Leafblaster

Revolutionary Design

As far as water flow capacity, LeafBlaster can handle up to 150 inches of hourly rainfall as demonstrated on water displays at home and garden shows, so it’s great for rain water harvesting.

Rain and wind remove debris

Our research shows that the pounding rain and wind combined with the slope of the roof “splash off” most sand, pollen, leaves, and other debris naturally. This design feature provides excellent performance year after year.

Visibility of LeafBlaster® on your home

Painted colors are not needed because LeafBlaster is not easily seen from the ground. It stands up about 1/8th of an inch above the front lip of the gutter, and is recessed back about 1/8th of an inch from the front lip of the gutter.

Finger and thumb seam fasteners

Each 5-foot section seams together with a metal fastener called a “Finger.” A finger is an aluminum fastener that neatly, accurately and firmly locks the sections in place by fitting into “grooves” on each side of the aluminum channel that supports the stainless steel mesh. The fingers have a slight pitch upwards along the length of their middle that drains water back into the mesh. Other companies generally use caulking to seam sections together, which will later crack, tear or peel in the sun.

On outside corners we seam the sections together with a fastener called a “Thumb.” Like the fingers, the thumbs are a little larger and decoratively seam together the two sections making a sealed enclosure. End caps seal off LeafBlaster at the end of a gutter. This helps keep bugs, birds and animals out.
