When you make improvements to the exterior of your home, you have the option to select sectional or seamless gutters. Whether you’re replacing your existing system due to aging or weather damage, it’s important to select the best style for your needs. To determine which is right for your home, consider the benefits and differences of these varieties below.

What Are Sectional Gutters? 

Sectional gutters are very common. They come in various parts that are attached with hangers to the fascia board of your home. A contractor can install them by snapping them together with joiner pieces, or let them overlap.

This option is available in vinyl and metal varieties. While vinyl gutters are heavier than aluminum, requiring additional support during installation, they’re typically more resistant to corrosion, rusting, and fading. A contractor can also replace single sections if certain parts become damaged or loose. However, color options may be limited. 

What Are Seamless Gutters?

Seamless gutters have no limit in length and are built according to your roof’s dimensions. During installation, the contractor will take measurements of your home to customize the seamless gutters. They may cut the system onsite before installing it.

This option is typically only available in aluminum. This lightweight material is resistant to hail and wind. With no seams between sections, debris are less likely to become stuck and form clogs. This will help reduce the maintenance and cleaning requirements of your gutters.
