The Benefits of Installing Gutter Guard for Adelaide Home Owners

Adelaide residents have discovered that a Gutter Guard system is a magical solution that will help keep gutters clean year round and it will ensure that you don’t have to get up onto your roof nearly so often.

Clean Gutters Are Essential!

Gutters seem to be a magnet for all the debris you can imagine. You’ve probably done a gutter clean or two and discovered some extremely odd bits of debris that have made you wonder. A strong wind, a nasty storm or even just the season can deposit considerable quantities of rubbish into your gutters, which means that you will have a serious case of clogged gutters and that’s never a good thing.

Now, if you’re not all that handy around the house and cleaning gutters is the last thing on your mind, you’ve got problems. Water will start to accumulate and this can lead to rusting, warping and, if you’re really unlucky, the “mountain” of debris will overflow and cause damage to timber work. Essentially, you’re either going to end up paying for some serious gutter repairs or you’ll be looking at complete gutter replacement and costly fasciaboard repairs.

You have to agree that installing a gutter guard in your Adelaide home and keeping those gutters clean is a lot cheaper then replacing the whole system. While gutter guard keep most of the debris out, they will still need the odd rinse of dust residue so cleaning your gutters only require a quick hose out every few years.

What Type of Gutter Guard for Adelaide Homes?

The value of a gutter guard, Adelaide homeowners agree, is undeniable. Now the question is what type of gutter protection do you need?

There are two general groups of gutter guard used in Adelaide; cheap and ineffective over time and purpose designed that provides various levels of performance and longevity.

The cheap range can be purchased at your local hardware store and quite frankly are sometimes worse than having no gutter guard whatsoever.

There are various “effective” gutter guards that are normally made from either metal or plastic. The plastic types are often promoted as fireproof yet have limited fire resistance and some actually ignite very easily. They last for several years but eventually become brittle and begin to crack and fall apart.

The best type of gutter guard for Adelaide conditions meet the highest standard of fire resistance (AS 1530 Part 3) and are made from colorbond® steel – the exact same product as your gutters and are durable and longlasting. Colorbond gutter guard is UV resistant, prevents vermin from chewing through it and will not break or tear.

The type of gutter protection you need depends on a variety of factors, including the area where you live, the type of gutters you have and more.
