LeafGuard® Questions and
Answers
Question: Can Englert LeafGuard be
installed on existing Gutters?
Answer: Englert LeafGuard is a seamless,
one-piece system attached to the fascia board of the
house with strong, specially fabricated internal brackets.
Englert LeafGuard is roll formed to seamless custom
lengths on site at your home.
Question: How sturdy is the Englert
LeafGuard® seamless gutter?
Answer: The Englert LeafGuard®
gutter system uses .032 aluminum, approximately 20%
thicker than conventional gutters . The Englert LeafGuard®
gutter is screwed to the fascia board every 2 feet with
internal hanging brackets, unlike conventional gutters
that are attached with spikes that can come loose.
Question: Is my roof too steep for
the LeafGuard® seamless gutter system?

Answer: The Englert LeafGuard®
seamless gutter system works well no matter what the
pitch of your roof. In fact, the steeper the roof, the
better the performance.
Question: How does the Englert LeafGuard®
gutter work?
Answer: Liquid adhesion is the scientific
principle behind Englert LeafGuard's® unique design.
Molecular attraction causes water molecules to adhere
to the surface they rest on, in this case the Englert
LeafGuard® hood. Rainwater clings to the hood and
falls in the gutter trough. The narrow opening between
the hood and gutter deters debris from entering the
gutter, easily deflecting it. It's that simple!
Question: What is Englert LeafGuard®
constructed of?

Answer: Englert LeafGuard® is
a seamless, one-piece aluminum gutter. Since it is aluminum,
it will never rust or deteriorate like some galvanized
steel gutters.
Question: Does it keep pine needles
out of the gutter?
Answer: Yes, Englert LeafGuard®
works great with pine needles, leaves, and other organic
debris.
Question: You mean to say that nothing
will get in the Englert LeafGuard® gutter?
Answer: No, that's not what we're
saying. Clogged gutters are associated with rainfall
because that is when the problem becomes apparent, but
most debris gets into a conventional gutter when it's
not raining. The Englert LeafGuard® gutter deflects
this dry debris almost entirely. What little bit of
debris that gets in the Englert LeafGuard® gutter
when it rains will flush out of the downspout because
of the lack of accumulated debris in the gutter.
