With all the wild weather we have been having, we have all been up on our roofs checking our gutters, and THREE65 Spouting have some advice on gutter helmets versus leaf guards. When two things appear to be so similar it can be really hard to choose, and if you’re tossing up between installing a gutter helmet or a leaf guard, THREE65 can help.

A gutter helmet lets rainwater in while keeping leaves and debris out. Its patented nose-forward design is what keeps it all out. The downside is that it completely blocks gutters, so when you do need to get in there, it can be inconvenient. It also adds a very obvious border to existing roof structures, which can tamper with the aesthetics of your home. Gutter helmets are often more expensive than leaf guards without doing much more.

A leaf guard is clog-free, has a protective overhang/trim, and when purchased at Three65 Spouting, can be professionally installed to ensure quality and longevity. There are three leaf guards:

The Great Barrier leaf gutter guard system is 97% effective at keeping leaves out of gutters, and 100% effective at keeping birds, rodents and other pests from getting inside your roof. It fits almost all existing gutters and lasts up to 20 years.

Gutter foam is designed to let water through while keeping leaves, birds and rodents out. It is UV resistant and comes with a seven-year product warranty. It is cheap and easy to install, with almost zero future maintenance required.

The Colorsteel Leaf Screen is a louvred metal screen that keeps 99% of all organic matter out of spouting. This is the only product THREE65 Spouting install to prevent birds and rodents from getting into your roof, and they give a 100% money back guarantee.

The reason that THREE65 don’t sell gutter helmets is because they truly believe in the efficiency and capabilities of leaf guards. Leaf guards are versatile, easier to install and take care of, and are more affordable. When you use one of our gutter guards, you can be sure to be free of leaves, birds and rodents!
