How it works
While almost any mesh that is fitted in a similar fashion will work when it comes to keeping leaf debris,
birds and vermin out of your gutters, many fail at being a gutter protection system that can flush the
gutters of the fine dirt and dust that will get through the mesh. Due to the adhesive properties of water,
during heavy rain when you get the best flushing effect, water simply ‘sheets’ of the mesh.
All of our systems have been designed specifically for gutter protection and will collect 100% of rainwater.
When the gutters are free of large debris, the fine particles are flushed away to the downpipes, thereby
eliminating the build up of any sludge in the bottom of the gutters where seeds can germinate and grass
grow.
Years of research and development went into finding a design that would not only break the surface
tension of the water, but to also direct it in to the gutters. Meshes that were designed for other industries,
then adapted as a gutter screen, simply do not have this ability and end up becoming part of the problem
and not the solution.
See the difference
In the photo on the left, you can quite clearly see the water sheeting off the bottom of the mesh with very
little going through. This would not produce enough flow in your gutters to flush out the dirt and dust
whereas in the photo on the right, the bottom of the mesh is dry with all the water going through the mesh.
Make the right choice for your gutter protection.
These photos were taken in a controlled situation with the same water flow. Ask for a live demonstration, you will be amazed.
