Understanding Micro-Mesh Gutter Guard Technology

then we're going to get busy installing thanks josh for having me out here um it's a pleasure that you're able to you know you're willing to trust us with your gutter and gutter guard needs so i just want to talk a little bit about the product and what it actually does and how it works so it's a gutter guard right obviously um so the design it's a raised screen pattern so what that's designed to do is actually designed to break the surface tension of the water so when the water comes off of your roof whether you have a metal roof shingled roof terracotta roof doesn't matter what happens is that water dives into the screen and actually hits these diamonds and when that happens it breaks the surface tension of the water water goes in and actually gets sucked inside your gutter that's why it can handle so much water so we have actually a a display at the home show you know we take a long you know take around to our big home shows and it's actually we call it big bertha the first home our first display we ever built and actually has a bilge pump on it that pumps out 4 500 gallons an hour and this thing will suck in every bit of it on just a little four foot piece so it can definitely handle the water and as far as the screens designed it's a stainless steel mesh so it's not going to rust it's not going to corrode it's not going to warp it's not going to deteriorate so there's no plastics there's no vinyls there's no glues or anything like that that's incorporated into the gutter guard itself okay especially when you get down south and your roof gets 200 degrees we don't want things you know we don't want a warping we don't want it cracking we don't want it deteriorating so as far as the mesh goes it's actually it's called a 20 20 mesh so there's 20 holes for every so 20 by 20 so it's 400 holes per every square inch so we open it up just a little bit because what happens with micro mesh is if you have too fine of a hole what will happen is that pollen will actually cake up on top of it then you have oils and things like that and they'll clog so we open it up just a little bit that way the pollen can actually go through and wash out your downspout but keep everything else out like asphalt debris and things like that the difference between our product and majority of other products out there on the market there are several main key points that you need to focus on one is the raised screen technology okay so what that's designed to do is designed to elevate the…
