Leaf and Pestproofing

Gutter Protection Systems patented 3-D steel gutter guards are the quality choiceA cluttered gutter is an invitation for a pest fest...
Australia has a real bird pest problem. You hear of starlings and sparrows nesting in roofs. Pigeon and seagull droppings block up gutters and downpipes. Cockatoos love to chew on red cedar and other softwoods. We also have other pests like snakes and possums getting into roof cavities.

An efficient gutter shield can keep pests out of your roof and leaves out of your gutters. Gutter Protection Systems patented 3D gutter guards are unique. The COLORBOND® steel mesh is custom contoured to fit the profile of your roofing material snugly - sealing out pests, helping leaves and twigs to slide off the edge of the roof, and rainwater is captured to flow cleanly into the gutters (and then into your water tanks). It's a single solution for all your gutter protection problems.

We can install Gutter Protection Systems COLORBOND® steel mesh gutter guards in just hours.

Rainwater Harvesting

Install our Gutter Protection Systems gutter guards and you'll never need to clean your gutters again. That means they will remain debris-free, and then you can harvest the maximum amount of rainwater for your recycling tanks for reuse.

Here's how it works.
Gutter Protection Systems uses a steel mesh with a raised profile that is designed to help leaves and twigs to slide over its surface. But when rainwater flows down the roof and hits that same raised profile, it's forced into the gutters and then onto your water tanks. There are no leaves in the gutters to soak up the water or to contaminate it with bits of debris. That makes the rainwater easier to harvest.

Caution:

Hail storms can cause more damage if your gutters don't have gutter shields. Ice and debris usually block gutters and downpipes. This can cause water to back-flow under the eaves and inside the roof. Any water harvested would be discoloured and polluted by debris. Plus, you'd need to work on a wet roof to clear blocked gutters after the storm. With Gutter Protection Systems steel gutter guards in place, you can be confident that this won't happen to you.

 

 


Fire Proofing

The accumulation of trapped leaves and twigs in gutters is a high fire risk in our dry Aussie conditions. All that trapped debris is an invitation for flying embers. Don't let this happen to your home. Clean out those gutters one last time, and have high quality Gutter Protection Systems steel mesh gutter guards installed. The raised profile in the mesh lets leaves and twigs slide over the gutters, keeping them clear and less of a fire risk. The steel is 100% non-flammable. It won't melt in a crisis. It won't break.
