ABSTRACT:
Gutter protector (10) comprises a profiled sheet (28) that extends over a gutter invert (24A) above a gutter floor (24) for collecting water and debris that would otherwise directly collect in the gutter invert (24A). The gutter protector (10) includes a spacer (30) for spacing adjacent profiled sheets (28) by a first gap (32) that allows water to the substantial exclusion of leaves and debris to fall through the gap (32) into the underlying gutter invert (24A). The profiled sheet (28) includes a planer liquid impervious portion (34) having an outer edge (36) adjacent an outer wall (22) of gutter (12) and an inner edge (38) disposed to lie adjacent or in substantial alignment with a lower edge (40) of a roof covering (18). A channel (48) is disposed adjacent to and extends along the inner edge (38) of planar portion (34). Channel (48) has a base (50) below the planar portion and a first wall (52) that extends between the base (50) and inner edge (38). The first wall (52) is provided with a plurality of holes (54) and a series of spaced apart ribs (56). A second wall (60) extends upwardly from the opposite side of channel (48) and sits inside inner wall (20) of the gutter (12).
