Leaf Terminator ® was invented and manufactured by the same company as Gutter Topper ®. As flexible as Gutter Topper ® is to install, there are some situations that have challenges. Leaf Terminator ® was created specifically to meet these challenging situations.
Tough, intelligently designed and versatile, The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard protects your gutters from leaves and debris. It’s the only gutter solution that can combat clogs like these and still hold up under the harshest weather conditions.
With The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard’s patented perforation pattern and preformed ridges and valleys, water flows easily into your gutters. Debris won’t enter your gutters because The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard attaches to your gutters and forms a protective cover that actually strengthens your gutter system.
The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard saves you money on roof maintenance and ends unnecessary and dangerous work on gutter clogs.
The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard passed the most stringent testing standards in the country. PRI Construction Material Technologies performed its testing to Miami-Dade County standards with the following results for The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard:

The Leaf Terminator ® is designed to keep you off the roof and end dangerous, messy gutter cleaning jobs.
“I spent years bending and shaping metal to find a design that would not blow off in heavy wind or collapse under the weight of snow or debris,” said Tony Iannelli, the inventor of the Leaf Terminator® gutter guard. Tony’s son, Mick Iannelli, now runs the family-owned and operated Gutter Covers International.
With The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard’s patented perforated water-handling design, you can keep your gutters clean and prevent costly damage to your building’s walls, foundation, and landscaping. The perforations in The Leaf Terminator ® gutter guard are engineered to keep out large and small debris, yet still maintain an effective water flow due to the patented staggered pattern.
Smart engineering makes Leaf Terminator ® the green answer to maintaining the trees around your home – and that increases your home’s value.
Many homeowners see gutters as a very simple check box for a house, with one gutter installer being much like another. That’s simply not true! Besides the talent of the installers, there are many very practical details that can be done well or badly. At Sunrise Seamless, every component is thought out and chosen with intention to give you the highest quality installation. Here are just a few examples:
Seamless eavestrough means no seams! If you have a sixty-foot house, you’ll have a sixty-foot section of gutter. The only exception is if your eavestrough turns a corner; they haven’t figured out how to make a seamless corner. However, we have developed a system for installing and sealing corners that we guarantee against leaking for five years.
Our seamless eavestrough is made from .027”aluminum with a tough baked enamel finish. Over 40 colors are available as well as copper.
Standard house eavestrough utilizes 5” gutters with 2”x3” downspouts. For heavy water locations we can include 3”x4” downspouts.
We can make and install 6″ seamless eavestrough, for the extra large home or commercial building. Although it is only an inch wider it is also an inch deeper and can hold approximately forty percent more rain than 5” seamless eavestrough.
We use a heavy-duty, hidden hanger system with a 3” galvanized screw. Compare these against the “economy” hangers.
Heavy-duty aluminum for durability
3″ zinc coated screw for secure installation
1 1/4″ wide for strength
Cheap hangers are flimsy and can be bent and even broken by hand.
We also use color-coordinated, rust free, aluminum rivets. Most competitors use galvanized screws that rust after two to five years.
Screws are quicker to install, but prone to rust, can easily strip and become loose, and often stick into the downspout providing a point where leaves and twigs can get stuck and start a clog.
There is no better gutter protection system on the market. Period.
Gutter Topper ®, with its patented design, is the most effective, efficient system available. Gutter Topper ® has been independently tested to:
Resist winds of up to 110 mph (Miami-Dade County standards, the strictest in the United States). See how it withstood an F-2 tornado.
Handle downpours of up to 22 inches per hour or 528 inches per day – that’s enough water to float Noah’s Ark.
Withstand weights of up to 1,200 lbs. per sq. ft.
So it’s tough and it’s beautiful. Gutter Topper’s ® patented design gives it a smooth silhouette that enhances your roof line. And it’s available in a wide range of colors to blend with the colors of your shingles and gutters.
The Eleven Critical Bends Of Strength
Only Gutter Topper ® is made of heavy-duty aluminum and crafted with the eleven critical bends of strength. That’s why Gutter Topper ® can handle all of Mother Nature’s worst: troublesome animals, blizzards, tornadoes, and even a category 4 hurricane.
Those eleven critical bends work hard to keep your home protected and damage free. No wonder when it pours, Gutter Topper ® reigns?
The key to Gutter Topper’s ® amazing ability to handle water and repel leaves and debris is found in the science of its patented design.
Water clings to the surface on which it travels. This ‘surface tension’ causes the water to cling to Gutter Topper’s ® rounded ‘nose’. The water literally follows the curve of the nose and is deposited in the slots at the bottom of the system. (Your Gutter Topper ® retailer will be glad to demonstrate this on a section of Gutter Topper ® using water from the faucet in your sink. You almost have to see it to believe it. Every drop goes where it belongs. Not one drop goes astray.)
Leaves and debris, on the other hand, won’t follow the curve. They’ll remain on Gutter Topper’s ® flat surface and blow harmlessly to the ground once they dry out.
Gutter Topper’s ® patented Ice Release System keeps ice from building up in your gutter and pulling the gutter away from the house.
We’re so confident of your new Gutter Topper® protection system, that we back it with a Lifetime Warranty, that’s transferable to new owners if you decide to sell your home.
