Micromesh 6 in Gutter Guards 100 ft Clay - Contractor Grade

In this review of the Micromesh 6 in Gutter Guards 100 ft Clay, the bottom line is simple: this is for homeowners and contractors who want a heavy-duty, low-maintenance solution to clogged gutters that installs on top of existing gutters. The reviewer found the construction and materials the single biggest reason to buy - a painted 0.027 gauge aluminum frame with stainless steel mesh that is 100% manufactured in the USA and designed not to touch or damage roof shingles. It reads like a contractor-grade product built to keep leaves, needles and debris out while resisting rust and heavy weather.

Key Features

• All-American construction: Manufactured in the USA from painted 0.027 gauge aluminum for long-lasting corrosion resistance and consistent quality.
• Stainless steel mesh: Fine stainless mesh is secured into the aluminum frame using an innovative pressing method to block leaves, pine needles and small debris without degrading.
• Top-mount design: Fits on top of the gutter and is double banded so it does not contact or damage roof shingles while adding strength to the gutter system.
• Easy, reliable fit: Comes in 5 ft sections with color-matched screws and a margin notching system that overlaps for a continuous barrier along the gutter run.
• Weather ready: Heavy gauge aluminum construction and stainless mesh handle heavy downpours, snow and ice while minimizing overflow by slowing water entry through smaller holes.

Who It's For

Micromesh is best for homeowners with 5 in residential gutters, K-style hangers, half-round or box gutters who want to stop frequent gutter cleaning and protect rooflines from debris and pests. It suits rooflines that need a top-mounted guard that will not intrude on shingles, and contractors seeking a repeatable, durable installation product.

Those who need a snap-in, below-the-shingle system or who require a fully concealed fascia mount may want to evaluate other designs; professional installation is recommended for complex rooflines or when local codes require specific fastening methods.

Pros & Cons
