The ultimate rain solution, K-Guards

By Guardian Roofing. 

Ensure your home stays protected from rain and debris with a gutter guard system designed for durability and efficiency. 

If you live in a rainy climate or are surrounded by trees, dealing with rain and foliage regularly can be a headache. But what if there was a way to keep your gutters clog-free and maintenance-free year-round? Imagine a system that not only handles heavy rain but also resists wear and tear, enhances curb appeal and even deters pests. Here at Guardian Roofing we dive into the benefits of this game-changing gutter guard system and explain how it can revolutionize your home maintenance routine. 

Clog-free performance 

K-Guard’s unique design ensures that your gutters remain clog-free, no matter how much debris accumulates. The curved hood keeps leaves, pine needles and other debris out while allowing water to flow freely. This feature is particularly beneficial during the rainy season, reducing the need for frequent gutter cleaning and maintenance. 

Durability and strength  

Constructed from heavy-duty aluminum and supported by a patented high-strength hanger system, K-Guard gutters offer exceptional durability and strength. This ensures they can withstand the weight of water and debris without sagging or pulling away from your home, providing reliable performance year after year. 

Long-lasting protection 

K-Guard is designed to resist corrosion and wear, offering long-lasting protection against the elements. The all-weather polymer hangers and durable aluminum construction ensure that your gutter system will remain functional and effective for years, even in challenging climates. 

Enhanced water management 

K-Guard’s six-inch gutter system can handle significantly more water than traditional gutters, making it ideal for the heavy rainfall typical of the region. The system also features a rear drainage channel, which efficiently directs water away from your home, preventing overflow and protecting your foundation, roof and fascia boards from water damage. 

Aesthetic appeal 

Unlike traditional gutter systems that can look bulky and unattractive, K-Guard gutters are designed to resemble crown molding, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your home. This sleek, integrated look adds to your home’s curb appeal while providing superior functionality. 

Pest prevention 

Clogged gutters can create stagnant water, which attracts pests like mosquitoes and rodents. K-Guard’s clog-free design ensures smooth water flow, eliminating standing water and reducing the risk of pest infestations around your home. 

Lifetime no-clog warranty 

Many K-Guard dealers, including Guardian Roofing, offer a lifetime no-clog warranty. This warranty provides peace of mind, knowing that your investment in K-Guard is protected long-term and that you won’t have to worry about gutter maintenance for years to come. 

How the K-guard system works  

The K-Guard Gutter Guard System consists of four key components: the gutter, the hood, the downspouts and the patented high-strength hangers. 

• The gutter: A six-inch wide gutter that handles more water than traditional systems. 
• The hood: A curved cover that prevents debris from entering while allowing water to flow into the gutter. 
• The downspouts: Efficiently channel water away from your home to prevent overflow and foundation damage. 
• The hangers: All-weather polymer hangers provide exceptional support, preventing sagging and maintaining the system’s integrity. 

How does K-Guard compare to traditional open-top gutters? 

• Mounting system: Traditional gutter systems often attach to a home’s fascia or roof, which can lead to damage like sagging, separation and leaks. K-Guard mounts above the floodplain, avoiding these issues and ensuring a more secure fit that prevents damage. 
• Downspout size: K-Guard downspouts are larger (4×3 inches, also known as 3×4 inches), capable of handling at least 23 inches of rain per hour. In contrast, traditional gutters typically have smaller downspouts (2×3 inches), which are insufficient for heavy rainfall, leading to overflows and water damage. 
• Inside corners: K-Guard features unique 45-degree by 45-degree inside corners, eliminating chokepoints and allowing water to flow smoothly through the system to the downspouts. Traditional gutters often overflow at the corners due to smaller, less efficient designs. 
• Lifetime no clog guarantee: K-Guard offers a 100% lifetime no-clog guarantee, meaning you will never have to worry about clogs or the need for frequent cleaning. Traditional systems, however, require regular maintenance to prevent clogs from debris. 
• Transferable warranty: K-Guard’s durability ensures it is guaranteed transferable for the life of your home, providing long-term peace of mind. Traditional gutter systems have a much shorter lifespan and lack this level of assurance. 

How does k-guard compare to other “complete” gutter guard systems? 

• Size: K-Guard’s system can handle a minimum of 23 inches of rain per hour, whereas other complete systems have less capacity, making them less effective during heavy rainstorms. 
• Trough support: Unlike other systems that often sag and create clogs or pest issues, K-Guard’s robust design and strong hangers prevent these problems, ensuring a more reliable performance. 
• Rear drainage channel: K-Guard includes a rear drainage channel that protects the fascia board from wind and rain damage. Other systems lack this feature, making them prone to issues with sagging and water damage.
