Gutter Guards and gutter protection devices have evolved over the years. Features provide some benefits but often are a trade off for some other collateral issue. Those attempting to eliminate all gutter maintenance and cleaning are most often dissapointed with the results.
Metal items and metal gutter guards are conductive of thermal energy and therefore they are the first to freeze and they actually cause gutter ice problems.
Common gutter clog protection devices all have collateral issues that can cause gutter clog problems and rain water to pour over the side of the gutter or miss the gutter entirely.
