Mastershield Gutter Protection

Description

ABOUT MASTERSHIELD GUTTER PROTECTION ® "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." - Steve Jobs MasterShield Gutter Protection ® is manufactured by the industry innovator in gutter guards. In 1999, frustrated by traditional gutter guards that just didn't work, Alex Higginbotham invented a revolutionary new method of protective water management for gutters: a self-cleaning gutter guard. He was awarded his first patent in 2001 and had his first commercial success with LeafFilter™, which was named to Building Product Magazine's Annual Top 100 List for 2003 and 2004. The Twenty Advancements in Gutter Guards The original 1908 US patent for this popular gutter guard. 100 years later, it still doesn't keep out all debris. Higginbotham has continued to advance and refine his technology. He analyzed and tested countless fabric membranes and determined that there were key features that caused certain configurations to pull water through better than others. Through his research and innovation he created one of only twenty documented advancements in the field of gutter protection, as recognized by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), since gutter covers were first patented in 1884 (there are over 500 patents in this field, but all are derived from what was learned through these twenty advancements). Most of the other advancements are now in the public domain or just weren't commercially viable; Higginbotham's is the only viable technology still patent protected. Higginbotham's research ultimately led him to produce the first gutter guard to ever feature stainless steel in any part of its design (our microfilter), and with the ideal combination of water filtration, water flow and self cleaning properties. Four US and multiple international patents later (and with several patents pending), his micro-filtration technology has culminated in MasterShield Gutter Protection ®. There is no other gutter cover technology with the sweat equity and research that has been put into MasterShield. It looks like a solid surface, but the millions of holes in our system keep out all debris.
