Seamless gutter

Trade jargonOhio homeowner glossaryCC-BY-4.0

TL;DR

A seamless gutter is a rain gutter roll-formed on site from a coil of aluminum, steel, or copper, so each run is one continuous piece with joints only at corners and outlets. Eliminating mid-run seams removes the most common leak points and gives a cleaner sightline than 10-foot sectional pieces.

Definition

What it means

A seamless gutter is a rain gutter roll-formed on site from a coil of aluminum, steel, or copper, so each run is one continuous piece with joints only at corners and outlets. Eliminating mid-run seams removes the most common leak points and gives a cleaner sightline than 10-foot sectional pieces. Crews form the profile, usually 5-inch or 6-inch K-style, in the driveway with a portable machine and cut it to the exact fascia length.
