Yes, there are three (main) types of gutter guards.
- Mesh gutter guards are most common and are made of plastic or metal (our preferred model is made of long lasting aluminium).
- Brush guards are clever contraptions with upright bristles that collect debris sliding off of the roof without actually enclosing the eavestrough.
- Microfiltration guards use fine mesh or screens to block even the tiniest particles like shingle granules. While pretty damn effective, they themselves may need a bit of cleaning every now and again.
All this said, the simple truth is that we aim to make your life EZ and don’t believe that the extra costs warrant anything beyond the good trusty Aluminium Mesh Guard.
