Seamless Guttering
Although gutters are an important aspect of every roofing system, the types of gutters installed are even more significant for a number of reasons. Seamless guttering is one of the innovative services offered by Rooftime to provide that extra protection you need to defend your home and adjacent grounds against the damaging effects of heavy drain-off. In order to understand why you should consider seamless guttering, you might first want to understand how gutters work and then weigh the advantages of seamless gutters.
Understanding Gutters
It doesn’t really matter what type of roof you have, whether it is flat or sloped, it is crucial that the guttering system allows water to drain down and away from the structure. Pooling water on the roof can cause tiles to be lifted and warped which results in leaks creeping down into the structure itself. From there, not only will the soffit become damaged, but so too will the framework within the building. In effect, guttering is an integral part of any roofing system because it directs water away from the building to a collection point where it can cause no harm.
Problems Caused By Leaky Guttering
One of the most obvious problems you will notice with leaky guttering is that the soil around your home or commercial property will become eroded. As water spills out through leaks in the gutter, it splashes against the ground causing that erosion. This is a danger on a number of levels, but most importantly it can cause damage to the very foundation of the building. You would also want to keep in mind that the pools of water and mud around your home do nothing for the aesthetics of your property. This can also reduce your asking price if you have your home listed on the market.
Why Seamless Guttering
The primary advantage of seamless guttering installed by Rooftime is that there are no seams which can suddenly sprout leaks. We have a gutter forming machine that is fed with a pre-painted aluminium coil that is then formed into a distinctive ogee style gutter. Although the gutter is seamless only on continuous lengths, we have special sections that create a mitred corner which is sealed with a special silicone to prevent leaks. Also, you will never notice hangers as Rooftime provides concealed hangers that are placed strategically close to provide maximum support and strength.
