Gutter Shutter completely encloses and protects your gutters. There are no vertical openings for leaves and debris to enter, and no screens to clog. Rainwater flows over and around the nose of the Gutter Shutter system and into your gutters by the simple physical law of water surface tension. It’s just like the way water clings to the side of glass when poured. The Gutter Shutter system has more surface tension than any other system in our industry.

Gutter Shutter has a proven record of success in heavy snow areas such as Buffalo, Michigan and Canada, because it prevents ice and snow buildup in gutters. The formation of an ice dam is a natural function caused by a combination of effective home insulation, ventilation, and temperature variations. As snow and ice melt on heated roof areas, it migrates downward, often refreezing over the uninsulated areas of eaves and overhangs. The resulting ice dams that build and backup onto the roof can damage roof decking and shingles, and can even pull gutters right off your home. While Gutter Shutter does not prevent ice dams from forming, homeowners have found that the Gutter Shutter system greatly reduces the potential damage from ice by preventing ice buildup in gutters.

The larger the surface tension area the better the waterflow!
