Which Gutter Covers Are The Best?

Today’s question comes from Jonathan in Pasadena, MD. Jon wants to know “which gutter covers are the best?” To answer this question, we’d like to make an introduction…

Introducing Valor Gutter Guards at Bay Area Gutter Covers

At Bay Area Gutter Covers, we are free to offer any gutter protection system on the market today, so why have we chosen Valor Gutter Covers? Let’s start with the basics.

The Valor Gutter Guard material consists of high-grade surgical stainless steel micro-mesh screen, securely machine-pressed into a strong, vertically louvered galvanized steel frame. This guard design can be installed on new or existing gutters.

Of course, the primary concern of any gutter guard is protection. Will the product actually keep out all the debris? The reality is that most systems on the market today will only keep some percentage of the debris out, like big mature leaves, allowing the smaller remaining debris to still enter and clog the gutter. In our experience, this is the most common reason that gutter guards fail. Valor Gutter Guard has a patented micro-mesh screen that keeps all debris out. Valor is so confident that nothing but rainwater will get into your gutter system that they furnish a lifetime, transferable, no-clog guarantee.

Which Gutter Covers Are the Best for Water Absorption?

Another major concern with any gutter guard is water absorption. Will the product actually allow enough water through? This is the second most common cause of product failure. Some systems that perform moderately well at keeping debris out do so at the expense of not capturing all the rainwater, causing gutters to overflow in moderate to heavy rain. This is where Valor really shines. Valor has a wide-open frame design, optimally woven micro-mesh screen, which is embossed with a raised S-curve pattern. Combined, these unique features allow it to handle 44 inches of rain per hour. So, not only does Valor offer the ultimate protection by preventing even the finest debris from getting into your gutter, but it does this while consistently ranking as the industry’s top water absorber.

When it comes to competition, there is simply no product on the market today that can match Valor’s ability to protect your gutters while allowing maximum water flow. A bonus feature of Valor’s patented raised S-turn mesh technology is that it provides for a self-shedding effect, allowing air to get under the debris and not only dry it faster but also blow it off in a light wind because it is dry.

Valor is also superior to other micro-mesh products when it comes to durability and longevity. In addition to the no-clog guarantee, Valor Gutter Guards also carry a transferable lifetime material warranty. Valor is made of sturdy, painted, galvanized steel. It will not crack, warp, or degrade over time compared to other products that are made of vinyl, PVC, or silicone material. The fact that Valor is machine-pressed together, rather than glued or simply set in place during installation, is also an advantage over other systems. Valor is also securely fastened to the front lip of the gutter.

Unmatched Design

Lastly, many of the competitors’ products have a horizontal frame design, which slows down water absorption and traps moisture within the frame, leading to moss and algae growth, which can clog up the mesh. To prevent this, Valor has specifically oriented its louvers vertically. This design not only provides for exceptional strength and absorption but also allows the guard to breathe and dry out more easily after rain.

Over the years, we have seen every gutter guard product in action. None of them have been able to match the impressive array of design features offered by Valor Gutter Guard. It is for this reason that we have chosen Valor to be the exclusive gutter protection system offered by Bay Area Gutter Covers.

Which gutter covers are the best? The answer is Valor – hands down.
