Diamond Aluminum Gutter Mesh is the preferred choice for blocking leaves and debris from collecting in gutters. If your property is in a bushfire zone this premium grade aluminum is best. The flammability index is zero. Designed with a polyester powder coating it is the best choice for withstanding Australian winters as well. According to Leaf Shield, not every company that offers gutter shields knows the correct way to measure, fit and install them.

The “ski hill” technique used by Leaf Shield installers enables the aluminum mesh shield to work better than “in gutter” systems. With this technique, the mesh attaches to the gutter and then slips under the second roof tile creating a ski hill effect.Leaves and debris will now slide down the roof and over the mesh successfully preventing clogging. This kind of installation creates a maintenance free shield. Leaf Shield is able to install the mesh to most roof types. Due to the angle of the mesh, it is sometimes visible. The remedy for that is color matching the mesh to the color of the roof.
