Why You Shouldn’t Take Modern Gutters For Granted

Posted on Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Historically, gutters were much more of a pain to live with than they are today. They used to be located within the wall of the building creating the potential for leaks within the walls. They were heavy, prone to rotting, difficult to install, and required much more maintenance than today. Today’s gutters can be customized on-site, installed by one person, and, with the Original GutterGaurdian, lower maintenance.

K-shape, seamless gutters made from aluminum are the most commonplace gutters we see. They are preferred by builders because the k-shape blends in better with the building than U-shape gutters. The aluminum is both strong and light enough for a single person to install. The gutter can also be installed by customizing one single seamless piece on-site. This reduces the risk of leaking that sectional gutters are prone to experience.

The open top design of gutters has also been modified by many competing products. By guarding the top of the gutter in some way, the gutter is less prone to being plugged by debris. The Original GutterGaurdian helps to prevent debris from entering the gutter so it can maintain a constant water flow with less maintenance.

The modern construction of gutters might seem like common sense to us, but sheet aluminum wasn’t available for all of history. Redirecting the flow of water from roofs has always been a necessity. Through modern materials and design, k-shaped, seamless, aluminum, allow us to redirect flowing water from roofs better than ever. To further reduce maintenance we have gutter guards like the Original GutterGuardian helping to make gutters the more care-free than any other time in history.
