Gutter screens offer numerous benefits when it comes to keeping your gutters free from debris.
One of the major advantages is that they are simple to install, making them an affordable and convenient option for homeowners.
Effective at Keeping Out Debris
Gutter screens are very effective in keeping out large debris such as leaves, and are available for virtually all roof types, including shingle, steel, slate, wood, and tile roofs.
The advantages of using gutter screens extend beyond their effectiveness and convenience. They also help to prevent costly damage to your home’s foundation by ensuring water flows freely through the gutters and away from the foundation.
Dry leaves, pine needles, and debris can easily accumulate in your gutters from nearby and overhanging trees, blocking your gutters and preventing rainwater from being redirected.
Minimize Fire Danger
The hot dry weather also makes this accumulation of combustible materials a fire danger for your house or building.
If ignited, the fire will easily access the roof edge fascia board and travel to plywood roof sheathing where it can enter your attic.
The fire department’s recommendation for preventing fires includes regular gutter cleaning. Access to gutters, especially on upper stories or steep roofs, can be difficult and dangerous.
Kobett Metals offers durable metal gutter screens to prevent fire hazards.
The screens keep out leaves and debris and save you money by eliminating the need for future gutter cleaning.
Easy Installation
When it comes to installation, gutter screens are easy to fit into your gutters. They can be cut into sections that fit perfectly and simply wedged in between the fascia and the gutter.
Depending on your preference, you can choose from metal or plastic screening.
Certain types of screens can be screwed down for added security, while others can be dropped in place.
Metal screens are usually fastened down, while plastic screens are designed to be easily installed.
Available for Different Types of Roofs
Another type of gutter screen is designed to slide up under the shingles. This ensures that the mesh screening is held in place, while still making it easy to remove and check the gutters from time to time.
This type of gutter screen does not require any fastening as long as the shingles allow for sliding the screens underneath them.
The gutter screens come in a variety of metals, including copper, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Overall, gutter screens are an excellent investment for homeowners looking to prevent gutter clogs and ensure proper water flow.
