Because the method of attachment is the most important part of any gutter system, the Gutter Shutter system attaches to the home using our unique, patent-pending Gutter Stud, the heart of the system.Unlike typical systems that use an inexpensive plastic or glass filled polypropylene bracket, the Gutter Stud is made mostly from a virgin nylon material which will not shift due to material breakdown because of weather conditions. It is applied to the fascia using two 3″ galvanized screws, no nails or rivets, and spaced every 24″ on the board vertically, ensuring permanent attachment to the home.
