About New Gutters
| New Gutters Avoid Cleaning |
from our "home remodeling" project library
Many new gutter systems feature an overhanging hood that allows water to continue to run into the trough while keeping leaves and other debris out. Other gutter systems feature hinged screens that prohibit debris from entering into the gutter and cutting off the flow of rainwater towards the downspout. In terms of materials, it can really boil down to your aesthetic preference. Most rain gutters and downspouts are available in vinyl, aluminum, steel, and copper, with the latter two being most expensive to procure and install.
Most homeowners choose to install seamless gutters. Installers use a gutter fabricator brought on-site to construct the appropriate gutters to your home’s dimensions to eliminate the need for seams along the length of the trough. In contrast to their sectional counterparts, seamless gutters are not as likely to leak during their lifetime. Seamless gutters are available most commonly in aluminum, but they can be constructed of copper or factory-painted steel as well based on the homeowner’s needs. |
