The
No Worry Gutter system is the best we’ve
seen with several features and
benefits that out-perform the competition.
First and foremost, unlike other systems, our
No Worry Gutters are not nailed
into your roof - a process that can actually
void your roof's warranty!
No Worry Gutters are designed with a
specially formed and
perforated hood that creates a molecular bond
with the water,
directing it - but not debris - into the gutter.
In
addition to its outstanding performance, No
Worry Gutters
are attractive! You can mix and match the
color of your
gutter top and trough, giving you a seamless,
beautiful look.
And
best of all, No Worry Gutters cost FAR
LESS than other systems! |

Mesh or
Screen Gutter Covers
These
metal coverings fit inside against the
back of the gutter and across the top
acting like a strainer and filter. This
design is easy to install and less
expensive than the solid types. However,
while they reduce the frequency and
difficulty of ongoing gutter cleaning,
they do not eliminate it. Unsightly
debris together with snow and ice can
collect on top of the screen and cause it to
collapse. Over time, there is also a
chance for the screens to rust and stain
face of gutter. |

Gutter
Filters
Sponge-like foam "space fillers" that
let water drain through but keep leaves
from building up in the bottom of the
trough. These fillers do not have the
capacity to handle heavy rain and water
flow, and may cause overflow during
heavy rain. Snow and ice can also settle
into the foam, harboring the potential
for ice damming, sagging and
overflowing. |
 |
Solid
Gutter Covers
Made of
vinyl or aluminum, these solid gutter
covers snap onto the top front of the
gutter and slip under your shingles,
altering roofline and appearance. They
are nailed to your roof which pierces
shingles, roof felt and decking,
possibly voiding roof warranty or
causing leaks. Gutter covers may also
blow off in high wind conditions and due
to the lack of support, they are very
vulnerable to damage from weight of
debris, snow, or ice. |
 |
Solid
Gutter Covers with Slots
Most of
the solid cover gutter guards rely on
the principle of "water adhesion". The
water enters the gutter through slots or
small holes located underneath a lip or
on the vertical side. These gutters do
not keep out all small twigs, dirt,
asphalt roofing granules, and pine
needles. They perform less well in very
heavy rain falls or on steep roofs and
may not be considered visually
appealing. |
 |
Gutter
Brushes
Most, but
not all, leaves and large debris will
pass over gutter brushes. Small items
that get caught near the top of the
gutter brush either blow away or
decompose over time. However, over time,
the dirt, small twigs and pine needles
that do not pass through the gutter
brush may create a layer of 'gunk' in
the bottom of the gutter which may cause
staining and require periodic gutter
cleaning. |
