Leaf protector are an entirely new gutter with a built-in protection lip. They replace your whole gutter system, and are installed typically in one seamless unit. This is a more involved process than most gutter protection systems, so much of the cost of the product and the installation is essentially wasted. After all, your gutters are likely fine, being built out of aluminum they can last for many years. Your gutters have a problem, but that is just that they are being clogged with debris. No need to replace them to fix that problem!
Leaf protector are an effective (if expensive) way to prevent debris from clogging your gutters. Our Gutter Cap system actually works by a similar principle, but with an important twist. Leaf protector are vulnerable, during heavy rain, to simply jettisoning water off the sides of the roof, rather than capturing the water in the gutter system. That is because uncoated aluminum is a very smooth surface, and does not slow the water down. This may not sound like a problem, but water escaping the gutter is exactly what you want to avoid, as it can erode your landscaping and damage your foundation!
When you weigh your options, the gutter protection system that is best for you depends on a number of factors. If your gutters are otherwise damaged and would benefit by replacement, leaf protector do offer an integrated new gutter system. That being said, the intrinsic properties of uncoated aluminum do present a risk to your landscaping and foundation, as water can escape the roof in heavy storms.
By comparison, our Gutter Cap offers a clever twist on this design, for all of the benefits with none of the downside! We designed our gutter protection solution after having closed considered the available solutions, and just finding none that did the job adequately. For instance, our Gutter Cap operates by a similar principle by using rainwater’s natural surface tension to redirect it, but with a different material to slow its flow. By using metal coated in asphalt, we can ensure that the water flows over the filter slowly. That way, it doesn’t end up in your yard, or worse, in your basement!
