CAN THE STAINLESS STEEL MESH TEAR?
In normal weathering conditions it will never tear. However, it may tear if an entire tree falls on it. |
Is there a difference in the types of stainless steel mesh used on gutter guards in the market today?
Yes. GutterGlove® uses 316L stainless steel, the highest grade available for our application. Other companies may use the lower quality steels such as type 304, or even standard 316. |
Is there any maintenance involved?
Like other gutter guards on the market today, especially those that say “no maintenance” for their product… there IS maintenance involved on EVERY gutter guard marketed today. The maintenance is very simple, it’s easy and only takes a few minutes. |
WILL GUTTERGLOVE® FIT ON ANY GUTTER?
GutterGlove® fits on just about every existing and new gutter system. In the slight chance that it wouldn’t fit, our Certified Installer would make that determination upon evaluating your home. An example of where it would not be ideal: If the gutter and roof are so old that they are warped and very crooked, GutterGlove® may not work effectively. |
WILL GUTTERGLOVE® OUT-PERFORM OTHER COMPETITIVE GUTTER GUARDS?
A resounding Yes! When compared to the “reverse curve water flow systems” (old technology from the 1920’s), the guards that have that roundish nose at the edge of the gutter and say “nothing but water gets through”… there is no comparison at all! GutterGlove® outperforms them time and time again. Simply put, performance is based on how much debris gets through a gutter guard. So however big the hole is to allow water through to your gutter, will be the size of debris that can get through also. When comparing hole sizes, the reverse curve gutter guards have holes that are about 50 times larger than GutterGlove®! And, they can cost up to twice as much to install! |
WILL GUTTERGLOVE® HANDLE HEAVY SNOW-LOADS IN HIGH ELEVATIONS?
Yes. It will handle hundreds of pounds of snow! Your gutters would collapse before GutterGlove® would break! |
WILL DEBRIS COLLECT ON THE TOP OF GUTTERGLOVE® AND NOT FALL OFF?
In general, most of the debris (leaves, sand, small tree debris) falls off GutterGlove®. Through Gutterglove’s extensive research program, we have discovered that a combination of rain pounding, the slope of the roof, and gentle to strong winds push virtually all debris off Gutterglove. The pounding of the rain actually self-cleans the mesh in most situations! |
IS GUTTERGLOVE® TOO HEAVY FOR A GUTTER?
No! It weighs approximately 12.8 ounces per foot. Or, 4 pounds for our 5 foot sections! Don't worry about the weight though, because half the weight rests on your roof and the other half on your gutters. Only 6.4 ounces per foot actually rests on your roof. |
WHY DOES GUTTERGLOVE® USE AN ANODIZED PERFORATED ALUMINUM FRAME TO SUPPORT THE STAINLESS STEEL MESH?
Anodizing the aluminum frame is definitely overkill, but then again, all the components used in Gutterglove® are. The founders of Gutterglove® believe that using the highest quality parts in our product is but one of several things that homeowners want. |
