The standard material on the Wasatch Front, in the gauge that survives Utah winters.
Seamless aluminum is the gutter material on most Utah homes because it does not rust, it is light enough to hang on hidden hangers, it comes in more than twenty-five baked-on colors, and it is formed to length on site so the only seams are at corners. In the heavier .032 gauge it holds up to ladders, hail and the ice that forms along shaded eaves every January.
SwiftHand Gutters forms seamless aluminum in five-inch and six-inch K-style, half-round and fascia profiles on a truck-mounted machine in your driveway. We use .032 gauge as the default; the thinner .027 gauge that many builders and low-bid installers use is the reason so many ten-year-old gutters along the Wasatch Front are dented, sagging or split at the seams.

Gauge is the thickness of the coil. At .027 inch, aluminum gutters dent under a ladder, flex in wind and crease under ice. At .032 inch they are roughly twenty percent stiffer and noticeably more durable for about a dollar more per foot. We recommend .032 on every Utah home and will not install .027 on bench or mountain lots.
The baked-on enamel finish carries a manufacturer warranty of twenty years or more against fading, chalking and peeling. We stock white, bronze, black, clay, almond, grays and browns and can order custom-painted coil for larger projects. See gutter colors for matching advice.
Seamless aluminum on screw hangers lasts twenty to thirty years in Utah, longer with guards and regular cleaning. The sealant at corners and end caps is the usual maintenance item and is resealed as part of a repair visit. Aluminum can be recycled at end of life.
Five-inch seamless aluminum is $8 to $12 per linear foot installed and six-inch $10 to $14, including hangers, corners, end caps and sealant. See the pricing page.

.027 gauge often does. .032 gauge resists the hail we get along the Wasatch Front far better, which is why we spec it.
It does not rust. Contact with copper or galvanized steel can cause galvanic corrosion, so we isolate dissimilar metals with the right fasteners.
Yes, with a bonding primer and exterior paint, but the factory finish lasts longer. Custom-color coil is the better route for an unusual trim color.
Yes. Every seam in a sectional gutter is a future leak. Seamless runs have joints only at corners, and those are sealed and often mechanically fastened.
