Gutter knight mesh has different types of gutter mesh with various hole spacing, in most cases it will keep 95% of leaves and debris out and anything small enough to get through will simply flush out of the gutter when it rains
Our ember guard is specifically designed for bushfire prone areas and is a custom made gutter solution, suits all roof types and is bushfire compliant – conforms to AS3959-2009
Gutter Knight mesh has a spread of flame index of ‘0’. Meaning being either aluminium or steel it’s not going to spread flames, unlike some other products
Gutter Knight gutter mesh when installed seals off the guttering system so nothing should enter (unless they eat metal?). The only way ‘vermin’ can get in is up the inside of downpipes but there is ways we can stop that too if it’s a problem
When it rains heavily will water still get into my gutters or just run straight off onto the ground?
our Gutter Knight mesh has a diamond profile which is specially designed to allow better water capture, meaning water easily enters the gutter and into your tank
We often quote for builders and happy to quote off a plan if you send them through
Here’s a quick run down:
– Plastic unless protected out in the sun and weather breaks down – we have all seen plastic that has been outside for some time and it becomes hard and brittle
– Plastic in a fire will ignite or in high heat will deform
– Plastic is made from chemicals that leach out over time and may end up in your water tank
– Plastic needs to be manufatured thicker for strength so will cut down on water into the gutters or cause more water ‘sheeting’ (run off)
Aluminium and Steel don’t have these problems and are ‘cleaner’ materials to use.
People ask us why we don’t use plastic? As we are independant we can use or buy what ever material we like – but when it comes down to it at the end of the day we need to provide a warranty and stand behind the product we use, as we don’t want any problems (just like you don’t) we only use Aluminium and Steel mesh.
We bring everything we need and don’t need to use your power
I have heard this before from customers who had a ‘salesperson’ around trying to scare them with ridiculous stories. When you think about it there is really only a few inches gap at the most between the edge of the roof and the tip of the gutter, so not that much space at all – and once the mesh (either steel or aluminium) is screwed to the edge of the gutter and fixed to the roofing, the mesh is tight.
Good luck on a possum bending it, and if by some chance it did it’s not going to make any difference to the performance anyway…
If you do come by one of those 30 kilo German Shepard sized possums, please take a picture I would love to see one :)
It’s the same with mesh, even though mesh from different companies may at first apprearance all ‘look’ the same that’s very rarely the case, and ‘yes’ you get the salesperson who will always say that their mesh is exactly the same as the more expensive one but in reality they are peddling a cheap product that once installed and when you do get problems they are gone.
We all have bought products in the past that were cheap that have ended up costing us more in the long run – here’s something to think about; it will cost you the same labour rate to install a inferior product as it will cost a premium product, so why not do it right the first time. Remember; you get what you pay for…
