Gutter Helmet® Systems of Alabama is a proud installer of Gutter Helmet, the top alternative to gutter shield and the best choice for protecting your gutters. Unlike other gutter protection systems, Gutter Helmet completely covers your gutters and has no vertical openings for debris to enter. Even though it’s a solid gutter cover, it’s still able to let water through. This is achieved using the principle of surface tension. Learn more about it here:

How Our Product Uses Surface Tension to Protect Your Gutters

What Is Surface Tension?

Surface tension refers to a natural phenomenon that occurs when the surface of a liquid acts like a thin elastic sheet. You can observe surface tension by holding a glass sideways under running water. The water will bend and follow the curve of the glass because of the tendency of water molecules to stick together.

Gutter Helmet takes advantage of this phenomenon. When rain flows down your roof, it has surface tension. Because of this, the rainwater will stick to Gutter Helmet’s surface and follow the curve of its innovative nose-forward design. The water will then enter through a small horizontal slit. Dirt, leaves, pine needles and other tiny debris have no chance of entering your gutters because they cannot follow the curve and enter through the slit. They’ll just fall off your roof, which will drastically reduce the risk of gutter clogs.

Why Choose Gutter Helmet?

Gutter Helmet’s innovative design makes it more effective than other gutter protection systems. It has no vertical openings for debris to enter and it doesn’t require extensive maintenance. Gutter Helmet is self-cleaning, because all you have to do is wait for rain to wash debris from off the top of the gutter cover. Gutter Helmet is always installed over heavy-gauge brackets to keep it stable and secure. In addition, Gutter Helmet has a PermaLife™ finish that protects it from fading.
