No Flow Reduction
With Gutterflo
The new and innovative GutterFlo mesh prevents blocked gutters, without restricting the flow rate in the gutter.
Independent testing has been carried out at BRE Building Research Establishment to ensure that GutterFlo can be installed with no restriction of the flow rate in the gutter.
It is one of the only products on the market to achieve this.
Many are not aware that gutters have to meet a British Standard Approval for flow rate and any restriction in flow can mean that the gutter does not comply with this approval.
Benefits of GutterFlo
- Easy to fit on most gutters
- 4m x 110mm Roll Mesh easily cut to length
- Universal application fits most standard gutters
- Fine mesh filters out debris and pine needles
- 16 x clear polycarbonate clips included
- Clips are compatible with bird spikes
- UV protected
- Unlike other solutions there will be no reduction in flow rate
GutterFlo’s unique patented clip design allows for an easy fitting to most types of guttering and allows for variations in the tile position in relation to the gutter.
The mesh is strong but flexible and is UV protected. It can be fitted above the tile, below the tile and above the roofing felt/eaves tray or curved into the gutter.
Gutters are manufactured with a British Standard approval for flow rate to enable designers and architects to specify the gutter capacity requirement for a building.
If leaves, pine needles, moss or debris block the gutter it reduces the flow rate and capacity and the gutter may overflow which can cause significant building damage and damp inside the house which can lead to harmfull mold.
Gutterguards are installed to prevent the gutters blocking with leaves, pine needle, moss and other debris.
However Independent testing of Gutter Guard systems conducted by the Building Research Establishment has shown that some Gutter Guards can significantly reduce the flow rate in the gutter which means that the gutter itself no longer meets the British Standard for flow rate at which it was approved.
The test for the Gutter brush showed a 50% reduction in flow rate and also led to the gutter overflowing in the same way as it would if it was blocked with leaves. The Local Authority Building Control subsequently updated their advice about possible non compliant gutterguards.
Gutterflo was the ONLY product tested by the Building Research Establishment which showed absolutely no reduction in flow rate, with water flowing in the gutter at full capacity and not overflowing
As featured in Roofing Today Magazine
Roofing Today published an article ‘The True Test of Gutter Guards‘ which details the Building Research Establishment testing and the comments by Local Authority Building Control.
It acknowledges the issues raised with Hedgehog, Gutterbrush and rigid mesh products and highlights the benefits of Gutterflo
