The Engineer says "It's the design that matters?"

There are over a hundred different type of gutter covers and gutter guards. But if you look at them closely, you'll see that they break down to six basic types of gutter guards and gutter covers. What makes them work and are they effective?

Read an indepth article that looks at each type of gutter protector and discusses the pros and cons of each type.

Ultimately when all is said and done, the one design that stands out among all the others is the Waterloov Gutter Protection System.

There are several reasons why this design stands out:
1. It has discriminating louvers in its' vertical face that limit the size of debris that can enter the gutter.

2. Because of the way rain water is admitted into the gutter, the design of the louvers create eddies that constantly sweep any small debris that enters the gutter along the gutter and down the downspout making it effectively the only real self cleaning gutter.

3. Any debris that accumulates on the outside of the louvers in heavy debris conditions can easily be cleaned away from the ground with a telescopic pole and bush. It's call "suit and tie" maintenance because it can literally be done with the homeowner dressed in a suit and tie. And, it can be done in the time it takes to walk around the home. Every other gutter cover, screen or filter requires a ladder to clean and maitain them.
