GutterRoof F . A . Q .
Will Gutter Roof take away from the curb appeal of my home?
The majority of gutter protections use high profile indirect-connect bracket systems. Instead of following the roof line, the brackets raise the gutter protection above the gutter making it more noticeable. Gutter Roof uses a low profile mount which connects to the lip of the gutter and follows the contour of the roof. The roof granules work like camouflage with the gutter protection and the roof. We have matched our roof granules with most of the major roofing manufacturers.
Is Gutter Roof dependant upon roof pitch for effectiveness?
While many gutter protection systems can be installed on a limited pitch range, Gutter Roof can be installed on any pitched roof. Water surface tension is stronger on Gutter Roof because the roofing granules slow down the flow of water through absorption and friction. Gutter Roof out performs most of the metal dome systems currently available.
How is Gutter Roof installed?
Gutter Roof is based on a design developed in 1993. Gutter Roof mounts directly to the existing gutter and the roof. This low profile mounting system provides the strength to stand up to the elements and the aesthetic to go unnoticed and work properly.
Why is Gutter Roof more effective than other products?
There are subtle differences in the Gutter Roof design that makes it superior to other products. There are no vertical openings in the panel for debris to fill in or mesh together, clogging the system. The system is low profile and the gritty texture of Gutter Roof matches the texture and color of shingles, making it almost invisible. The finish doesn’t fade or chalk and is backed up by a lifetime warranty on the material.
Will the installation of Gutter Roof under my second row of shingles void my roof warranty?
There is a great deal of propaganda being spread by our competitors that are envious of our superior mounting system. We don’t know of any case where the roof mount proto-type has had an insurance claim filed for a leaky roof. Common sense dictates that it shouldn’t be a concern. Your roof wasn’t glued on. It was nailed. We have sent our installation techniques to the four major roofing manufacturers. They are satisfied that our installations methods will not compromise the integrity of the roof.
Will Gutter Roof provide ice protection in my gutters?
Only the heated systems provide ice protection along with leaf protection. Gutter Roof is specifically designed to keep out organic debris. You will see icicles much sooner because the ice will sit on top of the gutter protection instead of overflowing from the gutters. Icicles form on uncovered gutters in two ways; snow accumulating in gutters and water dripping from roof and refreezing in gutters until they overflow, and from ice that backs up through the downspout.
