Debris is trapped outside the gutter

Plant residues stay out of the gutter, preventing build-up and blockages that could cause infiltration. This significantly reduces the need for cleaning.

Protection against snow and ice build-up

Gutter guards prevent snow and ice from accumulating inside. Their presence prevents aluminum from deforming due to ice expansion in winter. This ensures normal water flow during melting.

Longer service life

Aluminium gutter guards, fastened with screws, optimize the strength and longevity of the ducts. Corners are protected from the damaging effects of UV rays, reducing deterioration.

How to install gutter guards

Installing an eavestrough cover follows a multi-stage process to ensure a precise fit and optimum protection of the eavestrough system. Here are the typical steps:

Before any work is carried out, it's essential to carry out a thorough inspection of the eavestroughs in place. This will detect any signs of corrosion, identify any leaks and check the stability of the fastenings. It's also important to check the positioning of the eavestroughs to ensure optimum water drainage.

Before installing the protection system, the gutters must be thoroughly cleaned. This includes the removal of any residues, such as leaves, dirt or twigs, which could interfere with the system's operation. This prior cleaning ensures that the eavestrough cover is optimally secured, minimizing the risk of blockages once installed.

The length of the eavestrough needs to be measured precisely, so that the eavestrough cover can be adjusted to these dimensions. Curves and angles must also be taken into account for a perfect fit.

Gutter guards are generally fastened with self-drilling screws. They are carefully fitted to the eavestrough, ensuring perfect alignment, then securely fastened to guarantee stability.

When eavestroughs are installed, a thorough check is required to ensure that the eavestrough cover is correctly positioned and that water is flowing properly. A simple test is to pour a bucket of water and observe how it flows.

After installation, regular maintenance is required to ensure that the gutter guard functions properly. This means frequently clearing away debris that has accumulated on the device, and checking that fastenings are secure.

Calling in the professionals for this operation remains the best option to guarantee precise, safe and long-lasting installation.

Gutter protection systems prevent leaves, debris and even small animals from becoming embedded in the gutter, ensuring optimum water flow. This protection reduces the risk of infiltration by maintaining a fluid flow.

The use of eavestrough guards minimizes the frequency of cleaning interventions and avoids the costs associated with hiring specialists for maintenance. What's more, these devices protect your eavestroughs from costly water damage by preventing blockages.

Gutter cleaning, especially in multi-storey buildings, is a risky business. Installing an eavestrough guard considerably reduces the frequency of this type of intervention, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents.

By eliminating residues and other obstructions, eavestrough guards protect your installations from corrosion and other forms of wear, thus extending their service life. This device provides added protection for your gutters.

Gutters can become nesting sites for certain animals. Installing a gutter guard prevents this, creating a less hospitable environment for pests.

In regions with harsh winters like Quebec, eavestrough guards play a key role in preventing ice build-up, which can damage structures and lead to costly repairs.

In addition to their functional benefits, eavestrough guards contribute to the neat appearance of your home by keeping your eavestroughs clean.

The quality of eavestrough guards varies, and expertise in installation can directly influence their effectiveness.

It’s essential to use high-quality products and qualified professionals to ensure optimal installation.
