Most Frequently Asked Questions

about Elko GuttaGardTM

1. What keeps water from shooting over the Elko GuttaGard?

Answer: The physical laws governing the capillary action of

water running alongside a glass---called surface tension---is

the same principle used in the design of Elko GuttaGard.

Certified testing has shown that the panel can divert as

much as 6 inches of rain per hour. Most areas of the country

experience 35-45” inches of rain per year.

2. Can anything get into the gutter with the Elko

GuttaGard on top?

Answer: Some small debris will find its way into the opening

underneath. What little debris does enter generally washes

away in subsequent rainstorms. We recommend that the

downspout area be periodically checked for possible debris

collection. This can be easily done by observing the flow at

the base of the downspout. If water is freely flowing out,

everything is OK. Installing a larger downspout (3x4 instead

of the standard 2x3) will often eliminate clogs entirely.

3. How does Elko GuttaGard work with ice damming?

Answer: Elko GuttaGard will not prevent ice build-up.

It will prevent ice buildup from forming inside the gutter by

keeping snow out of the gutter. However, you may experi-

ence some small icicles outside the gutter because the panel

is keeping the ice from forming inside.

4. Can Elko GuttaGard be used on tiles roofs besides

Asphalt shingle roofs?

Answer: Elko GuttaGard has been successfully installed on

cedar shake, slate, and cement tile roofs (we recommend

extra care be taken). In some cases, the upper edge of the

panel has to be trimmed or notched out to avoid nails near

the eave. Also, the panel works well on steep roofs.
