Q. How long does KGuard last?
A. There is really no time limit to the lifespan on this system. The coatings on the hood and gutter will easily last 20 years, the base materials will not corrode, and the internal hangers (which are protected from elements by the hood and gutter) will last almost indefinitely. Any homeowner can count on our guarantee that this product will last.
Q. Is the lifetime no-clog guarantee offered by dealers realistic? A. Yes. The K-Guard System is extremely effective at keeping leaves and debris out of the gutter. Our system is backed up with 3x4-inch downspouts that help flush out any small pieces of debris that may occasionally enter the gutter. And in the unlikely event that your K-Guard system ever does develop a clog, for any reason, your local K-Guard dealer will come to your home and remedy the problem-absolutely free.
Q. Why should I choose K-Guard over other systems?
A. K-Guard was fully engineered as an integrated leaf-free gutter
system from the ground up. No other system can offer the complete
range of benefits that K-Guard provides.
- A full, 5-inch wide gutter (same capacity as standard, k-style gutters)
- A 3-1/4-inch wide gutter bottom to accommodate 3x4-inch downspout
- Our patented hangers fully support our gutter from front to back
- Angled hanger design for added leverage and strength
- Front and rear drainage passages for improved water collecting
- A smooth, attractive design
- A convenient, removable hood
Q. What if my house doesn't have fascia board?

|
|
A. A simple fascia build-out could be performed on your home to enable a
K-Guard system to be installed. For further information, consult your
local dealer.
Q. Can I add a K-Guard hood to my existing gutters?
|
|
|
|
|
A. No. The K-Guard Leaf-Free Gutter System was designed and engineered as
a single, complete system. The custom-formed components are optimized
to perform with each other, but not with other open-top gutter
components. |
Q. Why does K-Guard have a removable hood?
|
|
|
|
A. K-Guard's two-piece (gutter and hood) system provides a series of benefits:
- Our product is far easier to install than any one-piece system. The open gutter is hung first; then the hood is attached.
- If
the hood is ever damaged by hail, ladders or tree branches, it is
easily removed and replaced without having to dismantle the gutter and
downspouts.
- If insects or small animals manage to get inside the gutter and nest, the hood can be removed, making the gutter easy to clean.
- In
cold weather areas, the hood can be removed to facilitate a retrofit
installation of heating cable to prevent icicle formation.
- If a
homeowner is curious to see if the gutters really work the way we say
they do, they can remove a section of hood and peek inside.
