Gutter guards are becoming increasingly essential for many homes. However, some homeowners are still hesitant to invest in them. For some, they are not sure whether the benefits will outweigh the cost. For others, they may be completely unaware of how the system works and the benefits received.

Types of Gutter Guards

There are 2 categories of gutter guard products and many types of materials used to protect the gutter from blocking.

1. The first category is a fully installed screening system made from different materials. They are designed to allow the debris to slide or blow down the roof and over the gutter.

Plastic screening materials have been professionally installed on Australian roofs for over 20 years. Many different patterns and hole sizes have been used for a variety of applications.

Aluminium screening materials are used for a range of applications from fly wire to heavy gauge expanded aluminium for the purpose of strength, flexibility, aesthetics and fire proofing. These products have the potential to be long lasting and blend in with the look of the roof.

Steel and stainless steel screening is varies from a light weight fly wire to heavy gauge steel for the purpose of strength and fire proofing.

2. The second category is for the DIY enthusiast for purchase online and in hardware stores.

Plastic gutter guards can be rolled into the gutter to allow water to flow under the material. They can be easily removed when cleaning is required.

Steel gutter guards mostly sit in the top of the gutter and can be fixed or left loose for removal when cleaning is required.

Bottle Brush Gutter Guards come in lengths of 1 meter and can be used in sections to sit inside the gutter to stop leaves clogging the bottom of the gutter. They can be removed easily when cleaning is required.
