MasterShield® Announces New MicroVortex™ Gutter Protection Technology

RIDGEWOOD, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--MasterShield ® Gutter Protection ( www.mastershield.com ), the long-time leader in the gutter guard industry, announces MicroVortex™ cloth technology, the latest in their line of gutter protection innovations. This recently-patented product update was designed to provide homeowners with the ultimate in gutter protection.

Equipped with the new MicroVortex cloth technology, MasterShield gutter guards will be able to filter more water, more quickly, thanks to a specific calculation of thread size, density, weave and placement in the micromesh filtration cloth.

In addition, MasterShield has updated its HydroVortex™ technology, which assists in improving and increasing the amount of water the gutter guard can take. The combination of MicroVortex and HydroVortex technologies addresses issues of increasing importance to gutter-concerned homeowners, and results in a 25 percent increase in the volume of water which flows into the gutter and a tenfold increase in ability to self-clean the roof oils that leach from asphalt shingles.

Both MicroVortex and HydroVortex technologies were developed by MasterShield founder, inventor, and gutter guard giant Edward “Alex” Higginbotham, who invented the original micromesh filter screen gutter guards in 1999. Micromesh was first submitted for a patent in 2001.

“We turned the gutter protection industry upside down when we announced MasterShield’s micromesh filtration cloth, and we are doing it again with the introduction of this patented MicroVortex technology,” said Higginbotham. “As the leader in gutter guard protection, MasterShield is the ideal long-term investment for every homeowner.”

The “Impossible Cloth”: How does it work?

Cloths and filters have been used as gutter guard screens for years. The conventional usage is to shrink the size of the filter thread openings to block debris or pollutants.

Before Higginbotham, gutter guard gurus taught that a screen with more than 18 threads-per-inch might keep out more debris but would provide inefficient water permeability, causing water to flow on top of the screen rather than down through it and into the gutter. Using a cloth with more than 18 threads-per-inch to effectively channel water into a gutter was deemed impossible.

Leaffilter was developed by Edward A. Higginbotham, LeafFilter™ gutter protection is the only in its industry that can stand behind its “nothing but water – guaranteed” motto.

They’ll throw the scientific facts at you: the principles of surface tension, liquid adhesion, and reverse curves, the concepts on which most gutter protection systems are based. What they don’t say, however, is that most of their designs are merely updated versions of systems originally patented back as early as the 1890′s.

There is a flaw in applying these principles to gutter protection: water draws whatever is in it wherever it flows. Once leaves and debris are saturated by rain, they naturally follow water – right around the curve of these systems and directly into your gutter. The effect is magnified the harder it rains. As a result, they all know their limitations, some even trying to boost their effectiveness with “wide mouths” or oversized downspouts to compensate for the amount of debris they draw into your gutter.

In spite of all their shortcomings, these systems sell because people desperately cling to the hope that they can do something… anything… to stop them from the hassle of cleaning their gutters. Little do people realize how often they wind up trading one gutter problem for another…

Backed by a lifetime money-back warranty, it is easy to see why LeafFilter™ has become the discriminating homeowner’s only choice for top quality, exemplary performance and long term peace of mind.

Its strong siphoning action promotes the self-cleaning properties of LeafFilter™. It washes away spores of pollen, dirt, and gummy or glue-like substances that tend to cover or clog other gutter protection products. Mud, mold, pollen, or even 30 weight engine oil hasn’t clogged this filter! These types of substances often coat other products and cause them to fail.

For example, oil leaches out of roofing shingles and coats gutter covers in products like K-guard. These products eventually lose their water adhesive properties and shoot water over, rather than into, a gutter trough.
