Gutters become clogged when leaves and debris fall onto your roof and accumulate in the gutters. When it rains, debris in your gutters causes your downspouts to clog and your gutters to overflow. This causes rot and damage to your home, lawn, basement and landscaping.

Gutter Helmet^® patented nose-forward design prevents leaves and debris from entering your gutter system. Your Gutter Helmet^® system channels rainwater around the nose-forward panel and through a precise 3/8" horizontal slit. In turn, the principles of gravity and surface tension combine to allow rainwater to flow into your gutters and leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground below.

Finally, our installation procedures and methods have been evaluated and approved by major roofing manufacturers.

The angle of a roof is called pitch. Gutter Helmet® has engineered a variety of installation techniques to work on any pitch roof, from flat to almost vertical. Rest assured that rainwater will flow into your Gutter Helmet^®-protected gutters, regardless of the pitch. Many products on the market promise their systems will handle 22", 24", or even 30" of rain per hour; but what does that mean? Actually, almost any product can handle large amounts of rain if it is installed on a relatively flat roof with a very short roof run. For example, Gutter Helmet^® could claim to handle 109" per year. a very true. but very misleading statement (very low pitch with a 5 foot roof run). The fact is that it has never rained more than 12" in a single hour in the US. Check the chart below. It gives you the facts about Gutter Helmet^®'s water handling capability in a variety of roof pitches and roof runs. Then ask 'the other guys' just what they mean when they make their claims.

Gutter Helmet^® is designed to blend into the natural architectural style of your home. Eight colors plus solid copper are available to match your roof shingle so that an installed system becomes an almost invisible year-round protection from the damage caused by overflowing gutters.

Gutter Helmet^® is precision-engineered to work well in heavy snowfalls. Gutter Helmet^® has been proven on thousands of homes in the heavy snow-load regions of Canada, New York, Minnesota and New England states.
