Whats the difference between seamless and sectional?
Sectional types are sold in 10-to22-feet long pieces. They’re made of vinyl, painted aluminum, painted aluminum, or pre-painted steel. Gutter sections are joined together by Snap-in-place connectors. All sectional systems have end caps, corner pieces and drop outlets for connecting to downspouts. The negative to sectional systems is that there is a potential for leaks through all those seams. One positive is that they can be installed by either the homeowner or by a professional installer. Seamless gutters are the most popular type today. The biggest selling point is that they don’t have any seams which could potentially leak. The sections join only at the outside and inside corners and at downspout outlets. Seamless gutters are usually formed from aluminum that has a baked on finish, but they may be made from copper or factory-painted steel. They are made with a special machine thats brought to your home. These types of gutters cannot be installed by do-it-yourselfers.
