The Englert LeafGuard Gutter system works on the principle of liquid adhesion. The gutter's patented, curved design allows rain water to travel down, around and into the gutter's trough while deflecting leaves and debris LeafGuard gutters are guaranteed not to clog for as long as you own a home. Which means say goodbye to the dangerous job of climbing ladders to clean out your gutters, or the expense of hiring somebody else to do it. With your gutters running free and clear you needn't worry about water damage to your home. LeafGuard gutters are custom fit, attractively designed, durable and are even made in a variety of colors LeafGuard Get it and Forget it. One Piece Seamless Gutter. LeafGuard Gutters are not a temporary fix for your gutter problems; They are a lifetime solution. LeafGuard handles snow and ice the same as it does tree debris, it sheds it off. You may have icicles as it sheds the snow off the top of the gutter, however, LeafGuard's unique patented one-piece design doesn't allow the snow or ice to go up the back of the gutter, and we also guarantee that LeafGuard will never pull away from your house from the weight of the snow or ice. You'll love the way LeafGuard gutters look. The low profile design enhances the exterior of your home, blends in beautifully and won't interfere with your roof warranty or re-roofing. Englert LeafGuard is a seamless, one-piece aluminum gutter. The aluminum we use is 20% thicker than that found in ordinary gutters, and will never rust or deteriorate like some galvanized steel gutters. Plus, the baked enamel finish is warranted not to chip, peel or crack for 20 years. With no movable parts, the LeafGuard system provides superior protection against wind and storm damage. The seamless construction also eliminates the possibility of debris entering the gutter from behind--a common problem with gutters that are not seamless, leaf-shedding covers. Also, everythng attaches to the fascia, not the roof.
