New Size Gutter Guard for WOOD Gutters

Wood gutters are a beautiful and traditional choice for many homes, especially those with historic or classic architectural styles. These gutters add a unique charm and character to homes, but they come with a set of challenges that modern homeowners must address. Wood gutters are shallower than contemporary metal or vinyl alternatives, meaning they don't carry as much water and are more prone to clogging. Furthermore, the downspout outlets in wood gutters tend to be smaller, making them susceptible to blockages from leaves, twigs, and debris.

To effectively protect wood gutters from clogging, a reliable gutter guard system is essential. Enter GutterBrush, a simple yet highly effective solution designed to keep your wood gutters  or any gutters clear without the hassle of expensive professional installations or complex systems. For years, GutterBrush has been a trusted name in the gutter guard industry, offering an easy-to-install DIY gutter clogging solution;  it ensures your gutters remain clog-free.   Visit this page to see the Gutterbrush most common sizes.

In the past, GutterBrush's smallest size had a diameter of 3.25 inches, which worked well for larger wood gutters. However, as more homeowners with smaller wood gutters sought a solution, we listened. Now, we are excited to introduce a brand-new GutterBrush size with a diameter of 2.375 inches, specifically designed for smaller wood gutters.

GutterBrush is an excellent gutter guard for wood gutters, now this new smaller size provides better protection for shallow wood gutters, and GutterBrush can save you money on installation and maintenance. This new size is also perfect for a wide variety of gutters beyond wood gutters, such as historic gutters, ornamental gutters, and unique custom gutters.

Why Wood Gutters Need a Wood Gutter Guard

Wood gutters, while beautiful and sturdy when well-maintained, come with a few unique characteristics that make them more prone to clogging than other types of gutters. For starters, wood gutters are often shallower than metal or common k style gutters. They typically don't carry as much water because of their design, and this can be a problem during heavy rainstorms. A sudden downpour can overwhelm shallow wood gutters, especially if they're partially clogged with leaves, pine needles, or other debris.

The downspout outlets in wood gutters are also usually smaller in diameter compared to modern downspout outlets. While this maintains the aesthetic integrity of the home, it also means that debris buildup can easily block the flow of water, leading to overflowing gutters and potential water damage to your roof, siding, or foundation.

Because of these challenges, it’s crucial to use a gutter guard that fits properly and fully protects the gutter from clogging. This is where GutterBrush's new 2.375-inch diameter comes into play.

The New 2.375-Inch GutterBrush: Perfect for Small Wood Gutters

This size is ideal for smaller wood gutters, which are commonly found in older or historic homes. The smaller diameter allows the GutterBrush to sit perfectly within the shallow gutter, ensuring that debris is kept from clogging while water flows freely through the gutter and down the downspouts.

Before the release of this new size, homeowners with smaller wood gutters had to rely on our 3.25-inch brush. While this worked for larger wood gutters, it wasn't always the best fit for narrower or shallower gutter channels.
