Video: Understanding How Gutter Helmet® Works

For the past 35 years, Gutter Helmet® has established itself as America’s undisputed leader in gutter protection. Patented to the smallest detail, this gutter guard is synonymous with innovation, outperforming other products (new and old) with its sophisticated design.

Why is it the secret to enjoying virtually maintenance-free gutters? HutchCo Home & Bath explains how it works:

Capitalizing on Surface Tension

Gutter Helmet puts physics to work to drive a large amount of rainwater into the gutters. It optimizes the concept of surface tension, which causes the water to dribble when poured out of the glass. This scientific principle tells you that the water adheres to the surface of the object, and clings even on the underside.

But surface tension is just the start. Gutter Helmet applies it to a carefully engineered design using a precise shape and angle. Plus, it utilizes a patented surface coating to help make the water form sheets rather than bead up.

Rainwater and snowmelt flow right around its nose, and then into the gutters and downspouts. As one of the most popular gutter guards, it has been tested to handle twice the heaviest downpour ever documented in the United States.

Filtering out Virtually all Kinds of Debris

Gutter Helmet’s patented “nose forward” design allows it to extend beyond the lip of your gutter. As a result, the debris falls directly (and safely) to the ground while the water flows into the gutter. It has no vertical openings, completely shielding the gutters and downspouts from twigs, leaves and pine needles.

Lending Itself to Different Installation Methods

This type of gutter protection is installable either over or under the shingles. For best results, it’s wise to leave the job to professionals to avoid workmanship errors and protect the structural integrity of your roof. Choose a qualified contractor to help you maximize its stellar warranty.

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.
