How is Smart Gutter Guard installed?
Smart Gutter Guard is easy to install by any competent person. Simple hand tools are all that is required. Or no tools at all.
The Smart Gutter Guard can be installed in a few different ways. Most preferable ways are:
A. Slide Smart Gutter Guard under the shingles and into the lip of the gutter, hold in place and screw into the lip of the gutter.
B. Slide Smart Gutter Guard under the shingles and onto the lip of the gutter with L on top, hold in place and screw into the lip of the gutter. The L channel is only used for decorative reasons, for example, when a roof line is low and the edge of the Smart Gutter Guard will be visible from the ground.
C. Pre-bend Smart Gutter Guard, place it against the fascia and in the lip of the gutter. This is the only method that doesn’t require screws, but for this method we recommend the use of the installation tool to simplify the job (not required; only
recommended).
D. Pre cut Smart Gutter Guard into sections. Bend one end and slide the opposite side of the bend into the lip of the gutter. Screw the bent side into the fascia.
E. Slide Smart Gutter Guard under roof, against the fascia and on the lip of the gutter, hold in place and screw down to the lip.
