How does the Leafguard gutter work?
Liquid adhesion is the scientific principle behind Leafguard's unique design.Molecular attraction causes water molecules to adhere to the surface they rest on, in this case the Leafguard hood. Rainwater clings to the hood and falls into the gutter trough, while leaves and debris are deflected. It's that simple!
How sturdy is the Leafguard gutter? What is it constructed of?
Very sturdy. Our company only uses high quality .032 gauge aluminum from Reynolds. This gauge is approximately 20% thicker than the thickest conventional gutter. Also, Leafguard gutters are installed using internal hanging brackets that are screwed into the fascia board every two feet. We've eliminated the use of spikes, which tend to easily pull out of the fascia under the weight of debris, ice and snow.
How does it work in a heavy rain?
Leafguard has been laboratory tested in a simulated 21 inch per hour rainfall. It will do anything any conventional gutter system would do - accept clog.
In a heavy rain the water will just slide right off the gutter, won't it?
No. Leafguard will collect rainwater in a heavy rain just as it does in a light rain. The speed or volume of rain has to affect on the liquid adhesion principle of the system.
