A Quick Introduction
To make sure you understand the differences between seamless and sectional rain gutters, we
need to offer basic definitions –
 A seamless rain gutters, as the name would suggest, has no seams – other than at the
corners. It is a continuous section of gutter that runs along the edge of your roof, for as
long as that roof section travels, until reaching a corner. When these kinds of gutters are
installed, the sections are custom cut for the house to make sure they fit perfectly.
 On the other hand, a sectional rain gutter system consists of many relatively small
sections of gutter that have been joined together. Gutters have been sold and installed
like this for many years, but there are some problems that we will discuss below.

The Problem with Seams
When everything is working properly, a sectional rain gutter will do the job of carrying water
away from the roof and sending it down the spouts to the ground. Unfortunately, with so many
seams involved in the system, you can’t rely on everything always working properly. If one or
more of those seams open up and develop a leak, you’ll be left with a system that needs to be
repaired.
This is where seamless rain gutters become an ideal solution. With the use of seams limited to
only the corners of the house – where they are unavoidable – the chances for something to go
wrong are greatly reduced. You won’t have any leaks in the middle of a gutter run along the
side of your house, because there are no seams to leak. It’s a simpler system that leads to more
reliable, predictable results.
