Why LeavesOut brand?
A quick trip to any home improvement store or online search will reveal a wide array of gutter products, all claiming they will solve your gutter problems. When we began exploring the idea of installing a gutter guard system, we looked at many of these same products and decided that LeavesOut was the very best product available so it would be the only gutter cover we would offer and install. Here are some of reasons why we feel so strongly about the LeavesOut product:
- Lifetime Warranty: LeavesOut gutter covers carry a transferable limited lifetime warranty. The Alcoa 2-coat lo-mar finish is applied to both sides of the product to reduce the possibility of corrosion and extend the life of the product. Many competitors’ products are painted only on one side.
- Aluminum Construction: The Alcoa aluminum used to manufacture LeavesOut helps water adhere to the surface while letting debris and leaves slide off. Aluminum does not expand and contract even in extreme weather conditions such as hot rooftops and winter ice storms. Additionally aluminum is readily available in a wide range of colors.
- Gutter Integration: Some gutter products require the existing gutters to be replaced with an entirely new integrated gutter system with cover. Many people don’t need gutters replaced, just covered to keep debris out. LeavesOut gutter covers can be installed on existing gutters, new gutters or gutters than have simply been repaired, depending on the individual needs of the customer.
- Gutter Profile: LeavesOut gutter covers have a lower profile than other similar products. The system blends into the existing roof line and often enhances the visual appeal of a home. Based on appearance alone, customers will frequently choose LeavesOut over the competition.
- Gutter Attachment: Most gutter covers are attached to the gutter using either aluminum or plastic fasteners. LeavesOut gutter covers use stainless steel which, of course, is stronger and more durable, and therefore can be spaced further apart. This means there is less opportunity for debris to catch on the fasteners resulting in virtually no maintenance.
- Roofing Damage: LeavesOut gutter covers are secured to the gutter lip with the material slipped between the 2 bottom layers of shingle. They are not glued, nailed, or screwed to the roofing. When it comes time to re-shingle the roof, LeavesOut gutter covers can be easily removed and reinstalled.
- Ladder Line: The position of LeavesOut gutter covers allow a ladder to be leaned against the gutter and not touch or damage the cover. Several other products on the market can get dented or pushed out of position by ladders being leaned against them.
- Versatility: The design and installation method of LeavesOut gutter covers is quite flexible so they can be installed on a variety different roof configurations. With this flexibility LeavesOut can be installed on both 5” and 6” standard aluminum gutters. They are successfully installed on standard shingled roofs, cedar shake roofs, metal roofs and even slate roofs. LeavesOut installs on virtually flat roofs to nearly vertical (23/12 pitch) roofs.
- Made in the USA: LeavesOut gutter covers have been made in Hendersonville,NC by Ken Rutter and his family since 1989.
- Installed by Certified Technicians: Every LeavesOut installation is performed by trained and certified technicians. Correct installation results in a longer lasting better performing product than other gutter products on the market.
What Are Rainchains?
Rains chains as an alternate to traditional downspouts
Rain chains are a beautiful and functional alternative to traditional, closed gutter downspouts. Guiding rain water visibly down chains or cups from the roof to the ground, rain chains transform a plain gutter downspout into a pleasing water feature. From the soft tinkling of individual droplets to the soothing rush of white water, they are a treat to listen to.
Rain chains come in many different designs and materials. They are generally either link style, resembling a chain of loops to guide the water down, or s series of cups with links between to lead the water down. These designs can be done in steel, aluminum or copper.
