| Q: What happens when leaves and debris clog the eavestrough / gutter? |
| |
|
A: The MaxProtekTM is the most efficient leaf guard on the market.
Without a leaf guard, leaves and debris clog the eavestrough / gutter and prevent water from emptying.
When it rains, the water seeps into the residence and causes damage to the walls and the base of the building since it cannot evacuate normally.
With the MaxProtekTM, eavestrough / gutter does not get clogged.
When it rains, water evacuates normally; no water infiltration.

| Q: What happens when snow and ice clog the eavestrough / gutter? |
| |
A: The MaxProtekTM allows water to drain normally all year round.
An eavestrough / gutter filled with snow and ice is not functional in the winter.
When it rains or temperatures rise, the water seeps into the residence and causes damages to the walls and the base
of the building since it cannot drain normally.
With the MaxProtekTM, snow and ice remain on top of the product, leaving the eavestrough / gutter functional.
When it rains or temperatures rise, water drains normally.

| Q: Will the MaxProtekTM support heavy rainfalls without overflowing? |
| |
|
A: Yes, the MaxProtek can drain almost 3 times the highest rainfall ever recorded.
See independent tests.
|
|
| Q: What happen when debris sit on top of the MaxProtekTM? |
| |
|
A: Most debris are blown away by a gentle breeze. Wet leaves will dry up quickly and disperse by themselves.
See independent tests.
|
|
| Q: How the MaxProtekTM protects against damage caused by snow and ice? |
| |
|
A: First, the MaxProtekTM helps to withstand evenly the weight of snow and ice.
Also, since ice sits on top of the MaxProtekTM, there is no risk of warping caused by the expansion of ice
freezing and melting inside the eavestrough / gutter.
|
|
| Q: On what types of eavestroughs / gutters can the MaxProtekTM be installed? |
| |
|
A: On standard eavestroughs / gutters, halfround and other models with an opening of 100 or 125 mm.
In Europe, most homes have that type of eavestroughs / gutters installed.
Contact us if a different type of eavestroughs / gutters is installed on your home.
|
|
| Q: Does the MaxProtek come in several colors? |
| |
|
A: No, the MaxProtekTM is not visible from the ground and therefore, does not need to be painted.
|
|
| Q: Will the MaxProtek prevent icicles from forming? |
| |
|
A: MaxProtekTM will not cause or prevent icicles from forming on top of the eavestrough / gutter.
If the attic space is not properly insulated icicles may form.
In fact, MaxProtekTM prevents warping caused by the expansion of ice freezing and melting inside the eavestrough / gutter.
|
|
| Q: How MaxProtekTM compares to other leaf guards available? |
| |
|
A: First, cheaper products will need to be moved back into place several times a year. The MaxProtek is made of sturdy aluminium
and is screwed fixed to the front to make sure it will remain in place season after season. Also, other products have larger openings
that may allow for a significant amount of debris to enter the eavestrough / gutter. The debris can also become trapped. The small
holes on the MaxProtek will drain efficiently any rainfalls without overflowing. See independent tests.
