There are many gutter protection systems available that can handle a light drizzle, but how many of them can stand up to a torrential down pour? The South-East is no stranger to hurricane level rains, and any homeowner without proper gutter protection might not be able to protect his or her home from the water as it pours over the edge.
Many gutter protection systems are designed to completely cover the gutter, and use a smooth curved plastic lip to guide the water back underneath, and into the gutter. If you’ve ever tried to pour water out of a container, only to have it stick and run down the side, you understand how they work.
Unfortunately for anyone that has this type of system installed on their home, it has quite a few flaws. In addition to the debris that can get swept over the edge and into the gutter, potentially forming a clog or blockage, they are also limited in the amount of water they can effectively handle.
Just like in the analogy above, where water stick to the side of a container as it’s being poured out, once the water really starts to flow, it no longer sticks, and pours cleanly over the edge. That’s great when making yourself a drink, but terrible for your gutters.
Gutterglove works differently, and isn’t affected by large amount of water. Instead of a plastic cover with a curved lip, Gutterglove has a stainless steel 50 micron micromesh that filters out debris smaller than the diameter of a human hair, but still allows high volumes of water to pass through uninterrupted. Even the heaviest rain of the entire hurricane season won’t be too much.
Gutterglove is compatible with all existing gutter systems, and can be installed quickly and easily by our trained professionals in a single day. Little to no modifications to your home’s exterior are required. Gutterglove is very lightweight, and is supported mostly by the edge of your roof, and not on your existing gutters.
If you want to protect your home with the most effective and advanced gutter filtration system available, choose Gutterglove. But don’t take our word for it – ask Angie’s List too.
