Alu-Rex is the most effective retail gutter protection line on the market. In open gutters, leaves and debris can accumulate and eventually cause clogging, preventing water from draining properly. When rain gutters are clogged, there is a risk of water seeping into the home, since normal flow is obstructed. With Alu-Rex rain gutter protection, leaves and other debris won’t fill your rain gutters and will eventually be swept away by the wind instead. When it rains, water is effectively evacuated and the risk of seepage is avoided.

Alu-Rex Rain Gutter Protection let water flow easily all year long. A rain gutter blocked by snow and ice is not functional for part of the year. When it thaws or rains there is a greater risk of water seepage. With Alu-Rex Rain Gutter Protection, snow and ice settle on top, keeping rain gutters functioning through freeze/thaw cycles and all year round.
