Leaf Shield gets you out of gutters

CLEANING gutters is an unpleasant task at any time of the year but in preparation for the fire season it is important to ensure that your gutters are free of debris that can become a fire hazard.

Leaf Shield Gutter Protection’s Leafmesh prevents the build up of leaves and other blockages, stops embers from getting underneath the roof and gives you peace of mind that your gutters are free from leaves and debris.

The heavy duty polyethylene product has been engineered to suit Australia’s harsh conditions and has UV stabilisers to retain strength and colour.

It can be fixed to both tiled and steel roofs and comes with a 15-year guarantee.

As well as preventing a build up of leaves, Leafmesh also helps keep rats, snakes, birds, possums and other pests from gutters.

This improves the quality and sanitation of water and because the flow is unrestricted by blockages, more water ends up in the tank, which is vital with today’s water shortages and restrictions.

Installing the Leafmesh system removes the hassle and danger of having to get on the roof and clean the gutters yourself. It’s a multi-purpose solution for an everyday problem.

The Leaf Shield consultants will visit your property to measure and quote the most appropriate gutter mesh for your particular roof or leaf type.

They also offer a free gutter clean prior to installation.
