What’s the Best Gutter Protection System on the Market?

Gutter Helmet® started in the early 1960s, when Bob Demartini, an alumnus of MIT began to develop a meshless gutter cover system. Clogged gutters had concerned him for some time and Bob wanted to give homeowners an alternative to cleaning their gutters or installing flimsy gutter screens. He eventually he pursued his original “nose forward design” into development and testing. He came to call his innovative gutter guard product Gutter Helmet®.  The original gutter protection system-was awarded 7 design patents. Gutter Helmet® remains the very best gutter protection system in the world today.

What are the Pros/Cons of Different Gutter Guards, Covers and Protection Systems?

Gutter Helmet #1 Gutter Protection System in the World

Why do some gutter covers or gutter guards fail? There are various ways to classify and rate gutter covers/helmets/guards intended to keep leaves, debris and other stuff out of gutters. You can divide them into very broad or very specific categories. There are six basic types:

• Reverse Curve
• Mesh
• Bottle Brush
• Nylon
• Foam type

The reverse curve is designed to direct water downward into the gutter through a tiny slit but encourages leaves to fall to the ground.

Mesh gutter guards are sheets filled with holes that cover the gutter and attach to the roof shingles. Small holes are better than large holes because they don’t clog with leaves and stuff as easily.

Bottle brush gutter guards are similar to those pokey bristles that prevent birds from landing on things like statues. The bristles face upright so debris can rest on top while water flows into the downspout.

Nylon gutter guards work especially well in the winter to prevent snow and ice accumulation. You can get them to fit into your gutter without attaching to the shingles.

Foam Type is made from a plastic that fits directly into the gutter. It’s supposed to block all the debris falling from the roof and into the gutter. Debris can get caught on top of the foam which can lead to problems. The foam also displaces water, so the gutter holds less than with other cover types and may overflow more easily during heavy rains.

How Does Gutter Helmet of Asheville, NC compare to gutter guards, covers, screens and other types of gutter products?

Gutter Helmet’s unique, multi-patented, curved design has no vertical openings that can allow debris to settle or to enter. Gravity causes leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground, while water surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive cover design and back into your gutters.

All gutter protection products are not created equally. Gutter Helmet is the only system that really does what it advertises. This is why Gutter Helmet is installed in more homes than any other gutter protection system.
