How Does Alu-Rex Handle Pine and Fir Needles in My Gutters?

DoublePro® Continuous Hanger™ filled with pine needles

Many homes are surrounded by coniferous trees, leading to frequent gutter clogs caused by fallen needles. Fortunately, Alu-Rex two-layer products provide highly effective protection against such obstructions, even in areas with heavy needle accumulation.

Preventing Gutter Clogs from Pine and Fir Needles

If your property is near coniferous trees, the key to maintaining clear gutters is ensuring the downspouts remain unclogged. To achieve this, install a dual-layer microfiltration system like the DoublePro® or HoverPro® from Alu-Rex. Their built-in Eclipse Technology effectively blocks fine debris, including pine and fir needles.

While some debris may accumulate on top of the system, this does not impact performance. Wind will naturally clear away most debris over time. In extreme cases, occasional gutter maintenance may be required to ensure optimal efficiency.
