The gutter guard system

Precision-formed aluminum frame. Stainless steel micro-mesh.

A gutter protection system built out of metal, not plastic. Fine debris stays on the surface, water goes through, and nothing about it goes brittle in an Ontario winter.

The product

Precision-formed aluminum frame + stainless steel micro-mesh

A high-performance gutter protection system engineered from premium metal materials. The rigid aluminum frame provides structural strength and long-term corrosion resistance, while the precision stainless steel micro-mesh provides fine debris filtration without compromising water flow.

The material

Metal, because plastic does not survive here.

Most of the eavestrough guards on the market are plastic lattice, fibreglass screen or thin perforated sheet. They are cheap to make, cheap to fit and they are the reason gutter guards have the reputation they have. This is built out of two metals and nothing else.

Stainless steel micro-mesh

It will not rust, go brittle in the sun, or tear. Birds cannot pull it apart, and nothing takes root in an aperture this fine.

Extruded aluminum frame

The frame is what holds the mesh flat and in line across a long run. Rigid, corrosion resistant, and it does not sag between fixings.

Filtration without a trade-off

Fine debris is filtered on the surface without compromising water flow. Nothing is given up to the filter, which is the failure mode of a solid cover.

An Ontario winter

Stainless steel does not go brittle in the cold. Keeping the run clear and correctly pitched is also the best thing that can be done about ice building at the eave.

What micro-mesh does not do

Debris sits on top of the mesh, dries out and blows off. That is how the material is meant to work, and it is why the run underneath stops needing to be opened up twice a year. It is not a claim that nothing will ever land on it.

No gutter protection system can guarantee that every leaf, seed, fine particle, or piece of ice and snow is excluded. Under heavy tree cover, occasional clearing of the exterior surface of the mesh may still be worth doing. If your roof drops something unusual, we tell you at the inspection rather than after it.

What is on the market

Every style sold in Ontario. None of them hold.

Mesh, lattice, perforated metal, solid covers, clip-ons. Every one of these was fitted by somebody who was told it would be the last time they thought about their gutters.

Different names. Different shapes. Same result.

What actually works

Stainless steel micro-mesh, on a gutter that was fixed first.

Nothing sprouts under it, nothing goes brittle, and it never comes off again to be cleaned.

The part nobody photographs

A guard is only as good as the gutter under it.

The mesh is the fifth thing we do. Before it goes anywhere near your roofline the run is emptied by hand and flushed through, every corner, end cap, seam and downspout collar is resealed, sagging sections are brought back to a quarter inch of fall per ten feet, and new heavy duty hangers go in wherever the old ones pulled loose.

Fit the same panel to a gutter that is blocked, leaking and out of line and it will fail with the gutter. That is not a fault in the material. It is the order of operations, and it is the one thing almost nobody else does.

The five-step process Why we work this way

What it comes with

Lifetime, and transferable.

The stainless mesh and the workmanship are warranted for the functional life of the installed product at your address. If debris gets through or under the mesh and blocks the gutter, we come back, clear it and put the mesh right at no charge. Sell the house and the warranty goes with it.
