Leaves that fall into your gutters come in many shapes and sizes. Vegetation that glides off a well-chosen mesh may pass through or get stuck in less suitable options, so it’s important to consider the size of the leaves in your area.
Poorly-specified gutter mesh may put your property at risk from bushfire by letting leaves into your gutters or letting embers through the gaps between your guttering and roof.
When animals get into your roof and gutters, they can pose all sorts of threats to your building. Sturdy gutter mesh will keep these pests and vermin out.
Accumulated hail or snow can damage your gutters and threaten the integrity of poorly-specified mesh. Hail can also puncture some meshes.
Gutter mesh strength varies from product to product, so it’s important to consider your strength needs and determine how important strength and durability are to you.
Avoid mixing “dissimilar” metals, minimise time of wetness and ensure that you use fit-for-purpose, specially coated steel to manage the risk of corrosion for your roof, gutters or mesh.
