Leaf Stopper DEKGUARD - Metroll - Trimclad

Gutter Guard for Metroll Trimclad Roofs

LeafStopper DEKGUARD is a gutter guard system designed specifically for Metroll Trimclad 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 Metroll Trimclad roof profile with a 29mm rib height and 762mm cover width.

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

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

Why Trimclad Requires DEKGUARD

Metroll Trimclad is a popular flat-based metal roofing profile used across residential, commercial and industrial applications throughout Australia.

While the profile provides excellent strength and water-carrying capacity, its flat pans make traditional corrugated roof gutter guard fixing methods 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 allowing rainwater to flow effectively into the gutter.

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

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.

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 Trimclad 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.
