutters? Rain gutters are built on-site using a gutter machine mounted on a service vehicle. The simple reason is because there are no seams. Each one is precisely sliced before being inserted in a single smooth sweep.

Seamless Gutters VS. DIY Gutters
In this sense, do-it-yourself gutters refer to prefabricated gutter parts. A professional gutter machine is required to make seamless gutters. Sectional gutters do not have the same seams or modular design as DIY gutters.
There are four major differences between seamless gutters and do-it-yourself gutters:
- Installation
- Security And Strength
- Repairability
- Cost

Installing A Gutter System
The setup is the most evident change. The on-site method for installing seamless gutters is to roll a metal sheet through gutter-forming equipment. The installer will next run it along the house to ensure its safety.
Sectional gutter installation is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Vinyl or plastic sectional gutters are extremely widespread. Because they cannot be molded into a roll, these materials are not as widely available as seamless gutters. A sectional gutter system takes much longer to install since each component must be mitered and sealed.
Security And Strengths
Seamless gutters are frequently the strongest option because miters weaken the junctions. The likelihood of a gutter system leaking grows in direct proportion to the number of seams it contains. Sectional gutters are made of weaker materials than seamless gutters, making them more susceptible to damage.
Repairability
When repairing a seamless system, the entire system must usually be replaced. This is common while repairing anything. However, if the gutter system ever separates from the home, it is repairable.
Cost Comparison
On the surface, sectional gutter installation appears to be less expensive than seamless gutters. However, with the additional materials, caulking, and work required to install sectional gutters, the cost is nearly comparable. Furthermore, despite their inferior durability versus seamless gutters, homeowners routinely install sectional gutters. As a result, future price increases are possible.

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.
