Leaf Stopper DEKGUARD - Lysaght - Flatdek

Gutter Guard for Lysaght Flatdek Roofs

LeafStopper DEKGUARD is a gutter guard system designed specifically for Lysaght Flatdek metal roof profiles.

The DEKGUARD system uses the purpose-designed Gripit fastening system to secure the Mesh Shield to the flat section of the roof profile where traditional corrugated roof saddles are not suitable.

This product is designed to suit the Lysaght Flatdek roof profile with a 45mm rib height and 250mm cover width.

Flatdek requires approximately 12 Gripits per metre to support the Mesh Shield correctly along the roof edge.

If your Colorbond® roof uses the Flatdek profile, this DEKGUARD kit has been designed specifically for that roof shape.

Compatible Roof Profile

• Manufacturer: Lysaght
• Roof Profile: Flatdek
• Rib Height: 45mm
• Cover Width: 250mm
• Gripit Requirement: 12 Gripits per metre

Why Flatdek Requires DEKGUARD

Lysaght Flatdek is a concealed-fix metal roof profile featuring flat pans and raised ribs. Unlike standard corrugated roof profiles, Flatdek needs a gutter guard fixing method designed for flat-based metal roofing.

Traditional corrugated roof gutter guard systems use saddles shaped for curved corrugations. These fixing methods are generally unsuitable for Flatdek roofs.

DEKGUARD uses patented Gripit brackets designed specifically for flat-based roof profiles. Gripits secure the Mesh Shield to the flat section of the roof profile, helping create a secure installation while allowing rainwater to flow into the gutter.

What Comes in the DEKGUARD Kit?

• 250mm wide Mesh Shield roll in your selected kit length and selected Mesh Shield option (Standard, Premium or Fine Mesh)
• Trimets – used to connect the mesh to the gutter edge using hexagonal head screws
• Gripit brackets – the quantity required for Flatdek is automatically calculated when this roof profile is selected
• Colour-matched screws to match the Trimets and Gripits
• 1 free socket included with your order for hexagonal head screws

Mesh Options Available

• Standard Mesh: 3.5mm x 3.5mm aluminium mesh designed for general leaf and debris protection.
• Premium Mesh: Uses the same 3.5mm x 3.5mm aperture as Standard Mesh but is manufactured from thicker aluminium. At 0.80mm thick, Premium Mesh is approximately 46% thicker than Standard Mesh for increased durability.
• Fine Mesh: 1.8mm x 1.8mm woven aluminium mesh. Fine Mesh is the only BAL-rated mesh option in the Leaf Stopper range.

Helps Reduce Gutter Maintenance

No gutter guard system is completely maintenance-free. However, DEKGUARD helps reduce how often gutter cleaning is required by limiting leaves, twigs and debris entering the gutter.

This can be especially useful on Flatdek roofs near trees or exposed to wind-blown debris.

Improve Gutter Access with EasyAc

For easier gutter inspection and cleaning, consider adding an EasyAc gutter access panel.

EasyAc allows easier access for inspecting and flushing gutters without removing large sections of mesh.
