Gutters are a small but essential part of any home that can help you protect your siding, your brickwork, and the foundation of your home. If you do not have gutters, you should certainly have them installed. Seamless cutters are a fantastic adaptation of the pieced gutters that were once popular, and they are an easy option for any home or building.
The History of Seamless Gutters
Seamless gutters were not the standard when the gutter was first invented. Gutters have been around for centuries, first being created around the year 3,000 BC as a way to protect early homes from water damage. They were even used on churches with gargoyles as the downspouts. Gutters, as they are now, were not made popular until around 1960. The machine that cuts seamless gutters was created by a man named Art Knudson.
The machine allowed contractors and builders to create gutters from a single piece of aluminum. Seamless gutters are still the standard for most homes and buildings and are used to help ensure that water is not being deposited right at the base of a structure and that the water is not being diverted to the foundation of a home.
Seamless gutters are best for a few reasons. First, they are going to have fewer places where the water can leak out and where the water can damage the gutter. Since these gutters are made of one single piece of aluminum and are not joined, it means that there are fewer places where the water can leak.
