Gutters

If you are comparing gutter systems, it’s important to consider all of your options in choosing a system that can fully protect your home from damage. Here’s a look at the good, better and best of available house gutters to help make your decision easier.

Good: Sectional Gutters

Basic half-round or K-style sectional gutters are the type found in most big-box home improvement stores. Just as the name implies, they are purchased in preformed sections that will be cut to fit and attached together with connectors or gaskets. Before deciding that these DIY gutters are your most budget-friendly, you should weigh these additional factors:

  • Installing sectional gutters properly can be tricky, because they need to have the right pitch and angle to drain properly.
  • The numerous connections between sections, in corners and where downspouts attach result in multiple weak points where the gutters can fail.
  • It is usually impossible to keep every connection sealed tight, so this type of gutter system is more prone to leak.

Better: Custom Seamless Gutters

Seamless systems are a step up from sectional gutters in both quality and cost. They are custom made on-site from a continuous piece of painted aluminum and professionally installed, so they offer advantages you won’t get with DIY sectional gutters, such as:

  • A perfect fit because your gutters are customized to the exact dimensions of your home’s eaves.
  • No worries that your gutter system won’t drain properly or will fail because of improper installation.
  • If open gutters are desired, the opportunity to choose a higher-quality and more durable gutter system like RainPro is advised. They are made from thicker aluminum and are streamlined and attractive, yet they handle a larger volume of water because they are designed with a wider bottom and larger downspout outlets.

Best: Custom One-Piece Gutters With Integrated Gutter Guards

Even quality systems like RainPro have one major vulnerability: they can clog up easily with falling debris and then overflow when it rains. Also, there are no add-on gutter guards that can completely solve the clogging problem. LeafGuard gutters are a better choice and the best system available because:

  • LeafGuard provides all the advantages of seamless gutters but it’s the only system with a patented, one-piece design that incorporates a debris-defeating curved hood.
  • It is also the only gutter system that is warrantied against clogs that can cause water backups and costly damage. Contact us at BELDON® Home Solutions to learn more reasons why LeafGuard gutters are the best choice to protect your home.
