Internal Guttering System
There are two main types of gutter systems: external and internal.
Internal gutter system is the top choice if you prefer to have a sleek and aesthetic look for your home. It is typically hidden unlike external gutters and when installed and maintained properly, it can last up to 20 years.
Though it gives a clean look, this type of gutter is the most problematic. Internal gutters are prone to the following issues – poor joint design, no overflows, insufficient outlets, inadequate maintenance since it is hidden.
Planning to Shift to External Guttering?
Internal gutters are not for every home. Many homeowners avoid using internal gutters due to water building up and may cause extreme damage. Below is the list of advantages and disadvantages to consider.
Advantage
- Aesthetic Look: internal guttering systems are not visible from the outside, contributing to a cleaner and more streamlined appearance.
Disadvantages:
- Installation Complexity: installing an internal guttering system can be more complex than external systems, often requiring professional expertise.
- Maintenance Challenges: since it is hidden, maintaining internal gutters may be more challenging compared to external systems.
Lastly, it is important to note that internal guttering systems are not as common in residential homes as external guttering systems. Professional advice is needed in shifting to external guttering to ensure they function effectively and do not lead to water damage issues within the building.
