While performing construction in New England during the 1970s, we learned to appreciate the function and the design of the standard 5 " K-style seamless gutter. Back then, a very high percentage of homes and buildings had been outfitted with wood gutters, which did not even have full fascia leak protection. Gutter renovation and perimeter leak repairs included either installing a continuous flat locked and soldered 16 ounce custom copper gutter lining, or rebuilding the soffit with carpentry to modify the rafter ends to install a full fascia board which would receive a new .032 aluminum k-style seamless 5” gutter. Working with, and observing the poor rain flow performance of the fairly shallow wood gutters, gave us a great appreciation for the functionality and storm drainage water carrying capacity of the 5” K style gutter. It is a super gutter that is reasonably priced, aesthetically pleasing, durable, strong, and the workhorse of the gutter industry; so it is no surprise that since then, the 5” K style gutter and the 6“ oversize K style gutters (also known as K-gutters or Ogee gutters) have grown to such gutter market dominance and massive popularity. Due to such popularity and high gutter installation volume, there is no shortage of readily available gutter accessories, leaf guards for gutters and products designed for the k style gutter. Manufacturers and contractors line up to invest, research, and develop, with the hopes of being able to offer the latest greatest accessory gutter guard products and services with the newest technological “bells and whistles''. But what is a person to do if they have a building or a residence with a uniquely shaped unpopular gutter or a custom gutter?
Leaf guards for gutters of common shapes and styles are prevalent in the rain storm drainage market place but many building owners have gutters, which common leaf guards for gutters do not fit and will not work to stop gutter clogging.
Where do people turn, to stop their uncommonly shaped gutter clogging. These less common and more rare gutters of many different shapes and gutter sizes exist in far lower volume and therefore do not attract new cookie cutter inventions and problem solving accessory gutter solutions. One size does not fit all with leaf guards for gutters on custom gutters and uniquely shaped gutters, while the tree lines are growing closer and closer to residential gutters and metal building gutters every day. Yes, the gutter leaves are growing closer by the day, so what is a building owner to do, when typical gutter leaf screens, gutter guard mesh, gutter covers and gutter helmets will not fit ? Owners of these gutters are treated like they are on the island of misfit toys in the movie Rudolph The Red Nose Rain Deer. Nobody wants a train with square wheels or a bird that swims and these multiple categories of gutters like car port gutters, metal building gutters and awning gutters are being treated by the gutter accessory community as if they are on the "island of misfit gutters".
These odd shaped misfit unusual gutter owners turn to Gutterbrush brush gutter guard for a simple, logical, affordable, easy, no tools solution to gutter clogging in unusual odd shaped gutters and custom gutters. GutterBrush's flexible brush gutter guard design fits these misfit gutters, is easy to simply slide in to place with no fasteners required, and it stops those other wise left-out gutters from clogging.
Gutters made for many prefabricated structures are designed and shaped uniquely, such that typical leaf guard gutter protection solutions do not fit and will not work. Manufacturers of prefabricated structures have their own gutter agenda. For example, metal building manufacturers, also known as pre-engineered buildings or PEB buildings and steel buildings, want to furnish prefabricated metal building gutters that carry the rain water, are easy to install, make the building look good and are incredibly strong to handle winter snow and ice sliding from a large smooth metal roof. The uniquely shaped metal building gutters typically have a front gutter edge that extends upward much higher than the back gutter edge; and even extends upward higher than the metal roof's drip edge. The unusually high front prefabricated gutter edge is designed that way, to enable the gutter to be directly strapped to the upper portion of the metal roof ribs making an extremely strong gutter configuration. Additionally, the higher front gutter edge serves to provide a nice straight-line appearance intentionally concealing defects or lack of straightness that otherwise would likely be obvious when one is viewing the roof drip edge and the roof panels from certain vantage points. This prefabricated metal building gutter ( PEB gutter) design provides enormous strength while improving the aesthetic appearance of the building because it hides straightness imperfections, but please note that they intentionally designed and created a gutter that breaks the logical rules of storm water drainage, building protection and guttering. That high front gutter edge serves dual purposes, but also makes it impossible to install gutter screens or a gutter cover that will solve gutter clogging. Even if it could work to avoid gutter clogs, the installation of gutter screens or a gutter cover would require cutting, trimming and excessive roof and gutter surface fastening around every gutter strap or gutter hanger, which is illogical and cost prohibitive due to the amount of time it would take. There is just no practical way to fit this style of gutter with traditional gutter screens or gutter cover. Additionally, the gutter shape profile and the angles of the gutter are different with each building application depending on the slope of the metal building roof, further decreasing any chance of reasonable gutter installation volume for advancement of a new cookie cutter leaf guard invention accessory. GutterBrush is not just a gutter guard for metal building gutters, other structures with this horrible gutter design, similar gutter shape and unique leaf guard requirement include carport gutters, awning gutters, Lanais gutters,Patio room gutters and steel building gutters.
One other category of odd shaped gutters that have been left out as misfit gutters, is the category of super gutters on swimming pool screen rooms. These super gutters are named as "super" because they are incredibly strong in order to support the structure of the swimming pool bug screen frame or "screen cage". These gutters have also been left out as misfits. The flexible brush guard design of Gutterbrush and the fact that it comes in 5 diameters makes it a super gutter guard or a gutter guard for super gutters.
