During the winter months, homeowners may wonder if gutter guards can be installed in cold weather. The good news is that gutter guards can be effectively installed year-round, regardless of season or location. In fact, many experts advise installing gutter guards before freezing temperatures set in. This helps prevent the formation of ice dams and the potential damage that melting ice can cause to a home’s structural integrity. So homeowners need not wait until spring to protect their homes from water damage – gutter guards can be installed right away.
Our micro-mesh gutter guards are an effective solution for preventing ice dams. Ice dams can form on the eaves of homes when melting snow from the roof reaches the eaves and refreezes. This frozen buildup blocks the drainage of meltwater, causing it to back up. The trapped water can then leak through the roof, potentially damaging the building and its contents.
The aluminum construction of our micro-mesh gutter protection makes your gutters more durable and able to withstand winter weather. By keeping debris out of the gutters, micro-mesh guards allow water to flow freely, reducing the buildup that can lead to ice dams. This prevents the additional weight and damage that ice dams can cause. Micro-mesh guards also make it easier to remove snow, as the fine mesh allows snow to easily filter through without getting trapped inside the gutters.
