Installation of Gutter Guard using Leaf Shield
We recently undertook a tiled roof restoration and installed Leafshield Gutter Protection on a home that nestles into the Burleigh Heads National Park. Being surrounded by gum trees and lots of other native trees meant that the gutters and roof were constantly covered in leaf litter and debris which can cause water to build up and block your gutters, down pipes and underground drains. You can imagine the issues this can cause and the costliness of repairs!

The Leafshield gutter protection system has a 10 year guarantee and its function is to:

• Eliminates blocked gutters and drainpipes
• Improves water collection, quality and efficiency
• Increases your gutter’s life expectancy
• Stops overflowing gutters
• Reduces fire hazards
• Prevents internal flooding
• Protects from unwanted intrusions (birds etc)

Unlike other gutter guard systems, the guttermesh products are installed so that a “ski slope” is created to allow  leaves, gum nuts and other debris blow or roll off.  Any fine dust that gets through can be blown out or will wash through in the next rain. 

The Leafshield gutter protection system will fit on practically any type of roof including tile, trimdeck and Colorbond.

Unfortunately this brand new home has extensive hail damage to its roof, flashings, fixtures and fittings in the November 2012 storm. This week Master Roofing Australia removed the existing hail damaged roof and laid a new one in the colour ‘Ironstone’. We are very pleased with the finish and the owners are too.

If you are thinking about replacing your roof, have a look at the Colorbond website for some design and colour inspiration – it really can make a big difference to the aesthetics of your home!
