Gutter Guards / Gutter Apron
Poor roofing job done in Aug. Remove and replace end of this month. Can someone tell me the difference between gutter apron and gutter guards? Should I use both? Is one better than the other and if so why? Thanks

Gutter Guards / Gutter ApronQuote:
Gutter guards are used to keep leaves out of your gutters. You NEED gutter apron, you don't need gutter guards.

Gutter Guards / Gutter Apron
"Drip edge" is another term for "gutter apron" -
as "paragon exteriors" says. It's a metal transition between the roof surface and the fascia - or into the gutter. It can be aluminum, galvanized metal, copper. It is also used as an edge up the gables on a roof - sloped areas. rossfingal |
