'GUTTERGUARD'

		What is Gutterguard? Gutterguard is a low maintenance gutter protection system designed to ensure the proper flow of roof water and eliminate the hassles of cleaning your existing gutters.
Gutterguard is made of perforated aluminum, designed to sit flat on top of your existing gutter, allowing rain water to flow in, and leaves, needles and debris to dry up and blow away.
Made of durable aluminum, stands up to the elements, will not break down, or be damaged by birds or rodents. Sits flat on the mouth of the gutter, allowing rainwater to flow directly in from the pitch of the roof. Easily installed in 8 ft. lengths, screw fastened securely to the mouth of the gutter. No need to remove or replace your existing aluminum gutter system! Attractive design - hides unsightly gutter hangers and silicone mess.

Installation InstructionsTools Required:

Aluminum Tin Snips
Cordless Screw Gun (Optimal)

Screws: 3/8" - 5/8" Machine Screws
1" - 1 ¼" Wood Screws

1. Clean gutters thoroughly, checking for leaks at corners or seams, and repair as needed. It is important to check that existing gutters are sloped and flowing properly to ensure Gutterguard will work properly.

2. With a sharp knife, cut and remove existing cone from the top of the plastic outlet at the top of the downpipe. Make sure to remove all protrusions from outlet cone to prevent debris blockage as it flushes down outlet.

3. Start installing Gutterguard with a 1" overlap leaving a 12" open section over each downpipe outlet. Install a 13" section of Guttergaurd over this open area as an access hatch for future inspections.

4. Lay Gutterguard in place over mouth of gutter, with the front screw flange on the front lip of gutter ( see diagram ) and the rear screw flange resting near the back of the gutter. Screw through the front screw flange into the front lip of gutter approximately every 2 feet with small screws no longer than 5/8".

5. Overlaps: Overlap each 8' length approximately ½"- 1" Screw fasten in center of Gutterguard to join into next piece. At overlaps, screw rear screw flange into rear of gutter and fascia board with 1" wood screws. Do not screw too tight to draw Gutterguard into fascia board.

6. Outside / Inside Corners : Cut Gutterguard at 45 degree angle allowing ½" - 1" overlap as above, and use same method of fastening. Remember center screw at overlap.
