Being in the business of selling metal products, including rain gutters (called eaves troughs in Canada) for the last 22 years, we have seen other, and done our own, testing on just about every product made to keep leaves, etc., out of rain gutters.
Concord Sheet Metal has tested punched metal gutter guards, louvered metal gutter guards, plastic ‘brush’ gutter guards, and foam gutter guards.
The product that we have found to be most effective, with the fewest drawbacks and the most economical, is Raindrop Gutter Guard System and it is Made in The USA, in Elgin, Illinois.
One of the great things we have found about Raindrop Gutter Guard is that it fits so many different types of gutter, such as:
Concord Sheet Metal’s own Eclipse Millennium® copper gutter
5 inch and 6 inch half round copper gutter and bonderized* gutter
(*galvanized metal with a phosphorus coating which makes the gutter immediately paintable)
five and six inch OG, or K style, copper gutter and pre-painted metal gutter
any heavy gauge box gutter, up to 6 ½ inches
any custom style gutter, up to 6 ½ inches
