Gutter Guard for Various Gutter Attachment Types:

Need a Gutter Guard for Hung Gutters ? 

Gutterbrush works and installs EASY!  No trimming!

The method by which gutters are attached, affects whether or not common gutter protection devices, screens or covers can be adapted.  For example, gutters that are hung from rods or straps have benefits, but they are extremely challenging to fit with a gutter screen because these gutter hangers are "in the way" requiring  time consuming custom fitting and cutting around every rod or strap hanger. 

Custom fitting a gutter guard around each gutter hanger is a huge labor cost during the original installation, but really hurts later every time maintenance is required because removal and reattachment for maintenance, gutter problem solving and cleaning, can be far more time consuming than the original installation; with fasteners leaving holes in the gutter, fascia or roof.   GutterBrush works extremely well in these situations requiring no trimming, tools or fasteners; just slide GutterBrush under the hangers one after the other filling the entire gutter: fast and easy.

Gutter Guard for Vampire Hangers

Vampire hangers are like strap hangers but they are made of threaded rods and nuts also called rod and nut hangers or rod-n-nut hangers.  The term vampire hangers comes from the fact that when installed they hang the gutter downward and may resemble the vampire's teeth.  The strap hangers or rod and nut hangers, put the weight of the gutter onto the first roof board rather than hanging the gutter from the fascia board.

Below is a close up of a typical k-style gutter hanger also known as hidden hangers or crossbar hangers.  Notice the hole at the center to adapt to hung gutters ( gutters hung from the roof).  This hanger is commonly also used for gutters that are fastened directly to the fascia by attaching through the back with screws.

 Why hang a gutter?

Gutters are hung from the roof typically for two reasons.  Most commonly, the building has a crown molding or some ornate molding and does not have a solid stable full fascia to which to attach the gutter.  If you attach the gutter to a crown molding, the weight of the gutter may rip the molding off the building, therefore, when the fascia is not adequate for gutter attachment, the gutter is hung from the roof for strength.   Additionally, gutters hung from the roof will never leak!  Since the gutter is not attached to the fascia, it is hanging entirely outside the building so even if it back up and pours over the back side, it will never leak into the building. A gutter hung from the roof is a very smart way to install gutters; it is like house jewelry.

This page is under construction; future elaborations to include installing rod-and-nut gutter hangers properly recessed into the roof drip edge so that they do not cause a lump  or an unsightly bulge in the roof shingle starter course.
