Leaf mesh is a heavy duty polyethylene gutter guard hardy enough to withstand gum trees, possums & light hail. Leaf mesh is made by Tapex exclusively for Leaf Shield Gutter Protection Specialists. Our leaf mesh gutter protection system is designed to collect more water & yet stop leaves from entering the gutters. Leaf mesh comes in a range of colours to suit your roof & can be installed to all roof types & valleys.
Fine leaf mesh can be installed to all gutters & valleys. We have added this product to our leaf guard range to assist people with jacarandas, pine trees & natives with small leaves. Fine leaf mesh comes in aluminium & stainless steel & is attached to the roof using our standard saddle system, but can also be attached to the roof & gutters using an adhesive tape (15 years of warranty).
Diamond aluminium gutter guards come in a range of Colorbond colours & have a zero fire rating. Choose fire rated gutter guards in bushfire zones. Diamond aluminium is the most suitable gutter protection against ember attack.

If you want a low maintenance gutter guard system then we do only recommend installing a gutter guard over the gutters creating a ski slope effect allowing the leaves to simply slide off the roof. In-gutter systems are all relatively cheap but require a lot of maintenance as the leaves will not slide off the roof, instead, the leaves will sit on the mesh or brush in your gutter. The only way to clean the gutters is to remove the guard, clean, then replace back into your gutters.
Any system that attaches to the edge of the gutter, then slips under the second tile of the roof works well. This is because the pitch of the roof is maintained & encourages the leaves to slide off instead of sitting in your gutters.
Yes, our Fine Leaf mesh will stop these very fine leaves from blocking your gutters. These installations may still need bi-annual cleans to remove the leaf matter from the roof. Fine Leaf mesh looks like flyscreen mesh but is made of aluminium or stainless steel instead of fibreglass. We fit the Fine Leaf mesh to the gutters in the same way as any of our other leaf guards.
Leafshield Gutter Protection Specialists will stop birds & other wildlife from nesting in the roof which will eventually stop the associated lice, smell & noise. Ants & cockroaches often nest in gutters filled with leaves, so clean gutters can often stop this problem as well.
Yes, a quality gutter guard or leaf guard properly installed will not only stop all types of leaves but will also possum proof, rat proof, snake proof & bird proof your home. We suggest you speak to a professional about the correct way to remove the animal/s & /or their nest. Then we can seal off the roof (using a quality gutter guard) to prevent them returning. It is important that any nests are removed, particularly if they have eggs or young ones, because any animal will return to it's nest.
We only use experienced gutter guard installers to install all our gutter protection systems. Our installers hold blue or white cards & are trained to work safely at heights. Leafshield Gutter Protection Qld prides itself on quality installations that will last well past the warranty period. Leafshield offers a 10-year workmanship warranty on all their gutter protection systems. Our Gutter Guard products have been keeping leaves out of gutters since 1995.
Yes, we would advise the customer if gutters need replacing or repair. Leafshield can often recommend a suitable plumber to assist you with replacing or repairing your gutters. Leafshield Gutter Protection will arrange to complete the installation at a later date once the gutters have been fixed.
Most importantly, the leaf guard must be attached to the roof between 250mm and 330mm up the roof, over the gutter and attached firmly to the edge of the gutter using a colour matched angle trim. This method of installation completely stops any leaves or pests entering your gutters & valleys, & encourages leaves to simply slide off the roof. Cliplock and flat roofs are often pan fixed to stop leaves getting in, but the mesh will need to be cleaned off regularly if the roof is flat .
Many people install gutter guard because it is too dangerous to climb onto the roof & clean the gutters themselves. Blocked gutters and valleys can cause major water damage inside the house. Roofers and builders in the insurance industry believe that most water damage to ceilings is caused by broken tiles and valleys blocked with leaves. Many insurance companies ask that gutter guard be installed prior to the repair of water damaged ceilings.
Yes, if money is an issue then we recommend that you install the valley guard before the gutter guard is installed. If the valley is not guarded then leaves will build up behind the guttermesh and will eventually cause the valleys to block up. Blocked valleys (or valleys filled with leaves and debris) are the most common reason for water damage inside the home.
