TIRED OF CLEANING OUT GUTTERS? NOW THERE’S A SOLUTION

Let’s be honest, cleaning leaves and other debris out of our gutters can be a pain. And that’s why Sunshine is proud to offer a revolutionary new gutter protection system. Imagine being able to keep the look of your gutters the same, but without ever having to clean them again. Well, that’s what we’re offering. A 100% lifetime no-clog warranty. So you’re probably wondering how it works. Well here’s how.

This system is made of 316 stainless steel mesh. The mesh has millions of holes, each only 50 microns in size. In plain English, that’s smaller than a grain of salt. Which means water can pass through the mesh, but not even a grain of sand will. The gutters get rid of excess water while keeping out leaves and other debris.
