How exactly are metal gutters manufactured?

How exactly are metal gutters manufactured? When you look at your home’s gutters, do you ever wonder how they are made? Most people don’t know how they are made. If you want to impress during the family and friends BBQ this coming weekend, read on…
Do you remember the Play-Doh Fun Factory toy? Do you know what a gutter machine is? The premise of both, the toy and the gutter machine, is similar. One puts material in them, and out comes the same material, but just in a different shape.

With the Fun Factory, one can put the “doh” in, and then press the lever, and out comes doh shaped like a star, a cylinder, etc. Then the product is cut to a desired length, and the rest is up to the imagination.
 
With a gutter machine, metal coil is applied to the top of the machine, then fed through a series of rollers inside the machine, and at the end, the formed metal gutter comes out and is cut to the desired length to fit a house’s roofline.





Some gutter and roofing contractors have gutter machines as part of their equipment. Some machines are portable and used at home construction sites. Others contractors have gutter machines at their place of business. Other contractors conveniently order the metal coil needed to make gutters, or gutter machines, straight from our website – www.GutterSupply.com.
We have gutter machines for K Style and Half Round gutters. Also, we carry 5”, 6”, 5”/6” combo size, gutter machines for the right application.

Gutter machines also need some accessories. As newly manufactured gutter comes out of the machine, they need to be supported by run out stands.
