Why Aluminium Is The Best Material For Gutter Guards?

Aluminium gutter guards are the best gutter guards for the Australian climate.

If you’re considering installing a gutter guard protection system the chances are you’re fed up of constantly clearing leaves out of your gutters, having your drain pipes overflowing and are reading hundreds of gutter guard reviews and trying to gauge which is the right type and what material is best for you!

There are many forms of gutter protection systems available for more information see our article on the different types of gutter protection systems.

Things to consider in your quest for the right gutter protection system include cost and effort of both the initial installation and ongoing maintenance required.

When sifting through gutter guard reviews you’ll likely repeatedly read about ‘experts’ and users installing and recommending aluminium gutter guard mesh as a superior quality option, but why?
