Frequently Asked Questions

  • Grizzly Gutter Guards work best when installed at an angle between 5º and 15º. Less than 5º, debris will sit on the system. More than 15º and water can flow too quickly and off the edge of the covers. This optimal range keeps leaves and debris moving off the system with wind and rainfall yet keeps water moving through the covers, into your gutters and down the downspouts away from your home.

  • Yes, our panels can handle up to 60 gallons of water per minute. That's a lot of water.

  • A heavy-duty .024 recycled aluminum body mechanically hemmed with .42 surgical-grade stainless-steel mesh.

  • No. Each panel is made of aluminum and stainless steel, which cannot be chewed through. Plus, aluminum will not warp or distort over time like some of our competitors' plastic-constructed micro screen gutter covers. End caps seal off the ends of the gutters to keep animals out.

  • No, they are NOT screwed into the roof. With the fascia style, screws attach to the front lip of the gutter and into the fascia. With the flatback profile, screws go into the front lip of the gutter only—the back edge slips under the first row of shingles.

  • Yes. They are designed to go over your existing gutters. They can also be installed on new gutters.

  • No, the low-profile design is virtually invisible after installation.

  • Many variables determine the cost of installing Grizzly Gutter Guards. Installations require an initial inspection and may require work on the existing gutters. Other factors involve the height of your home since this determines some of the specialized equipment that may be necessary. More factors include linear footage and the condition of the existing fascia and roof.

  • Ice dams are caused by poor insulation and ventilation. So, no, the panels will not prevent or cause ice dams. The panels can, however, help reduce the amount of ice build-up in your gutters that can cause gutter seams to split, hangers to loosen, and gutters to pull off the house.

  • Your system may require little to no maintenance, but every house has different factors that may make maintenance more necessary. Your tree cover density, the type of trees, and how much wind you receive should be considered when determining if more maintenance is required. Like all exterior products on your home, the panels will get dirty over time. If you notice a buildup of dirt or debris on your system, rinse it off with a high-pressure nozzle on your garden hose.
