Question 1

Which Alu-Rex product should I choose if I have problems with pine needles?

Accepted Answer

The DoublePro Microfiltration Continuous Hanger™ keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.

Question 2

What does the DoublePro Microfiltration Continuous Hanger™ 360° warranty covered?

Accepted Answer

Alu-Rex’s flagship product is covered by the most extensive warranty in the industry: a lifetime warranty on materials, durability, and clog-free performance. DoublePro is the only gutter guard whose clog-free warranty covers pine areas.

Question 3

Do wet leaves stick to Alu-Rex products?

Accepted Answer

Only temporarily. Alu-Rex products boast a smooth, perforated surface. Leaves and debris that land on the surface of Alu-Rex products dry quickly in the sun. A little wind is all it takes to sweep away dry leaves and debris.

Question 4

Can the installation of Alu-Rex products create leaks in my roof?

Accepted Answer

No. Alu-Rex products do not cause any leaks. No shingles are raised and no nails or screws go into the roof during installation. Beware of look-alike products that require you to lift the shingles, as these can lead to leaks.

Question 5

Can Alu-Rex products withstand heavy water flow?

Accepted Answer

Even if all the perforations get covered, which never happens because the wind sweeps away leaves and debris, Alu-Rex products can drain up to three times the quantity of water ever recorded in the heaviest rainstorm. Water still gets between the leaves allowing it to drain into the eavestrough.

Question 6

What's the difference between the Gutter Clean System and Continuous Hanger gutter systems?

Accepted Answer

The Gutter Clean System is an eavestrough protection system that prevents leaves and debris from getting in and clogging the existing eavestrough. The Continuous Hanger™ system covers your eavestrough entirely while letting water flow freely.

Question 7

Do Alu-Rex products require maintenance?

Accepted Answer

In the vast majority of cases, a light breeze is enough to sweep away normal debris. In areas under the roof or under shallow overhangs on sloped roofs, debris may build up where the wind cannot reach it. We recommend that you occasionally clean out these areas.

Question 8

Why doesn’t water go into my eavestroughs? There are simply not enough holes, or they are too small.

Accepted Answer

The exclusive Alu-Perf technology has 489 holes every 19 inches (48 cm), allowing water to drain at the same rate as a 2 in. x 3 in. (5 cm x 7.5 cm) downspout. Rigorous testing has proven Alu-Rex products can drain over 32.9 in. (836 mm) of water an hour over a length of 20 feet (6 m).
