Are you in the market for a new gutter system?
Whether your existing gutter system is older, you have a new construction home, or your current gutter system isn’t performing well, it’s time to consider your options. From half-round gutters to gutter filters, stainless steel mesh gutter covers, and complete gutter systems, there is a lot to choose from.
If you’re leaning more toward installing stainless steel mesh gutter covers on your existing gutter system, it’s a great choice. There are probably some questions you have regarding their effectiveness, maintenance, and how well they hold up throughout the years. You’ve come to the right place! Keep reading to learn if stainless steel mesh gutter covers work so you can make an informed decision about installing them.
What are Stainless Steel Mesh Gutter Covers?
Stainless steel mesh gutter covers are exactly that – pieces of stainless steel mesh that are placed over an open-top gutter system. Some have small openings, while others have larger ones depending on the brand and style. Stainless steel mesh gutter covers can be purchased at home improvement stores and online and installed by the homeowner, or a professional gutter installation company can install them.
Stainless steel mesh gutter covers are placed directly over a standard gutter system. They function to keep larger debris like leaves and twigs out. Some stainless steel mesh gutter covers allow smaller debris like roof sediment and seeds to enter the gutter. Even pine needles can land vertically and become trapped inside the small holes. Therefore, you’ll want to be very selective when it comes to the brand and style of stainless steel mesh gutter cover you choose to install.
Do Stainless Steel Mesh Gutter Covers Require Maintenance?
Cleaning open-top gutters is a time-consuming chore that most homeowners dread multiple times each year. Because the inside of the gutter is completely exposed, debris like leaves, twigs, shingle sediment, and even pests can enter the gutter system causing clogs. They require quite a bit of maintenance and need to be cleaned often to ensure water can flow freely throughout the system. What about stainless steel mesh gutter covers? It depends on the number of openings the gutter cover has.
A stainless steel mesh gutter cover that has larger openings will require regular maintenance to remove small debris like seeds and pine needles. All a seed needs to grow is water, soil, and sunlight, all of which can be found in a gutter that has gutter covers with large openings, allowing the seed to blossom into a weed or tiny tree. Not only can this impede water flow, but it’s an eyesore.
Installing the right stainless steel mesh gutter cover will keep the inside of your gutters free of debris, allowing water to flow freely throughout the gutter system. One that has tiny openings that can allow water to enter the gutter while keeping small debris like seeds out – one like Home Evolutions VA’s Xtreme mesh gutter guard system.
