CARE & MAINTENANCE

VersaScreen Gutter Protection is one of the most effective gutter protection systems available today for residential and commercial applications. In most cases, dry debris is removed with wind as low as 10 miles per hour. If debris is wet or compressed, a minimum wind of 20 mph may be required. It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure proper debris removal from the top of the VersaScreen Gutter Protection to keep it working properly. All debris should be removed from eaves and valleys and other areas where the roof ice prevention system is installed each fall prior to snowfall for proper functioning of the system.
