Three solutions for new gutters
Ladder to Valley Eavestrough offers and installs seamless 5 and 6-inch eavestroughs, built with premium quality aluminum. Each installation starts with a thorough inspection of your fascia, roof border and soffit. We do this to avoid having unpleasant surprises once the installation begins. Additionally, we offer a wide variety of colours.
There are different types of fasteners for eavestroughs and you will find important information about them on this page.
Gutter Installation and hanging systems
Benefits of a continuous hangertm system
Attaches eavestrough to the house
Installed with hangers
Aluminum hangers are installed every 16 or 18 inches. Hangers are screwed to the fascia board, to the back of the gutters.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
The continuous hanger™ system is installed across the entire length of the eavestrough.
It is screwed into the fascia board at the back of the eavestrough, and hung inside the front of them, across the entire length.
Invisible from the ground
Installed with hangers
Eavestroughs installed with spaced hangers are invisible from the ground but are weak because hangers are attached every 16 or 18 inches.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
The continuous hanger™ system cannot be seen from the ground and is much stronger than traditional installation with spaced hangers. This improves the overall appearance of your house.
Won’t rust over time – made of aluminum
Installed with hangers
Hangers made of aluminum will not rust.
They are fastened to your house every 16 to 18 inches across the entire length of your rain gutters.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
The T-Rex® continuous hanger™ system is made of aluminum: that means no rust! Your eavestroughs will be very strongly fastened to your home for better protection.
DoublePro™ is a dual-action gutter protection system. It is built to stand up to the worst weather conditions in Canada and keep your gutter free of ice and debris year after year.
Supports 250 lb per linear foot (weight of snow and ice)
Installed with hangers
As the hangers are installed every 16 or 18 inches, the gutters are not strong enough to support the weight of accumulated snow or ice.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
Newly installed eavestroughs are 50% more robust than other types. Why is that? A continuous hanger™ system allows eavestroughs to stay strong since they are attached across their entire length, leaving no weak points. The system can support up to 250 pounds per linear foot.
It eliminates all risk of warping due to the weight of a ladder, or pressure from branches, snow or ice.
Ensures that eavestroughs remains functional during winter*
Installed with hangers
Installed with a continuous hanger™
This type of fastener lets snow and ice into eavestroughs. But when they’re full of ice and snow, they can’t funnel water to the downspout when the weather warms up.
Your rain gutters remain fully functional since neither snow nor ice can enter or clog them.
Water can drain freely through your downspouts to protect your house from major damage.
*No system can prevent ice from forming on the roofs of poorly insulated or poorly ventilated houses. However, the T-Rex® or the DoublePro™ will prevent eavestrough warping caused by the weight or movement of ice.
Protects eavestroughs against damage caused by a ladder*
Installed with hangers
Installed with a continuous hanger™
If you lean a ladder against a gutter between the hangers where there are weak points, it might damage your new eavestrough.
Note that damaged eavestroughs cannot be repaired.
The T-Rex® or the DoublePro are continuous eavestrough fastening systems. They have no weak points. They can support the weight of a ladder without damaging your new gutters, since the weight is evenly distributed across the entire length of the installation.
*Alu-Rex reminds you to always ensure ladders are firmly secured at the base and at the top.
Prevents water from infiltrating the fascia board
Installed with hangers
Rainwater can seep through your eavestroughs installed with hangers. Over time, it can rot the fascia board of your home. Repairing fascia boards can be very expensive.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
Since continuous hanger™ systems are sealed with gasketed screws, there is no risk of water damage to the fascia board.
Keeps eavestroughs from warping over time
Installed with hangers
Since snow and ice can accumulate inside your rain gutters, your installation will warp over time.
Note that warped gutters cannot be repaired.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
When you opt for a continuous hanger™ system, neither snow nor ice can enter, let alone accumulate in your eavestroughs. There is no danger of warping.
Extends durability of sealant and prevents early leakage
Installed with hangers
Gutters installed with hangers let the sun’s UV rays through, which dry out the sealant. Eventually the sealant cracks, causing leaks in the corners.
Installed with a continuous hanger™
The T-Rex® or the DoublePro continuous hanger™ system block over 50% of UV rays, so they can’t reach the sealant and cause cracks. Protected from the sun, the sealant stays watertight, which means no leaks in the corners!
Includes a free built-in gutter guard*
Installed with hangers
Installed with a continuous hanger™
As these systems allow debris to clog eavestroughs (e.g. birds' nests, leaves, tennis balls and branches), the downspouts can clog, resulting in water overflow. Your house would then suffer major damage.
The T-Rex® continuous hanger™ system or DoublePro™ are ultra-strong eavestrough installations, preventing overflows and water damage to your home.
*In most cases, the wind blows debris off the T-Rex® or the DoublePro™ surface. When wind doesn't do the job, simply brush off the product's surface. Please note that even if the surface is covered with debris, water can get through and into the gutter without overflowing.
