Gutters are designed to catch rainwater flowing off the roof, directing it into downspouts – the vertical, closed sections of the gutter system that direct the water from the roof to ground level.
We offer seamless aluminum gutters which are customized and cut on-site for an exact fit, allowing them to blend perfectly with the soffit and fascia of your home. “Seamless” means no leaks! Seams form ridges along the bottom of the gutter, backing up small amounts of water and giving debris plenty of opportunity to form a blockage. Installing seamless gutters avoids this problem altogether, making them easier to clean. Seamless gutters are formed from a single sheet of metal (aluminum) giving them to a more uniform look than sectional pieces.
The seamless design also helps maintain the strength and integrity of the gutter system so expansion, contraction, freezing and strong winds have little or no impact on gutters themselves. 5-inch seamless aluminum downspout is considered standard, however oversized 6-inch downspouts are becoming increasingly more popular.
The difference between 5 inch and 6 inch downspouts is their size, and the capacity of water they can hold. In cases where you often experience heavy rainfall and/or rain water is continually overshooting your gutter system, a 6” oversized gutter system may be the better option. In addition, the climate, roof line, surface area and pitch of your roof are important factors in determining if you should install standard or oversized gutter systems.
