Gutter screens are a type of gutter cover (like a mesh), filled with holes or vertical openings that cover a gutter system and attach to the roof shingles.

Gutter Helmet Solid Gutter Cover

 Small holes in screens are better than large holes because they don’t clog as easily. The problem with gutter screens in general is that they keep leaves out, but small debris can still enter gutters through the holes. Pine needles, seeds and tree matter can get stuck in the small openings and stop the flow of rainwater into the gutter system.

Unlike gutter screens, Gutter Helmet’s multi-patented design has no vertical openings that can allow small fragments of debris to enter gutters. With Gutter Helmet’s solid gutter cover, leaves and debris are forced over the gutter cover and onto the ground, while surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive curved cover design and into the gutters.

All rain gutter protection systems are not created equal. Gutter Helmet is the only system that really does what it advertises and backs that promise with a Lifetime Warranty. This is why Gutter Helmet is installed in more homes than any other gutter protection system.
