How does LeafProof® work?

Each section of LeafProof® is divided by LeafProof’s® patented “S” bend. This “S” bend runs the entire length of the section of LeafProof® and it allows the contractor to bend the section of LeafProof® that slides under the shingles to match the roof’s pitch. When a section of LeafProof® is bent to match the roof’s pitch, the section that covers the gutter remains relatively flat. When water flows from the roof and over the “S” bend, the “S” bend causes the water to churn, which, along with the slope of the section covering the gutter, significantly reduces the speed of the water flow. Each section of LeafProof® completely covers the gutter to the gutter lip. When the water reaches the gutter lip, due to surface tension, the flow is reversed and enters the water channel, which drains into the gutter.
