ABOUT SEAMLESS GUTTERS

Traditional gutters are factory formed, and are sold in lengths of between 10 and 22 feet. They are made of vinyl, painted aluminum, painted steel, or copper. Their advantage is that they can be easily installed on site without any special equipment. Their disadvantage is that the numerous joints create opportunities for deformation and leaks.

Seamless gutters are formed on site using a special transportable seamless gutter machine. This is loaded with a coiled strip of the chosen material, in the chosen color. This is then formed on site into continuous lengths of gutter (which can be as much as 400 feet long) which exactly fit the requirement. The great reduction in joints reduces risk of leaks and need for repair. Seamless gutters are available in aluminium, steel, and copper.
