Q and A: Answering the FAQs about Gutter Helmet®

Gutter installs on roof

Of all gutter guards, only Gutter Helmet® eliminates the need for cleaning for good. Thoughtfully designed, it boasts innovative features to filter out virtually all kinds of debris to prevent clogging and stay structurally sound year after year.

Why choose it for downspout and gutter protection? HutchCo Home & Bathanswers the biggest questions about this advanced product:

What Makes It Stand Out?

Unlike other gutter protection systems with vertical slots or louvers, Gutter Helmet only has a 3/8-inch wide slot. Without large openings, it prevents leaves, twigs, and pine needles to get into gutters and downspouts, reducing the chances of clogging.

Furthermore, its patented nose-forward design guarantees only water passes through it. It directs all other kinds of debris to the ground.

What Is It Made Of?

Gutter Helmet is certainly one of the strongest gutter guards you could ever find. It’s made from premium aluminum with horizontal stiffening ribs, offering the best combination of lightweight and durability. Plus, the system has reinforced aluminum alloy brackets to keep the gutter covers in place no matter what happens.

How Much Rain Can It Handle?

It can catch more than 22 inches of rain per hour without overflowing. To put things into perspective, that’s twice the amount of the heaviest rainfall ever recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau.

What Colors Does It Come In?

Installing Gutter Helmet doesn’t only make maintenance-free gutters but also stunningly ageless ones. Using the high-performance Kynar paint system, all of the system’s possible colors are guaranteed to stay vibrant for a long period. Any Gutter Helmet finish is designed not to fade and chalk. Plus, it withstands the corrosive effects of acid rain and saltwater.

Is It Available in Local Hardware Stores?

No, Gutter Helmet is only available through an exclusive nationwide network of reputable dealers, which includes HutchCo Home & Bath. This way, you can expect flawless workmanship and faultless performance.

Outstanding Reviews

I highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet in Greer S.C. They did an excellent job on my bath tub to shower project. It was 1 and a half day completion. Very professional and courteous staff .The tare out and install was expedient. They cleaned up and took away all that wad needed. Call them for a job that you need well done. I love my new shower.

Jackie Salters

We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!

Stephen Cordes

We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.

Carolyn Parker

I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
