SnapLock™ Nail-Free Hangers vs. Fascia-Secured Hangers

It’s easy to think that an inch of rainfall isn’t really much. The truth is, this amount of rain pours down more than 1,600 gallons of water on an average-sized roof. That’s why it’s important to have adequate gutter protection to keep your gutters clear of any blockages. However, in addition to that, 1,600 gallons translates directly to over 10,000 pounds of weight that your gutter system continuously handles during periods of heavy rain. Without a proper support system, your gutters will gradually be weighed down by the immense weight causing bending, sagging, or worse, breaking.

Gutters are secured to your roof with gutter hangers, or simply, hangers. There are many different types of hangers that go with different kinds of gutters. Understanding them could mean the difference between an effective gutter and a complete failure. Our experts at HutchCo Home & Bath discuss a few of the most common types of hangers to help you choose the right one for your home.

SnapLock™ Nail-Free Gutters

Gutter Helmet not only gives you maintenance-free gutters, but they also provide you with one of the strongest gutter supports in the industry today. SnapLock does not require nailing which means you can preserve the appearance of your fascia in case you need to replace your system. Moreover, installation is much easier with easy-hook hangers, allowing the main trough to slide horizontally but remain secure vertically.

Fascia-Secured Hangers

Most types of hangers are nailed to the fascia board, which is the easiest way to install a gutter. However, the vertical attachment is prone to downward forces such as gravity and the weight of water, making them extremely prone to wearing out after a heavy downpour.

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!

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.

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.
