Leaf Free Gutter System
Clog-Free Gutter Solution
The K-guard™ Leaf Free System is a complete engineered, fully integrated, leaf-free gutter system. No other system can offer the strength, durability, capacity, and visual appeal of K-Guard™.
Strength
The K-Guard™ Leaf Free System is built around our patented, all-weather, high-strength polymer hangers. This unique angled design allows the hanger to support vertical loads of 70 lbs. per hanger, and the hood can support 60 lbs. per square foot. The hangers are screwed through the fascia board and into the rafter tails, set every 24 inches inside the gutter. These hangers fully support the front and back of the gutter as well as the hood, keeping the gutter from sagging or deforming.
Durability
The lifespan of the K-Guard™ Leaf Free System is practically unlimited. Made of heavy-duty .032″ aluminum, the base material will never corrode. Our patented hangers give our gutters the strength to withstand virtually any weather conditions.
Capacity
Thanks to its oversized construction, our K-Guard™ Leaf Free System can handle more water than any other system. Since our gutters accommodate the larger 3×4-inch downspouts, the K-Guard™ Leaf Free System easily handles severe downpours and flushes out any small pieces of debris that may occasionally enter the system.
Visual Appeal
In contrast to the sharp corners and vertical faces of most gutter systems, the smooth, curved appearance of the K-Guard™ Leaf Free System compliments and adds beauty to your home. Often referred to as having crown molding on the exterior of your home! Ask your sales representative about our variety of colors.
K-Guard™ Gutter Features
Self-Flushing Dual Drains
Our gutters are equipped with both a front and rear drain to maximize water collection. This unique design causes the water to enter the gutter at two different angles, optimizing water flow and flushing out any debris. Our system’s rear drainage channel helps prevent wind-blown water from collecting under your roof’s edge and freezing, minimizing the potential for ice damming and associated damage.
High Back Hem
The K-Guard Leaf Free System has a high back hem. This unique design allows us to install the gutters under the drip edge, giving added protection to your fascia board. This also prevents debris, water, and ice from seeping behind the gutters. No more drips coming from behind your gutters, and no rotten fascia boards. Since we do not interfere with your roof to install, there are no issues such as damaged shingles or voided roof warranties.
Removable Flip-Up Hood
Our K-Guard Leaf Free System is far easier to install and repair than any one-piece system. The open gutter is hung first, and then the hood is attached. If the hood is ever damaged by hail, ladders, or tree branches, it is easily removed and replaced without having to dismantle the gutter and downspouts. If the homeowner is curious to see how the gutters work they can lift the hood and peek inside. The hood can be removed to facilitate a retrofit installation of heating cable to prevent icicle formation.
