Sectional gutters come in 10- or 20-foot pieces from a store and are joined with connectors and sealant. Seamless gutters are formed on site from a coil, in one piece for each run.
Seamless gutters
- No joints along the run, so far fewer leaks.
- Cut to the exact length of the fascia.
- Thicker, factory-painted aluminum in many colors.
- Installed by a crew with a gutter machine.
Sectional gutters
- Lower material cost and easy to buy.
- A joint every 10 to 20 feet, each one a future leak.
- Usually vinyl or thin aluminum.
- Practical for sheds and small outbuildings.
In Rio Rancho's climate
Intense sun breaks down sealant and vinyl, and temperature swings from freezing nights to hot afternoons work joints loose. Seamless aluminum handles both better, which is why it is the standard choice for homes here.
