Compare Gutter Helmet to Gutter Screens

There are various types of gutter protection systems such as solid gutter covers, foam and gutter screens, all work a bit differently and have pros and cons.

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. 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 has a 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.

Gutter Helmet of NC: The Difference Between Gutter Helmet, Gutter Guards and Gutters Screens

Ever wonder what the difference is between a gutter helmet, gutter cover, gutter guard or gutter screens? There are product differences. Technically speaking, Gutter Helmet is a solid aluminum gutter cover or gutter guard. Gutter Helmet’s gutter protection system has been reviewed and tested against other brands in a side by side comparison. Gutter Helmet protected better than gutter screens or gutter foams. Gutter Helmet has the distinct advantage of being solid gutter system. Our cover is designed to keep leaves and tree debris out and prevent clogged gutters, while allowing rain and melting snow in, so it drains freely away from your home preventing damage.

Gutter screens on the other hand, allow pine needles and certain types of debris to enter gutters through small holes or slits in the cover. Gutter Helmet is a solid gutter guard system, not a screen. Gutter Helmet is NOT foam either. Gutter foams attempt to absorb water and block leaves from entering gutters. The problem is that leaves build up on top of the foam. When leaves and tree matter break down and decompose, particles and debris can enter gutters building up and causing clogs.

Gutter Helmet’s gutter guard system has been tested and ranked as the #1 rain gutter protection system in America by Dean Johnson, Host of Hometime.

Gutter Guard Reviews and Comparison: How does Gutter Helmet’s system compare to screens and other gutter covers?

What’s the difference between a gutter guard, gutter helmet, gutter covers and gutter screens? Gutter Helmet’s patented gutter guard system has been reviewed and time tested for over twenty five years. In a side by side comparison of various gutter protection products, Gutter Helmet protected better and kept our more tree debris than other gutter protection products. Gutter Helmet installs the best gutter protection system using a solid aluminum gutter cover that repels leaves and debris  and prevents clogged gutters.  Rain water travels over the smooth curved surface and through gravity is pulled into the gutter through a small slit in the side of the cover, where it drains safely away from your home. Gutter screens on the other hand are mesh covers full of holes and hundreds of tiny vertical slits that allow pine needles and certain types of debris to enter et caught in the openings, thus clogging the cover and/or gutters and making it less effective at capturing and draining away water.

Gutter Helmet is a solid gutter cover, not a screen. Gutter Helmet is NOT foam either. Gutter foams attempt to absorb water and block leaves from entering gutters. The problem is that leaves build up on top of the foam. When leaves and tree matter break down and decompose, particles and debris can enter gutters building up and causing clogs.

What are the Pros/Cons of Various Gutter Protection Systems?

Why are some  gutter protection systems better than others? There are various ways to classify and rate gutter covers, gutter guards and other gutter protection products. They can be divided into very broad or very specific categories. Let’s review the pros & cons of each.

There are six basic types of gutter protection systems or devices:

  • Reverse curve gutter covers
  • Mesh or gutter screens
  • Bottle brush gutter inserts
  • Foam type gutter inserts

Reverse Curve Gutter Helmet Design

The reverse curve is designed to direct water downward into the gutter through a tiny slit but encourage leaves to fall to the ground. It’s known to be the most effective gutter protection design. Gutter Helmet is a reverse curve gutter cover.

Mesh or screen gutter guard systems are sheets filled with holes that cover the gutter and attach to the roof shingles. Small holes are better than large holes because they don’t clog as easily. This type of gutter protection still allows for small leaves and debris like pine needles to enter gutters. This is not an effective long term solution, especially if your home is in a wooded area.

Bottle brush gutter guards are similar to those pokey bristles that prevent birds from landing on things like statues. The bristles face upright so debris rests on top and get stuck on bristles.  

Foam Type gutter protection systems are made from a plastic that fits directly into the gutter. It’s supposed to block all the debris falling from the roof and into the gutter. Instead, leaves accumulate on top of the foam and break down. Debris enters gutters  and can still lead to clogs and other problems.

Gutter Helmet solid gutter covers are the most effective gutter protection system on the market today. Our patented design has been protecting homes for over 25 years. Every Gutter Helmet system comes with a Triple Lifetime Transferable Warranty.

Solid Gutter Covers Protect Gutters Better than Screens

Solid gutter covers by Gutter Helmet are more effective than gutter screens at keeping leaves and debris out of gutters. Gutter screens don’t work as well as a solid gutter cover design because gutter screens have small openings that allow leaves, and pine needles to enter gutters, which over time leads to clogs. Gutter Helmet’s patented gutter cover is the first solid gutter cover ever designed over 25 years ago. Today Gutter Helmet is the leading gutter protection system.

Gutter Helmet Gutter Protection

Gutter Helmet’s solid gutter cover design has a protective surface finish called Permalife™. This special long lasting surface is rust proof and resists stains, scratches and wear and tear. Our patented gutter covers are designed to last the life of your home – guaranteed.   Once you install a Gutter Helmet solid gutter cover, you never have to clean your gutters again – guaranteed.
