Can Shingle Granules Clog My Gutters?

If you have older asphalt shingles, it's natural to worry about the impact of shingle granules on your gutters, especially whether they could cause blockages. However, with the DoublePro®, T-Rex® or Gutter Clean System® from Alu-Rex, this is almost never a concern

Gutter Protection Products with Perfectly Sized Perforations

The DoublePro®, T-Rex® and Gutter Clean System® are designed with precisely sized holes that maintain an optimal balance between effective water drainage and protection from small debris. As a result, most shingle granules stay on top of the gutter protection system, while smaller debris falls through the perforations. Since the gutters are clear of other debris, the granules are easily washed away during heavy rainfall.

Shingle Granules Are Easily Swept Away by the Wind

Rest assured—shingle granules don’t stick around long on top of Alu-Rex products. A single gust of wind is enough to blow them away. Even if 80% of the perforations were somehow blocked (which is highly unlikely), the water drainage would still be sufficient to handle the largest rainfall recorded in Canada.
