You said the product was tested. Tested for what?
All of the products manufactured by Gutter Covers International have been independently tested and certified. The key words here are “independently tested and certified.” That means someone else tested the product so there was no chance of the results being skewed in our favor. If the product failed, the product failed, and that’s what would be reported. Of course, the product didn’t fail. In fact, it passed with flying colors. We told you about the wind test – 110 mph winds with no lift or movement. It was also tested and certified to handle 22 inches of rain per hour. That’s 44 feet of rain in one day – more than Hurricane Katrina dumped on New Orleans! It was also tested and certified to withstand 1200 pounds of weight per square foot. That’s comforting to those of us who have to deal with snow and ice. See for yourself – Independent Test Results.
I was told that attaching the gutter guard to my roof will void my shingle warranty or allow my roof to leak. Is that true?
Where is the product manufactured?
How does it work?
a. When using Gutter Topper, it’s a principle of physics. When it rains, the water runs down your roof and over the gutter protection. Because of surface tension, the water travels around the specially designed nose of the product, into your gutters. As an example, take a glass and place it sideways under the facet, turn on the water and you will see the water split in both directions going around the glass and then meeting from both sides at the bottom of the glass.
b. For products that are perforated, the water runs down the roof, onto the gutter protection and through the perforated holes. This allows the rainwater in but not the leaves or debris.
