Tag Archives: Expansion Joints

Did you know that aluminum expands and contracts when the temperature fluctuates?  This movement is minimal and does not warrant any special installation procedures for most gutter jobs.  However, Alloy Gutter Company occasionally gets asked to install seamless gutters that have very long runs. Because we are the gutter experts, (with over 35 years of experience) Alloy knows when expansion joints are needed and how to properly install them. Every job is unique and our installers will do a site analysis to determine your specific needs. If necessary, a lap type expansion joint will be installed. This will bridge together two sections of gutter and allow them to move independently. This eliminates any concern about the aluminum buckling due to temperature changes. Whatever size job, Alloy Gutter Company is here to take care of all your gutter needs. Give us a call with any questions or special concerns. We are the gutter experts for jobs both large and small.
