What is Gutter Helmet?

The revolutionary Gutter Helmet is a multi-patented closed gutter protection system that installs over your existing full-size gutters, protecting your home from the destructive and damaging effects of rainwater.

Because there are no vertical openings, leaves and debris are prevented from entering the gutter system.
