LeafGuard gutter protection

LeafGuard formerly called Ultrashield was formed in 2006 when a group of industry professionals combined their experience from manufacturing, installation and sales of gutter protection to create a fourth generation system that would give the end user a maintenance free solution to gutter performance.

The primary function of gutters is to carry water away from the building foundations and they are designed purely for this purpose. The primary function of gutter protection is to maximize the performance of guttering systems. The first generation protection systems (gutter guards) were in gutter style and required as much maintenance as open gutters but would (if maintained) stop flooding from gutters into eaves and around building foundations.
