The Science Behind Gutter Helmet®’s Design

By April 24, 2017October 18th, 2023No Comments

Keeping your gutters clean is necessary to ensure their long-lasting performance. That said, cleaning them regularly can be risky as it will require you to climb onto your roof and potentially put you at risk of a fall. Fortunately, you can count on Gutter Helmet® Systems of Alabama to install our efficient brand of gutter covers for you.

In today’s post, we discuss the science that makes our gutter protection system highly efficient.

Surface Tension Principle

Surface tension refers to the quality of liquids that allow them to withstand external factors. When liquid molecules react in unison to one another, then you’re looking at the principle behind surface tension. An example of this would be how a small needle can still float on water.

How Gutter Helmet Uses This Principle

Gutter Helmet uses this principle to ensure water flows smoothly into your gutter system. It comes with a ribbed surface that lets water cling to it due to surface tension and gravity. As soon as water rounds the edge of the system, it will pass through a 3/8 “ wide slit leading to your gutter system.  Debris, however, is kept out by this small slit, letting them fall safely to the ground. With the unique features of our gutter covers, you no longer need to worry about maintaining your gutters regularly.

Aside from these features, Gutter Helmet comes with a PermaLife™ finish that protects it from acid rain and other harmful elements. It’s also available in a wide selection of colors that will blend with your home’s exterior. Furthermore, our product comes with a strong warranty for your protection. Since top roofing manufacturers approve of our installation methods, you can be sure that your roofing warranties are safe with us. In fact, part of our installation process includes checking, cleaning, and re-aligning your gutter system.
