What is a Gutter Guard?

Gutter Guard: Any cover system installed over open gutters to block debris while passing water.

Full definition

A gutter guard is any product installed over a standard gutter that blocks leaves, twigs, seed pods, and other debris while allowing water to flow into the gutter. Categories include micro-mesh (LeafBlaster Pro, LeafFilter), reverse-curve hood (Gutter Helmet), foam insert, screen, and brush.

Premier installs LeafBlaster Pro micro-mesh as our standard guard product — stainless steel mesh with apertures small enough to block pine needles while passing water freely.
