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.
