Not All Gutter Systems are Equal

LeafProof® is award-winning and contractor preferred and here's why:

Screens

LEAFPROOF®
Small 1/4-inch water channel opening leaves gutters virtually impenetrable. Made of sturdy .024-gauge aluminum

OTHERS

Easily clogged with small twigs, leaves and debris.
Will cave in from snow and ice buildup.

Vinyl

LEAFPROOF®
Sturdy .024 aluminum will deter damage from critters. Endcaps prevent small animals and birds from entering and nesting. Offers a lifetime, non-pro-rated transferable warranty on finish.

OTHERS
Squirrels and small birds can chew through the vinyl and build nests. Exposure to the elements can warp and crack vinyl over time.

Domed

LEAFPROOF®
Installed under the first row of shingles. Attaches to your existing gutter. Does not use screws or nails in the roof.

OTHERS

Installed under the second row of shingles which results in an unsightly profile. Most are screwed or nailed into the roof which could lead to potential leaks.

Combinations

LEAFPROOF®
Complete enclosure (including premade end caps) prevents penetration by birds and small animals. Aesthetically low profile matches your gutters and roofline for enhanced curb appeal. LeafProof® also helps prevent damage from ice and snow.

OTHERS
Most have a gap where birds and small animals may enter and build nests.
Product not installed under shingles leaves the roof edge exposed and creates potential for water damage.
