When you need gutters, you can trust the team of experts at Castle Exteriors.

Are your gutters not performing like they should? Something as important as your gutter system should be maintained regularly and eventually, they need to be replaced. Installing gutters may not be the most exciting improvement to your home, but it will be a worthwhile investment. Gutters are a means for managing rainfall and other elements that could impact your home’s structure. To protect the siding, insulation, structure and foundation of your home, having the right pitch of slope is an important factor for your gutter installation.

Installing A Gutter System

The most obvious difference is in how they are put together. On-site gutters are made by rolling a sheet of metal through equipment that makes gutters. To keep it in place, the installer runs it down the side of the house.

Security And Strength

Because there are no miters joining the parts of a seamless gutter, it will last longer. The more gutter seams there are, the more likely it is that a leak will happen. Because of how their parts are made, sectional gutters are also less durable and more likely to break.

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.
