How is Gutter Helmet’s Solid Gutter Cover Different from a Gutter Screen?
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’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.

For most people, their home is their biggest investment and they have a vested interest in maintaining that. The right rain gutter protection system, with a solid gutter cover, can prevent structural damage to your home and save thousands in costly repairs.
Preventing water damage by channeling rain water away from your home is easily accomplished with properly installed rain gutters and downspouts.

To prevent clogged gutter and water damage, you need to either keep gutters cleaned regularly so they don’t fill with tree debris and leaves, or invest in a good quality, effective rain gutter protection system.

Not only are plants beds and landscaping affected but sidewalks and driveways often suffer damage as well. Paint can crack and peel, and shingles and roofing can also become damaged from prolonged water exposure.

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
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.
