Leaf Mesh Gutter Guard Construction
What’s it made of?
Leaf Mesh by Tapex ?is exclusively manufactured to our specifications for Australian conditions. The mesh is 100% virgin high quality extra heavy duty polyethylene (~900gsm). It is UV stabilised, and specially designed to maximise water collection and is completely safe.
LeafShield (or Leaf Mesh) has proven to be the most durable and effective method of protecting your gutters and drainpipes from blockages, as well as stopping unwanted intrusion from birds and vermin etc.
As mentioned above Leafshield’s gutter guard is made from a high density, Industrial Grade Polyethylene 2.2mm thick with construction holes approx 3.0mm by 5.0 mm across.
The mesh is UV stabilised to give you an estimated 15-20 years of maintenance free service under the harsh Australian sun.
Leaf Shield, Gutter Leaf Protection is 100% Australian made and owned with the mesh manufactured by Tapex Pty. Ltd. a wholly Australian owned and operated company. All angles, clips etc used in fitting the mesh to the roof or gutters are made in Australia from BHP Colorbond steel.
It fits most roof types and gives gutters an elegant streamlined look.
Do I need to maintain Leafmesh?
No!!! That’s the best part – the Leafshield system is self cleaning in most situations.
It’s rugged polyethylene construction means that it will not rust or cause electrolysis (oxidisation) and is therefore maintenance free.
How Does Leafshield Look
Often it can’t be seen. It comes in a range of colours to blend into your roof.
