How can leaves, twigs and other forms of debris pose a threat to your gutter system? These objects might seem harmless, but they can cause your gutters to deteriorate quickly and eventually fail. When they accumulate in the metal channels, water won’t flow as it should, spill over the sides and hit the ground. This can weaken your home’s foundation and lead to costly repairs.
However, thanks to Gutter Helmet®, a smart alternative to ordinary gutter shield systems, clogging won’t be an issue. Here’s how this gutter protection system can benefit you in the long run.
Gutter Helmet vs. Typical Gutter Covers
Gutters are vulnerable to clogging because of their open nature, which is why many homeowners consider investing in gutter maintenance items. However, some try to cut costs by taking on this job by themselves by fashioning makeshift gutter covers to save money. The catch: they won’t know for sure if these items can withstand the elements or actually do the thing they’re supposed to do.
Fortunately, Gutter Helmet is a long-term investment, unlike do-it-yourself gutter filters. Made of a sturdy aluminum base, it’s attached to your roof with heavy-duty mounting brackets. It can also handle up to 22 inches of rain per hour, which is double the amount of the highest rainfall recorded in the United States.
Unique Design
Unlike ordinary gutter shield systems, Gutter Helmet has a unique nose-forward design and a ribbed surface that keeps your gutters clean and free-flowing. These features also utilize the principle of surface tension, which allows water to adhere to its surface and move through your gutters without spilling over the sides. Moreover, forms of debris are swept off to fall harmlessly to the ground.
