Abstract
A gutter expansion joint includes a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet and a roof membrane strip. A thermoplastic polyolefin coating is applied to one side of the first and second metal sheets. A first end of the roof membrane strip overlaps the first metal sheet and is secured to the first metal. A second end of the roof membrane strip overlaps the second metal sheet and is secured to the second metal sheet. The first metal sheet, the roof membrane strip and the second metal sheet are bent to be received by an inner perimeter of two adjacent gutters. A bead of non-curing sealant is applied to an inside surface of the two adjacent gutters, before insertion of the gutter expansion joint. A gutter expansion joint cover is attached to an outside perimeter of the two adjacent gutters.
