How it fits
There are two basic methods of installing a screen gutter guard and all
methods are a variation of one of these two, depending on the type of roof
you have. Both are secured to the top outer edge of your gutter system
with a colour steel or copper 90° trim. The mesh is then secured to your
roof either over long run iron or under a row of tiles.
Valleys are fitted in a similar fashion with the mesh once again going either
over long run iron or under tiles.
When fitting over long run iron, the mesh is either secured to the roof with
high tensile (0.55 BMT) saddle clips or pinned to the side of the riser
dependent on the long run roof profile.
The finished look will vary between houses due to factors such as the pitch
of the roof, type of roof and the height of the front of the gutter compared to
your roof.
