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 GutterStud. The Gutter Stud is made mostly from a virgin nylon material which will not shift due to material breakdown because of weather conditions and is applied to the fascia using only two 3-inch galvanized screws, no nails or rivets, spaced every 24 inches on the board in a vertical fashion, ensuring permanent attachment to the home.
