A Unique Technology in The World of Gutter Guards

Brief Summary of Blog Post

Sep 22, 2021
Leaf Relief once again has reinvented the field of gutter guards! After 5 years of research and development, the team has proudly launched a new generation of gutter system that offers even more efficient filtration technologies: the Leaf Relief DuoPro.

A second layer of aluminum that makes all the difference

At first glance, the DuoPro is similar to the famous Leaf Relief Continuous Hanger offering the same strength and durability, but DuoPro has a second layer of perforated aluminum. After dozens of prototypes and hundreds of tests, this innovative and patented design is preferred: two layers of aluminum working hand in hand to increase filtration and reduce the maintenance of your gutters.
Few people know how effective the development of efficient rain gutters is: you have to filter as much as possible while letting the rain pass without the filter clogging! The perfect model would assume that the gutter guard is ultra-strong while removing maintenance. Every homeowner in Savannah affected by gutters clogged with pine needles or sprouts dreams of the day when he or she will definitely be able to put away the ladder, pail and gloves. Leaf Relief DuoPro brings us closer to this reality.

Eclipse™ Microfiltration Technology 

Leaf Relief is the world pioneer, using two perforated aluminum membranes in a gutter guard. The second membrane is able to block access to tapered debris such as pine needles which are often the cause of major obstruction while allowing the viscous substances that cause trouble to flow when the perforations are too fine.

Drainage supported by vortex™ 

But does this second layer of aluminum reduce drainage capacity?
Short answer: NO!
In fact, this second layer of aluminum is so close to the first that a suction effect is created. Water on the surface of the leaf screen is sucked into the perforations of the first layer to drain through the second layer. If you are a scientist at heart, this is called the surface tension and at Leaf Relief it is the Vortex™ effect.
Vortex™ technology, exclusive to Leaf Relief raises the continuous hanging debris guard to the same drainage capacity as other Leaf Relief products, more than twice the amount of rain that has fallen during the largest storm ever recorded (Holt, Missouri, USA, 1947).

A glimmer of hope for nature lovers

Nobody wants to cut a tree because it causes too much gutter maintenance. When testing DuoPro in extreme vegetation zones, the reactions of homeowners who helped us confirmed the physical and even psychological relief that a well-designed product could provide. Their smiles and thanks were worth more than all our scientific results. These are the reactions that motivate the Leaf Relief team to continue to innovate and bring new products to Georgia and around the world!
