Why Are Seamless Gutters Superior?
With 20 years of experience and a 45-year family tradition in the gutter business, I can tell you one thing honestly: **there's no good reason to install sectional gutters**.
The Problem with Joints
Joints represent inevitable weak points in your gutter system. Each joint is a place where water can potentially infiltrate, especially with our harsh Quebec winters.
At Akaro, we've seen too many sectional systems that end up leaking after a few years. Joints expand and contract with temperature changes, creating microscopic cracks that grow over time.
Advantages of Seamless Gutters
**Superior durability:** Without joints, there are simply no failure points. The system is monolithic, formed from one continuous piece.
**Improved aesthetics:** A clean, continuous line gives a much more professional and uniform appearance to your home.
**Reduced maintenance:** Fewer potential problems means less long-term maintenance.
On-Site Fabrication Expertise
What makes the difference with our seamless gutters is that we manufacture them directly on your property with our forming machine. This allows us to perfectly adapt the length to your house, regardless of its size.
The Corner Challenge
The only place we can't avoid joints is at exterior and interior corners. But even there, we seal the joints with high-quality silicone specifically designed for gutters, ensuring lasting waterproofing.
Quebec Market Reality
In Quebec, some companies continue installing sectional gutters simply because they're cheaper to purchase and easier to transport. But ultimately, the customer pays the price with frequent repairs and premature replacement.
At Akaro, we invest in the equipment and training necessary to offer exclusively seamless gutters, because we know that's what truly protects your home long-term.
