Hood-style vs. leaf-free – which is better?
You may have heard about ‘hood’ gutters and wondered how a hood style system would compare to a leaf-free system. Hood systems are considered more of a temporary fix, while no-maintenance leaf-free systems are what most homeowners are looking for today.
Hood gutter guards may cost a little less, but there can be problems with installation and maintenance.
- Installed under shingles or as single unit – either secured under the first row of shingles on your roof, or as a single unit requiring the installation of all new gutters.
- May require screwing into roof shingles – which could cause water damage and could void your roof warranty.
- Installation method can cause water issues – runoff can damage landscaping or contribute to basement flooding or even foundation problems.
- Seasonal maintenance is required – gutters will fill with debris and the hood will need to be removed to clean inside the gutter, either by the homeowner or by a professional.
Leaf-free systems offer efficiency and protection with zero installation or maintenance issues.
- No damage to shingles – system attaches to fascia boards and rafter tails instead of roof shingles. Roof warranty won’t ever be affected.
- Better drainage – drains water more effectively, channels rainwater and debris down and away from your property’s foundation for maximum protection.
- No cleaning or declogging – no more climbing ladders or seasonal maintenance needed!
Do your homework… check the K-Guard difference
Go ahead, google leaf-free gutter systems and you’ll see that most competitors tout the same basic features. K-Guard offers more of everything — more drainage, more strength, more durability, more performance – plus a no-clog lifetime warranty offered through individual dealers!
The K-Guard leaf-free gutter system offers you more:
- Larger 6” size for better capacity and drainage – K-Guard 6-inch gutters are a full inch larger than traditional gutters and can hold 70 gallons per foot.
- No gutter sag – the high-strength hanger design keeps its form no matter the external conditions.
- High performance, patented design – K-Guard gutter systems replace your gutters as a whole and are engineered to work together for optimum performance and durability.
- No harm to shingles or roof warranty – unlike most gutter systems, K-Guard attaches to fascia boards and rafter tails instead of roof shingles, so if any other unrelated issues arise you can rest assured your roof warranty won’t be affected.
- Two drainage channels instead of one – regular gutters only have a single drainage channel, which sometimes can’t prevent windblown water from going up under roof shingles. K-Guard gutter systems have two drainage channels that flush away water quickly and efficiently.
- No cleaning or declogging needed – K-Guard Gutter Guards are designed and patented to never need any cleaning inside the gutter, unlike other systems that require seasonal declogging.
- Good looking, custom-fit product – while competitors’ gutter guards are designed to fit onto existing gutters, K-Guard gutter systems are engineered to attach to your home without obstructing the roof or roofline. In contrast to the sharp corners and vertical faces of other gutters on the market, they also feature a smooth, curved design in a variety of colors to complement your home.
- Lifetime no-clog warranty (offered through individual dealers) – non-corrodible, heavy-duty aluminum K-Guard gutter systems never sag and are built to withstand adverse weather conditions. Innovative, patented, high-strength hanger design offers optimum performance and durability.
