Gutter Guard Gold Coast

A gutter guard can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of gutter cleaning, though it doesn’t fully eradicate the necessity. Various types of gutter mesh, especially those installed by experts like Aussie Gutter Protection, merely need a system flush once or twice yearly to expel any dirt, grime or debris blocking the downpipes that make it through.

For coastal properties on the Gold Coast, especially those within 10 km of the beach, we recommend employing a plastic gutter mesh due to its resistance against the corrosive effects of salt, which can rapidly deteriorate metal gutter guards. However, alternative materials might be necessary if your property requires a specialised ember guard solution. Please consult with our team to explore the most viable options, ensuring a balance between durability amidst salt exposure and optimal ember protection.

In the Gold Coast areas prone to bushfires, fire-rated gutter guards aid in preventing the accumulation of flammable debris in gutters. Depending on the BAL rating of the site, select ember guards with a minimum 2mm hole size or those made from non-combustible materials like steel or bronze, ensuring adherence to Australian standards to prevent burning embers from igniting debris in your gutters.

Gutter guards effectively thwart birds and vermin entering your roof space and gutters, including snakes, rats, and even possums. Leaf guard is a substantial vermin and bird preventative measure, safeguarding against local pest birds such as mynas, seagulls and starlings. Ensure application only occurs once birds and other pests have left existing nesting sites to comply with animal protection laws.

For a complete bird-proofing solution, properties with solar panels should also include a solar panel bird protection system to ensure birds vacate the property entirely. 

For homes using tank water supplies in the Gold Coast, gutter guards act as efficient pre-collection filters. Most gutter guards suffice for non-consumption uses, while for potable water, ensure your gutter guard, like the TuffMesh range from Aussie Gutter Protection, complies with AS4020 Australian standards.

Pine needles can present a unique challenge due to their slender, lengthy shape, which enables them to penetrate various guard systems. Ember guard emerges as the optimal choice for defending against needles due to their small aperture size, preventing needles from infiltrating the mesh. Aussie Gutter Protection has ingeniously crafted ember guards with directional holes in their mesh, ensuring water can permeate effectively despite the smaller hole size. This feature is particularly crucial for homes on the Gold Coast during the storm season, as it enables the water to flow through the mesh instead of sheeting, maintaining the gutters' cleanliness and functionality while also providing a robust defence against pine needle penetration.
