Leaf Stopper DEKGUARD - Lysaght - Spanrib

Gutter Guard for Lysaght Spanrib Roofs

LeafStopper DEKGUARD is a gutter guard system designed specifically for Lysaght Spanrib 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 Spanrib roof profile with a 48mm rib height and 820mm cover width.

Spanrib requires approximately 11 Gripits per metre to support the Mesh Shield correctly along the roof edge.

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

• Roof Profile: Spanrib

• Gripit Requirement: 11 Gripits per metre

Why Spanrib Requires DEKGUARD

Lysaght Spanrib is a concealed-fix metal roof profile commonly used on commercial, industrial and large residential buildings throughout Australia.

The profile features wide flat pans and deep ribs, providing excellent spanning capabilities and water carrying capacity. However, these same design features mean traditional corrugated roof gutter guard systems are generally unsuitable.

Unlike corrugated roof gutter guard systems that use saddles fixed over corrugation ribs, 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 maintaining effective rainwater flow into the gutter.

The Spanrib profile requires approximately 11 Gripits per metre to provide the correct support and attachment points along the roof edge.

About the Lysaght Spanrib Roof Profile

Spanrib is one of Lysaght's heavy-duty roofing profiles and is commonly specified for commercial and industrial projects where long spans and structural performance are important.

If you're searching for gutter guard for a Spanrib roof, DEKGUARD provides a purpose-designed solution that allows Mesh Shield to be securely attached without relying on traditional corrugated roof saddle systems.

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 large Spanrib roofs located 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.
