Frequently Asked Questions

A pitch-adjustment flap ensures conformity to the angle of any roof style. A series of ridges provide friction to help reduce the flow of water as it travels over the Shield’s surface. As the slowed water continues its path toward the tip of the Shield, it primarily flows into the gutter well and down the downspout.

Additionally, debris-filled gutters can pull your gutters away from your roof, creating interior leaks, mold, and other costly damages. And overflowing water can cause slippage, especially during the colder months when it turns to ice.

That depends upon many things:

• the square footage of your building’s gutter system
• the number of stories of your building
• any special equipment needs to access gutters
• the condition and style of your roof and fascia
