Leaf Guard: Protect Your Gutters From Debris This Autumn

Autumn often evokes feelings of warmth and comfort; you probably have memories of drinking hot chocolate and kids playing with the gold and red leaves that have fallen from trees onto the road and nature strips below. But autumn can also cause a lot of frustration for homeowners, as it often means more cleaning of roof gutters. Leaves and other debris can easily clog gutters, leading to you having to climb up onto your roof to remove it all by hand. Luckily, there is a solution: introducing Leaf Guard.

Leaf Guard is an aluminium mesh made from exposure grade sheet that is expanded into a patented diamond pattern. Leaf Guard is then covered in a powder coating and comes in wide range of colours that match up with the Colorbond range. Leaf Guard uses a metal angle trim and roofing screws to attach to your gutter and, unlike plastic gutter guard solutions, the aluminium is designed to last.

Having to climb a ladder to get up onto your roof to remove leaves and other rubbish by hand is an arduous task that can also be risky; especially if you are elderly or have had previous injuries or other health issues. Leaf Guard still allows water to flow through your gutters to your downpipes without allowing leaves or other debris into them, causing blockages. Leaf Guard also prevents pests such as mice and roaches from entering your roof via the gutters.

If not cleaned regularly, leaves and other debris can cause blockages in your gutters and downpipes, resulting in your gutters overflowing and causing extensive damage to your plaster and gardens which could require very costly repairs. Leaves and debris can also attract moisture, which could oxidise and rust your gutters, forcing them to require early replacement.

Leaf Guard truly is the maintenance free solution for keeping your gutters and downpipes free from obstructions and keeping your weekends free so you can enjoy the more important things in life.
