gutter guards
The hooded gutter products (gutter covers) don't work any better than
gutter screens. They work differently, and present their own set of problems. The only real way to know if they will work well for your particular set of circumstances is to install them. But, it's an expensive lesson if they don't do the job. In my view, gutter covers are least efficient when you need gutter efficiency the most... in a heavy downpour. With a lot of tree coverage, the small channel the rain water is supposed to go into can get clogged easily... and frequently. I think a quality gutter screen is the way to go, if you want to maintain gutter efficiency and reduce the need for gutter maintenance. I have installed a variety of different products. I prefer Steelco screens. See http://www.gutterscreen.net . Good luck. |
