GutterDome Gutter Guard – Protection Review

We have found that GutterDome is one of the most cost effective systems, with pricing among the lowest among the micro-mesh category.

Our exhaustive testing has proven that the Gutter Dome system, with its larger hole size (1,600 holes per square inch) greatly reduces the possibility of clogging. Pollen is allowed to penetrate through the mesh while keeping out roof grit, leaves and catkins. Gutter Dome’s “Next Generation” engineering has developed a system which is stronger, offers better water throughput and minimizes any clogging.

Gutter Dome is a breakaway company which has re-engineered a system that was developed over ten years ago and that has had significant success (Gutterglove – until now our top rated recommendation). It can be said that they have over 12 years of experience in gutter protection design, improving a system’s flaws and creating a “better mouse trap”. From or investigation they gather suggestions from experienced dealers and homeowners and modify the product to be as best as it could be- While the methodology of other product manufacturers seems to be ” we go this product, good or not let’s sell as much as we can”. GutterDome being a new break-through technology is developing a very strong and positive reputation.

This is an area where Gutter Dome has excelled. The two, three and five pound weights dropped from equal heights on all samples tested, caused only a minor dent in the five pound weight test with Gutter Dome. All other systems generally incurred severe damage (with many of similar products seemed to have a problem with the mesh falling off following the drop test). Gutter Dome uses a high strength 6063 grade of aluminum and .010” diameter surgical grade stainless steel in a 1,600 hole per square inch engineered mesh and it seemed to do the trick for it’s incredible strength.

Gutter Dome engineered a system utilizing a different hole configuration to create a siphoning effect through their mesh. The contour of the extruded aluminum frame (the Dome) acts as a gentle but effective slowing mechanism allowing most of a heavy rain downpour to be captured in the first of four large channels. An innovatively machined pattern of hole openings in the extruded aluminum support panel allows all the rainwater to penetrate into the gutter without splashing or deflecting. Gutter Dome handles nearly 10 inches of metered rain per hour. We observed this with the UV died water and at 900 frames per second with our high speed camera.

Gutter Dome has proven to be the strongest gutter protection system in the market place today (and this is setting the mark rather high). The screen mesh consisting of surgical grade stainless steel and the extruded/anodized aluminum substrate have gone through exhaustive corrosive test (with nasty things such as sulfuric acid ) with no negative effects. We can most likely say that it will outlast your home.
