PERTH AMBOY, NJ, NOVEMBER 22, 2005—Englert LeafGuard™, the unique, one-piece patented gutter system that revolutionized the gutter industry with its hood-covered trough, is now available with Scratch-Guard, a high performance coating that delivers architectural style and durability to enhance long lasting performance and appearance of the gutter system.

LeafGuard is the only single-piece system available in the marketplace which draws rainwater down and around the underside of the hood and into the gutter. Its curved hood deflects large debris and even dirt while gravity forces the water to fall into the gutter.

Scratch-Guard has been specially formulated to curtail installation problems associated with metal marking and marring of LeafGuard’s coated surface. It also provides stain resistance, making it easy to maintain. Unlike inferior coatings which may suffer from permanent “tiger striping,” Scratch-Guard allows surface residue to be easily removed with  conventional cleaning solutions and detergents and a clean water rinse. Its unique appearance and architectural styling make it a viable alternative to other more expensive gutter coatings and products.
