Gutter Guards for Copper Gutters

Copper gutters are like building jewelry.  Be careful because the wrong person or the wrong process or the wrong materials can actually damage your copper gutters which means decreasing the gutter lifespan as well as making holes when fastening is performed.  I like low impact solutions when it comes to recommending copper gutter clog protection.  Low impact means do not spend too much money and do not fasten anything to your copper gutters.   We want the benefits of a gutter guard but we must have the clog protection process that does no harm. Oh, and it must be easily maintainable because its a shame when things are difficult to maintain and everyone who works outside knows that all things out ion the debris field need maintenance to keep flowing.  There is no such thing as a "free lunch" and there is no such thing as a gutter guard in the debris field that doesn't need maintenance to keep flowing.

Unlike many traditional gutter guards that require fasteners, modifications, or professional installation, GutterBrush is as easy as placing the three-foot brush sections into your gutters. No tools, brackets, or drilling are necessary. If you can clean a gutter from a ladder, you can install GutterBrush in just minutes.

Here’s how easy it is to install GutterBrush

  1. Clean out any existing debris from your copper gutters.
  2. Insert the three-foot GutterBrush sections one after the other to fill the entire gutter.
  3. Fold or cut the last piece to ensure complete coverage, fill the whole gutter.

That’s it! Once installed, GutterBrush keeps water flowing and prevents clogging. Because it sits inside the gutter instead of attaching to the roof, there is no risk of roof damage, making it a safer and smarter alternative to traditional gutter covers.

Gutter Guards for Copper Gutters - Not Dissimilar Metals

No Galvanic Corrosion with GutterBrush Plastic Bristles

One of the biggest concerns when choosing gutter guards for copper gutters is galvanic corrosion, which occurs when dissimilar metals come into contact with each other. Many traditional gutter covers are made from aluminum, which can cause serious damage when placed on a copper gutter system. Over time, the chemical reaction between the two metals will corrode the copper, leading to copper gutter damage,  leaks, deterioration, and expensive repairs.

GutterBrush eliminates this risk because it is made with UV-resistant polypropylene bristles and a galvanized steel core, which do not cause any chemical reaction with copper. Only the plastic bristles touch the copper. This means:

  • No corrosion—GutterBrush is fully compatible with all types of copper gutters.
  • No structural damage—Unlike metal guards that attach to the gutter or roof, GutterBrush simply sits inside the gutter without any harmful effects.
  • No long-term degradation—Your copper gutters will remain in top condition, free from the risks associated with aluminum guards.

If you own a home or building with copper gutters, you need a gutter guard that is safe for copper. GutterBrush is the ideal solution because it protects your gutters without interfering with the natural aging and patina process of copper.

Unlike other gutter guards that attach to the roof and can cause damage, GutterBrush does not interfere with the roof line. Many metal screens and covers require lifting roof shingles or drilling into the fascia, which can lead to holes, roof damage, roof leaks and costly repairs. GutterBrush simply sits inside the gutter, ensuring zero impact on your roof while keeping gutters free-flowing.
