Gutter Guards: Factors to Consider
Here are four things to think about before you install gutter guards.
Width of your gutters – Before purchasing gutter guards, make sure to measure them. The gutter width is usually five inches. However, some homes may have gutters that are four or six inches wide.
Climate – If your climate is prone to snow and ice, then flimsy plastic mesh guards are not the best choice. Consider using a stronger metal such as steel.
Type of roof – Roofs with steep roofs, difficult roofs, and long rooflines are more expensive to install.
Type of guard – From plastic screen guards to sturdy steel screens. Cleaning preferences and budget will determine the type of guard that you choose.
Different types of gutter guards
Gutter guards can be made from metal or plastic. They can either be placed on top of the gutter or inside it. These are some of the most common gutter guards.
Plastic Screen
PVC plastic gutter guards are the most affordable. The quality of the product is also reflected in its price. You will typically find the material in rolls measuring the width of your gutter. Then, cut the rolls before installing. It’s a simple DIY project as you just need to lay the screen over the gutter. Tuck the edges underneath the eave.
Although these gutter guards are resistant to leaves and pine needles, they can easily be blown off or moved. The plastic can also become brittle and warp in extreme temperatures. Plastic guards typically last three to six years.
Aluminum Perforated
Aluminum sheeting with small holes is another affordable option for gutter guard materials. The guard can be attached to your gutters with the included fasteners. The option is simply to bend the edges to fit the gutter. To maneuver the guard around the gutter’s sharp edges, you will need to use a hacksaw and tin snips.
Gutter guards made of aluminum block most debris and won’t rust. They can last between 10 and 20 years. These guards can become difficult to clean if seeds or other small debris get into your gutters.
Steel Screen
Steel mesh gutter guards, while similar to acrylic gutter guards in appearance, are more durable and strong. These gutter guards are just as simple to install as plastic guards. But you’ll need to use plastic container scissors to position the gutter guard. This type of gutter guard is effective at keeping leaves and pine needles out of gutters. They are also simple to maintain. Simply wait until the debris has dried before brushing it away. Steel guards have a lifespan of 10 years.
Not all steel screen protectors are made equal. Powder-coated steel guards will repel rust. Avoid the guards that fasten by tucking them underneath the first layer of roofing shingles. This will expose your roof deck and may void your roof warranty.
Foam
Foam gutter guards are installed inside the gutter. They can be used to protect the gutter from debris falling in. Mesh and screens will sit on top of it to keep debris from falling in. These foam wedges made of polyurethane foam are porous enough that water can flow through the gutter. Down the spout, leaves and other debris will not stick to the foam.
Polyurethane can also break down and release microplastics into groundwater runoff. Algae and fungus can also grow on foam, making it unpleasant and odorless. Therefore, you will need to periodically wash the foam. These foam inserts can be used for up to 10 years, but are short-lived during sunny or wet climates.
Micro-mesh
These type of gutter guards can be made from steel, aluminum, or plastic. Because of the fineness of their mesh, they are more pricey than some other mesh guards. Although micro-mesh guards are less likely to catch debris, they can be blocked more easily. Micro-mesh guards can be a great option for houses located in areas with large leafy trees and wet climates.
These guards vary in price and durability depending on the material. Although plastic is the most affordable, it can only last three years. Although powder-coated metal can be used for as long as 12 years. It is more expensive than micro-mesh protectors made of plastic.
Brush
Brushes are similar to foam gutter guards. They sit in the gutters and block debris flow. These metal rods have nylon or plastic bristles that are attached at every angle, much like a circular brush. These are easy to install, but you’ll need to trim them with a hacksaw if the length is too long. They are durable and can last for 10 to 20 years. However, they are quite expensive.
Brush guards are good for keeping out large debris and leaves dry. But seeds and pine needles can stick to bristles and make it difficult to clean. The brushes may need to be cleaned as frequently as the gutters. You’ll also have the same problems with microplastics when the bristles start to degrade as with foam.
Surface Tension Guards/Gutter Helmets
Unlike other gutter covers, strong gutter helmets cover the entire gutter. They have a metal lip that points towards the gutter’s outer edge. Surface tension allows water to run down the helmet onto the lip. While leaves and other debris slip off the cover. To remove debris that hasn’t slipped off the cover, you can use a brush or broom.
Gutter helmets or surface tension guards can last for up to 20 years. The guard’s one end is attached to the roof’s fascia. This requires professional installation by a gutter guard business. Gutter helmets are the most expensive option. Add in installation costs and material costs.
Not all surface tension gutter helmets can be purchased directly from the manufacturer.
