If so, gutter covers may be the answer you’re looking for. They are a type of gutter guard that helps keep debris from entering and clogging your gutters. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what they are and how they work, and some of the benefits of having them installed on your home. Read on to learn more!
What are Gutter Covers?
It is simply a type of gutter guard that helps prevent leaves, twigs, and other debris from entering and clogging your gutters. They work by creating a barrier between the opening of your gutter and the debris that would otherwise fall into it. Many types of gutter covers also have special features that help promote water flow and prevent ice dams from forming in cold weather.
How Do Gutter Covers Work?
The cover works by creating a barrier between the opening at the top of your gutter and the debris that would otherwise fall into it. This barrier can be made of various materials, such as plastic, metal, or mesh. Most types also have special features that help promote water flow and prevent ice dams from forming in cold weather.
Some types of covers install underneath the first row of shingles on your roof, while others attach directly to the lip of your gutters. There are also some varieties that can be retrofitted onto existing gutters. No matter what type you choose, they help keep your gutters clean and free-flowing year-round.
Do You Need It?
If you have trees near your house, chances are you need gutter covers. Even if you don’t have trees, if you live in an area where leaves fall from the sky (I’m looking at you Saskatchewan), then gutter covers might be a good idea. If you live in an area with heavy winds, gutter covers can also help prevent your gutters from being blown off your roof (trust me, I’ve seen it happen).
