Homeowners looking for aluminum gutters in Boston, MA are faced with two choices—sectional gutters or the more modern seamless gutters. The difference between these two choices, as you can tell by their names, is that the former are made of smaller sections which are joined together during installation and the latter are made of a single piece of aluminum. However, there are several advantages to seamless aluminum gutters over sectional gutters.
Unlike seamless aluminum gutters, gutters with joints are prone to debris accumulation. Leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate in the joints and clog the gutters. This requires more maintenance. Because they are not made in sections, seamless aluminum gutters are more firmly fixed and have a smoother interior so there is no chances of accumulation or clogging of debris, therefore less maintenance is required. Additionally, the streamlined construction of seamless gutters means there are only fasteners and joints in the corners and at the downspouts. This means they are less likely to experience issues from leakage, offering far better protection to your home.
Seamless aluminum gutter installation should only be done by a gutter installation specialist. This will ensure that your gutter system is free from clogging, freezing, leaking, and other problems. Properly installed seamless gutters will last years without requiring much additional maintenance.
