Eran Industries
Leafproof with the unique, patent-pending ChannelGuard is the only gutter protection product which is virtually clog and maintenance free. The Leafproof patented “S” bend slows the flow of rain water, which then enters the water channel due to surface tension. The ChannelGuard insert has been specifically designed not to obstruct the water flow and its downward angle makes it self-cleaning. The new ChannelGuard enhances the performance of Leafproof by preventing debris, including pine and fir needles, from entering the water channel. Leafproof is available in 14 colors, including copper, and the ChannelGuard insert is available in both neutral and black. 

Raindrop Gutter Guard System
Raindrop’s uniquely patented design boasts 23 precise details that combine to provide performance in all types of weather and rainfall amounts. Vertical bars with rounded top surfaces immediately begin separating rainwater from debris and redirecting the water down into the gutter by means of gravity and surface adhesion. Vertical bar layout allows Raindrop to utilize the entire gutter width for a maximum water capacity ... especially in heavy rainfalls and in roof valleys of high water concentration. Gutters are made with the backs higher than the front edge, providing the forward slope needed for Raindrop to shed debris. Raindrop’s smooth, sleek surface allows debris to travel to the edge without the chance of getting hung-up on an edge, ridge, flashing or fastener, etc.
