What
is Gutter Helmet?
The revolutionary Gutter Helmet is a multi-patented closed
gutter protection system that installs over your existing
full-size gutters, protecting your home from the destructive
and damaging effects of rainwater. Gutter Helmet directs
rainwater into the gutter through a continuous 3/8" horizontal
opening, and because there are no vertical openings, leaves
and debris are forced over the edge and fall harmlessly
to the ground. Gutter Helmet can handle twice as much rain
as has ever been recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau …
up to 22" of rain per hour! Gutter Helmet is the strongest
gutter protection system on the market and is engineered
to last a lifetime with 7 patents. Gutter Helmet has helped
reduce the maintenance on more homes than all other gutter
protection systems …combined. Back to Top
How
does Gutter Helmet work?
Gutters become clogged when leaves and debris fall onto the
roof and accumulate in the gutters. Clogged and overflowing
gutters can result in rot and damage to your home, lawn, basement
and landscaping. Gutter Helmet keeps your gutters free flowing
by enclosing the gutter system and channeling water through
a continuous 3/8" horizontal opening. Because there are
no vertical openings, leaves and debris are prevented from
entering the gutter system. The multi-patented design of Gutter
Helmet and the principle of surface tension cause water to
flow over and around the nose of Gutter Helmet into the gutter.
Gutters remain free-flowing forever. Back

How
much does a professionally installed Gutter Helmet
system
cost?
The installation cost is determined by many factors. All installations
include an inspection and tune-up of your existing gutters
- cleaning, sealing, re-pitching and adding hangers as needed.
Other factors affecting cost include: number of stories of
your home; the need for special equipment to perform the installation
(due to the lay of the land or other variables); the condition
of your roof; the necessity of fascia repair and replacement;
and the linear feet of gutters and number of corners on your
home.
An inspection of your home by a professional Gutter Helmet
dealer is necessary to provide a fair installation estimate.

and estimate! Back

Will

How
does Gutter Helmet compare to screens and other products on
the market?
Screens and other products that have vertical slots, louvers
or other openings allow leaves and debris to clog gutters.
Gutter Helmet's unique, multi-patented design has no vertical
openings that can allow debris to settle or to enter. Gravity
causes leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground,
while water surface tension causes water to flow around the
exclusive cover design and back into your gutters. Back

My
roof is very steep. Will water shoot over the Gutter Helmet?
The angle of a roof is called pitch. Gutter Helmet is engineered
to
work on any pitch roof, from flat to vertical. Water will
flow into your gutters, regardless of the pitch. Back

How
strong is Gutter Helmet?
Gutter Helmet's patented horizontal-rib design is precisely
engineered to provide maximum strength and minimum stress
to your gutters. Gutter Helmet is the only system that installs
over reinforced heavy gauge brackets that strengthen and
support your gutters and works well in heavy snowfalls and
strong winds. Other products actually add stress to the gutters,
causing them to loosen and sag.

How
will Gutter Helmet affect the look of my home?
What colors
are available?
Gutter Helmet is designed to blend into the natural architectural
style
of your home. Colors are available that match the roof
shingle as closely as possible so that an installed system
becomes almost an invisible year-round protection from the
damage caused by overflowing gutters. Back
to Top
Will
Gutter Helmet prevent ice dams?
Gutter Helmet can help reduce the amount of ice build-up
in your gutters which slows the freeze / thaw expansion
process that causes gutter seams to split, hangers to loosen,
and gutters to pull off the house. Ice dams are caused by
poor ventilation. For more information on the cause and
prevention of ice dams, please contact your local Professional
Gutter Helmet dealer by visiting the Where to Buy page.
Your dealer can also guide you to additional sources of
information. Back

Will
Gutter Helmet work in heavy snows?
Gutter Helmet is precision-engineered to work well in heavy
snowfalls. Gutter Helmet has been proven on thousands of
homes in
the heavy snow-load regions of Canada, New York,
Minnesota and
New England states. Back

How
is Gutter Helmet installed?
Gutter Helmet is custom-fitted to your home by trained installers
who clean, seal, check and adjust the alignment of your gutter
system, as needed. Gutter Helmet is expertly installed with
heavy gauge reinforced support brackets. Gutter Helmet panels
are individually prepared and custom-fitted over your full-sized
gutters. Panels are then securely installed under or over
shingles, depending on a professional dealer inspection of
your home. Upon completion and final inspection, the site
is restored to its original condition. In most cases, installation
can be completed in just one day. Back
