Williamson Gutters - Seamless
One of the first questions you may ask yourself if you are considering to replace or install new gutters to your home is whether the traditional sectional style or seamless option is right for you.
To get to this conclusion, you first need to understand the differences between each type, and what makes sense for you. Regardless of what you choose, the most important thing is that you are selecting a gutter system that works and keeps your home and roof safe from damage, leaks and costly problems. A good protection system from rain and other water sources can also keep your landscaping from being damaged. But let the professionals at Williamson Gutters help you learn about the various styles and their benefits for you. Sectional StyleMost families and homeowners are familiar with this more traditional style because of its lower cost. These are composed of smaller, pre-cut metal pieces that are connected at the joints or seams by sealing, soldering or snapping them together. Typically, these gutters come in 10-foot pieces, so once it is installed, it is a long span of fitted sections that covers the length of the house.
Yet, low cost does not always mean top quality. The downside of this sectional style is that the joints, or pieces that connect everything together, can be more susceptible to weakening and damage. Over time, when it is exposed to extreme heat, dryness or varying weather – its durability is compromised which means it can develop cracks or rust, or can separate and break. |

Seamless Style
More and more, people are gravitating to the benefits of the latest and greatest in gutter solutions – seamless. This style is generally stronger than traditional sectional pieces, because of the way it is created. Seamless gutters are custom-made on-site at your home to create the continuous, and single gutter solution.
The upside? The unified structure is more resilient and less susceptible to potential leaks or mishaps compared to traditional, sectional systems. Because this style only has seams at the corners and downspout, it limits the chances of leakage, or weakening. Another way to strengthen this system is by selecting the right material.
Nearly 80 percent of all homeowners who choose the seamless style, also choose the highly lightweight, corrosion-resistant and reliable option of aluminum. While this is by far one of the most popular choices for residential applications, galvanized steel and copper are also great ways to give your home an elegant look, without risking your home’s safety.
