If you’re considering replacing your gutters, you’re faced with choosing between sectional or seamless gutters. Some gutter installation companies offer both, while some only offer one or the other. Though traditional and they’ve been around for many years, sectional gutters aren’t the best choice for homeowners in and around Kansas City; seamless gutters are the best. And not just any seamless gutters, K-Guard Gutters specifically offer many benefits compared to other gutter systems.
Keep reading to learn about the benefits and advantages of seamless gutters and make the best decision to protect your investment and home from drainage issues caused by faulty gutters.
What are Seamless Gutters?
Since gutters are out of sight and often out of mind, you probably haven’t looked closely at gutters to determine if a home has seamless or sectional gutters. Many older homes have these sectional gutters, a popular choice for homeowners since the 1900s. If your home isn’t a newer build and you haven’t replaced your gutters, you could have sectional gutters installed. Sectional gutters are easy to identify because they have seams and joints connecting multiple pieces of the gutter.
Seamless gutters are different; rather than sectional gutters installed in pieces and brought together with bolts and screws, seamless gutters are installed using material that’s cut in one continuous piece, avoiding seams that frequently cause leaks and clogs. Sectional gutters often leak because of the seams getting loose from debris collecting inside the gutter, extreme weather conditions, or wear and tear, while seamless gutters avoid leaks and clogs from trapped debris and loose joints.
Homeowners in and around Kansas City should install seamless gutters because they eliminate leaks and are custom-cut to your home, ensuring a perfect fit. Though sectional gutters may save homeowners money up front, they often cost more as they create leaks and damage.
Benefits & Advantages of Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters offer many advantages, including adding curb appeal and value to your home. Below are some of the many benefits of seamless gutter installation.
Sleek Design
Your home’s exterior is the first thing passersby, potential homeowners, friends, and family see. You do everything you can to make it appealing, including pressure-washing the siding, keeping up with landscaping each spring and summer, treating and mowing the lawn, and much more. You could do everything you can to improve your home’s exterior, but if you have leaky, damaged sectional gutters, your other work goes unnoticed thanks to an eyesore.
Seamless gutters eliminate gutter eyesores because of their sleek design and ensure the entire gutter is an exact fit for your home, eliminating unsightly gaps and unlevel pieces like sectional gutters often have. Whether you want to impress your in-laws or potential homebuyers, you can’t beat the sleek design of seamless gutters.
Durable
Sectional gutters can only protect a home from drainage issues until they loosen or get damaged, which is inevitable. They can’t handle the weight of debris that gets trapped inside the seam,s which puts excess weight on each section, loosening the bolts and screws that tie them together. Seamless gutters are different – since they’re one continuous piece of material, they’re extremely durable with zero chance for seams to loosen or sections to fall apart.
Seamless gutters have varying levels of durability depending on the type of seamless gutter you install. Different styles are available with add-ons like gutter screens and filters that claim to protect your gutters. While they protect from large debris entering your gutters, nothing can compare to the curved hood of K=Guard Gutters (more on that later).
Efficient Solution to Prevent Water Damage
No homeowner wants to deal with water damage, whether it’s a leaky basement, ceiling, or roof. Water damage is costly and a nightmare. Unfortunately, sectional gutters often cause water damage thanks to their loose bolts and screws that separate sections from one another, causing leaky gutters. Seamless gutters are an efficient solution for preventing water damage, ensuring no water escapes the inside of the gutter by way of a loose section.
