Gutters can be installed on homes with metal roofs, as long as the system is attached to the fascia board with brackets or spikes and ferrules. Some standard gutter systems with attached gutter guards are installed directly onto the roof and roof deck, but this method only works for asphalt roofs and other non-metal roofing systems. Plus, having gutters installed into the fascia board is a more effective installation method, so homeowners with metal roofs can rest assured that they can have durable, secure gutter systems attached to their residence.

Homeowners with metal roofs should be aware of a few things when it comes to having gutters and a gutter protection system installed on their home. First, gutter systems should be mounted as high as possible when part of a metal roofing drainage system. They should also be sloped at a positive slope angle to catch rainwater, as well as snow and ice runoff, so that the water will be transported down the spouts and away from your home.

If you have a metal roof and want to replace your old gutters and gutter guards, consider the BELDON® LeafGuard gutter protection system. It is the only one-piece, seamless gutter protection system in the industry, and it is the only one that remains clog-free – guaranteed. The innovative gutter system is equipped with a debris-shedding hood that deflects leaves, twigs, and other airborne debris away from the gutter basin. This allows rainwater to cascade freely into the gutters, down the spouts, and away from your home. Plus, the BELDON® LeafGuard gutter protection system is installed to the fascia board using durable, non-corrosive brackets, making it a viable option for homes with metal roofs.
