Most Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between aluminium and
H.D.P.E plastic mesh?
They both do the same job keeping out leaves but the main
difference is the aluminium is fireproof, whereas the H.D.P.E would melt if
burning embers landed on it.
What is the fire rating on the aluminium mesh?
It is compliant with Australian bushfire guidelines - AS3959
and has been tested to AS1530.2 with a flammable index of 0. Which is required
by all councils for homes in bushfire prone areas. Our mesh has been tested by
the C.S.I.R.O for Australian climatic conditions -

Can leaf screen be fitted to both tile and metal
roofs? How is it fitted?
Yes. It can be fitted to most roofs.

fittings.
What is the life span of the mesh?
Both have the same expectancy of around twenty years (the
H.D.P.E mesh has a high UV carbon content).
How much does it cost?
Not many homes are the same size or shape. It depends on the
construction of your house, the roof pitch, type of roof used and also the
height. That's why we give free, no obligation, on site quotes six days a week.
Does it need any attention once its installed?
Yes. No leaf screen or gutter guard should be considered 100%
maintenance free. We recommend you have your gutter system inspected every two
to three years, particularly in heavy treed areas, to ensure there is no mulch
build-up if leaves are not blown off the roof by the wind.
