Technical Information - Leaf Gutter Guards

HDPE Mesh

Australia's premium gutter protection system utilising the latest technologies in polymer based extrusion process manufacturing. Made using premium virgin grade HDPE (High Density PolyEthylene) plastic and with a high UV carbon content, designed to offer a product that is user friendly and at a fair price.

Unique profile has been developed over numerous years of research and market experience. The profile offered is the ideal for Australian climatic, installation and structural conditions. Thicker profile products run the disadvantage of not contouring to the roof profile and forcing an upward pressure of the tile causing air-gap cavities throughout the roofline which has been known to create both a fire and water hazard into the roof cavity. Substantial air-gaps created by thicker profiles can void roof manufacturers warranties and thus home insurance policies.

HDPE Mesh comes complete with the following:

  • 10 year Manufacturers warranty against UV degradation.
  • Estimated life expectancy over 20 years.
  • Tested and proven not to sheet.
  • Tested and in conformance with AS1745-1989 standard for commercial plastic products to Australian climatic conditions.
  • Manufactured from premium virgin (new) HDPE polymer. No recycled product at all.
  • 100% Recyclable polymer.
  • Unique diamond shaped apertures ensure the maximum water entry into your gutters with minimal debris.
  • The most pliable product on the market allowing for ease of contour to the hardest of roofing profiles.
  • Engineered to minimise the creation of air-gaps within the roofing cavity between the guard and the roofing material reducing the potential fire risks ahead of any other product on the market.
  • Available in pre-packed form for ease of handling and minimal wastage.
  • Carefully Designed. Engineered and Developed by a team with over 50 years combined experience within the gutter protection industry.
  • Affordable
