Gutter Helmet
Adhesion Helmet Type
Gutter Helmet® is a proprietary product, by a franchised company that produces an adhesion or helmet style guard. They attempt to address some of the biggest issues with other adhesion or helmet type guards like Leaf Guard™ Gutter by the addition of a longer and textured hood design. While the water flow function is much better than their smooth-topped competitors, the same issue with wet debris adhering and flowing into the trough remain. The Gutter Guy sells a similar product called LeaFree on installations where we need to maintain a similar product line, as in the case of a home addition when the rest of the house has Adhesion guards.
