Alu-Rex is once again redefining the gutter guard industry. After five years of dedicated research and development, the team is proud to introduce a new generation of continuous hanger technology featuring next-level filtration performance: the DoublePro®.
A Second Layer of Aluminum That Changes Everything
At first glance, the DoublePro® looks a lot like the trusted T-Rex®, offering the same exceptional durability and strength. However, it sets itself apart with a second perforated aluminum layer. After testing dozens of prototypes and hundreds of performance trials, this patented and innovative dual-layer design emerged as the ultimate solution for maximizing filtration and reducing gutter maintenance.
Designing a high-performance gutter guard isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. It must let rainwater in while keeping out as much debris as possible—without clogging. The ideal model is ultra-strong and essentially maintenance-free. For homeowners constantly battling clogged gutters due to pine needles or samaras, DoublePro® is a major step toward finally putting away the ladder, bucket, and gloves for good.
Eclipse™ Microfiltration Technology
Alu-Rex is a global pioneer in incorporating two perforated aluminum membranes into a single gutter guard. The second membrane acts as a shield against thin, tapered debris like pine needles—one of the most common causes of severe blockages. At the same time, it allows viscous substances to flow through freely, avoiding the clogging that finer perforations often cause. With Eclipse™ Technology, even these persistent seasonal intruders are no match for the DoublePro®.
Drainage Supported by Vortex™
Does this second layer affect drainage performance?
Short answer: Not at all.
In fact, the layers are positioned so closely together that they create a suction effect. Rainwater clings to the surface and is pulled through the top layer’s perforations, then drains efficiently through the second layer, a phenomenon also known as surface tension. At Alu-Rex, we call this the Vortex™ effect.
Vortex™ Technology, exclusive to Alu-Rex, delivers drainage performance equal to the company’s other top products—capable of handling over twice the rainfall from the heaviest storm ever recorded (Holt, Missouri, 1947).
A Glimmer of Hope for Nature Lovers
No one wants to cut down a beautiful tree simply because it creates too much gutter maintenance. When DoublePro® was field-tested in heavy vegetation zones, homeowner feedback confirmed not only the physical convenience of the product but also its emotional impact. A well-engineered solution can truly bring peace of mind. Those smiles and thank-yous mean more to the Alu-Rex team than any lab result.
That’s the inspiration that keeps us innovating—and sharing our technology with homeowners across Canada and around the globe.
