Such a gutter works only if it is kept clog-free and clear of leaves and pine straw. As soon as it becomes clogged, water will spill over or, worse yet, get behind the gutter and possibly damage your wood fascia board behind the gutter. Up to now there has not been an effective solution for this problem. LeafGuard is a one-piece seamless aluminum gutter and hood, which sheds leaves, pine straw and other debris. There is no more expense or risk in having gutters unclogged.
Water goes into the gutter but leaves, pine straw, and other debris shed off and fall to the ground.
The more water flowing down the roof, the better surface adhesion. In fact, LeafGuard has been successfully tested in simulated rainfall up to 21 inches of rainfall per hour. Besides eliminating the need to clean out your gutters, LeafGuard is more attractive than regular gutters. In fact, some homeowners comment that LeafGuard looks more like decorative molding than a gutter.
