How the Gutter Helmet!® Gutter Protection System Works

The Gutter Helmet gutter protection system uses a multi-patented design to guard your gutters from leaves and debris and to ensure that even the heaviest amounts of rain water flow smoothly towards downspouts and away from your home.

1) STRENGTHENING TEXTURE

Our patented texturing process provides amazing strength from a lighter panel, reducing
weight and stress on your
gutters. Texturing also
increases rain-handling
performance by up to
60% over smooth panels.

2) PERMALIFE™ COATING

Our patented coating won't fade
or chalk, and is not corroded by acid
rain. The Teflon-like coating has
special additives that work overtime
to help prevent the dirt and organic
build-up common to other products.

3) THREE CUSTOMIZED BRACKETS

Patented brackets allow our installers to
customize Gutter Helmet for your home.
All brackets reinforce your existing full-size
gutters and support even the heaviest snow loads.

4) SURFACE TENSION IS THE KEY

tension makes Gutter Helmet work.

5) RIBBED DESIGN

Flow-limiting ribs slow
and spread the water,
causing it to sheet instead
of bead. The ribs also add
to Gutter Helmet's strength.

6) NOSE-FORWARD DESIGN

Gutter Helmet's nose is flush with
gutters so there are no vertical openings for
leaves, pine needles, or other debris to get through.

7) 3/8" HORIZONTAL GAP

A 3/8" gap means no slots or screens to clog. It is also the ideal spacing to handle the heaviest rains while helping to keep birds and debris out.

You won't find this type of comprehensive gutter protection from run of the mill gutter screens and gutter filters. Gutter Helmet has been refining its patented technology since 1963!
