Over the past few years there have been dozens of gutter cover products introduced into the market. All of these products make similar claims regarding performance. Here are some facts to help you sort through some of these claims:
-
Any and all perforated products will clog.
-
Any and all filter products will clog.
-
Any solid cover product with a continuous opening in the front will allow enough debris into the gutter to clog the system.
-
Any solid cover product with a continuous opening can allow birds to enter and nest in the gutter thus clogging the system.
