GUTTER FILTRATION SYSTEMS:
You don’t want debris, leaves, and pine needles getting into
your gutters. The only thing you want getting into your
gutters is water. Gutter Guard Mercer Island has the best and most
reliable Filtration systems on the market. And they all come
with our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty and with a terrific
product warranty as well. Take a look at what we have to
offer:
GOOD:
THE LEAF LIEUTENANT
Our Most Economical Gutter Screen!
Each section has a continuous reinforced edge that clips on to
the front bead of the gutter. The Drop In gutter screen is
virtually undetectable from the ground.
This screen is simple, economical, and it works. No, it is not
as high-quality or effective as OUR
PREMIER GUARANTEED DEFENSE SYSTEM but it does a
terrific job in keeping leaves and large debris out of your
gutters.
BETTER:
THE NEEDLE SHIELD
NEEDLE
SHIELD combines the newest technology with a common sense
approach to gutter protection. NEEDLE SHIELD patented
stainless steel membrane prevents ALL debris from entering
your gutters. The ultra-fine membrane does not even allow the
smallest of particles through, keeping out even a grain of
sand. The unique design actually vacuums the rainwater through
the membrane. Imagine how it will keep out leaves, pine
needles and even roofing granules. Along with the rigid
aluminum base, NEEDLE SHIELD will continue to keep your
gutters clean while you relax year after year. NEEDLE SHIELD
is available with new gutters or can be installed on your
current gutters.
The NEEDLE SHIELD base is covered with a fine stainless steel
membrane that prevents any particle larger than 100 microns (a
grain of sand) from entering your gutter. A single pine needle
won't get past Gutter Grate!
The NEEDLE SHIELD membrane has a clog resistance rating of "9"
(10 is the highest) it is highly unlikely that dirt, scum or
pollutants will ever clog NEEDLE SHIELD! (Most screen,
filtration type, and reverse curve gutter products are very
susceptible to debris penetration, or to debris lodging within
the products' water receiving areas, and normally achieve no
better than a clog resistance rating of 1 to 4)
NEEDLE SHIELD aluminum body with stainless steel mesh will
never be affected by the heat or sun. The life expectancy of
the NEEDLE SHIELD membrane is over 20 years.
BEST:
OUR PREMIER GUARANTEED DEFENSE SYSTEM
Construction:
This system consists of two components, a perforated aluminum
channel and 316 stainless steel mesh. The stainless steel mesh
is glued into grooves along both sides of each 5 foot aluminum
channel section. It installs on any existing gutter. It was
designed that way! This system’s specifications were designed
so that it simply slips under the roof shingles and fits
snuggly to the front lip of your gutter.
Aluminum Channel Frame:
Our extruded aluminum support frame is anodized to further
protect itself from the environment. The anodizing process
converts the aluminum surface into an extremely hard, durable,
corrosion resistant, long-lasting aluminum oxide finish.
Anodizing also responds favorably to current governmental
regulations because it is one of the most environmentally
friendly industrial processes. Since this process is a
reinforcement of a naturally occurring oxide process, it is
non-hazardous and produces no harmful or dangerous by
products. Anodized aluminum is used around the world as highly
durable exteriors in commercial buildings such as one of the
world’s tallest buildings, the Sears Tower in Chicago,
Illinois. Other revolutionized uses are in scientific
instruments, home appliances, and satellites in space for
harsh environmental protection, staircases in skyscrapers and
a host of other uses.
Stainless Steel Mesh:
The super-strong type 316 stainless steel mesh allows more
than 150 inches of hourly rainfall to filter through to your
gutter. Type 316 is molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless
steel which is more resistant to general corrosion and
pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium
nickel austenitic stainless steels such at types 302 and 304
or any other standard stainless steel alloys. The 316 alloy
offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at
elevated temperatures. It also resists attack of marine and
corrosive industrial atmospheres which makes it an ideal
component for this product. 316 is widely used in the food,
marine and medical industries.
