No More Blocked Gutters from Leaves, Moss and even Pine Needles,
GUARANTEED with our gutter guard!
SuraFlow-GutterGard is the only tried and tested
system that guarantees an end to clogged gutters by keeping leaves, moss, lichen
and pine needles out, and the water flowing. SuraFlow-GutterGard does
NOT use a mesh, nor slots, but integrates a patented design that provides a total
physical barrier to the debris that can clog open gutters. SuraFlow-GutterGard
is installed by trained professional fitters, with added peace of mind provided
by a five year warranty and a lifetime no-clog guarantee. Suraflow-GutterGard
is the last element of a truly maintenance free property because now, you don’t
even need to clean out your gutters.
There are a number of key factors
that ensures the SuraFlow-GutterGard system is effective in keeping debris of
gutters while allowing the water to flow in. In particular the surface coating
and the contoured shape. The anodized surface of SuraFlow-GutterGard system
has very low oil/wax content and is slightly porous. This helps reduce surface
tension of the water which under normal circumstances would bead, but with the
SuraFlow-GutterGard system, the water forms into a micron thick layer which adheres
to the contour of the bend, flowing over the surface into the gutter below. Larger
objects such a leaves needles that are likely to have been washed down from the
roof are unable to remain in suspension as the water travels around the bend,
because of the ‘thinness’ of the layer of water, and as such are expelled from
the surface onto the floor below. Performance Water handling capacity
is measured in litres per millimetre per metre width. In the UK it is generally
accepted that existing gutter systems will handle a maximum rainfall of 75mm/hour.
The SuraFlow-GutterGard system has been tested and proved to handle 40 litres/min/m,
which on a 10m roof length equates to 40mm/min (2400mm/hour), or 32 times the
accepted maximum rainfall for mainland UK. Debris Removal The main
principle is that the SuraFlow-GutterGard system provides a total physical barrier
to leaves falling into the gutter. Any that settle on top of the system are mainly
blown off, even wet ones as they dry. Moss is shown to roll directly over the
section, or if wet, again will be blown off when dried. Smaller leaves and pine
needle are washed over the section, generally failing to adhere to the curved
front section. Some small parts of leaves, lichen, soil or tile dust may be
left in suspension in the rain and may follow the curve into the gutter. In this
event it has been demonstrated that any debris small enough to be held in suspension
will be flushed away once in the gutter with the normal flow of water. | |
