	"An unexpected bonus is the soothing sound that rainwater makes as it flows over the Gutter Helmet and then through the gutters and downspouts. It sounds like a gentle fountain instead of a gushing river. So, we sleep better."

What is Snap-Lock?
Snap-Lock is a revolutionary gutter attachment system available to homeowners only through authorized Gutter Helmet dealers. The system consists of a specially designed truss & bracket that allows gutters and rain gutter guards to be “snapped” into place on the fascia. The gutters are stronger and can handle more weight but literally “float” in place.

What are the Benefits?
Before Snap-Lock, every gutter in the United States was attached to the fascia with nails, spikes or screws. When holes were made into the back of the gutter or leaf filter gutter protection system with these obsolete fasteners - water could be unintentionally introduced into the fascia area. The holes in the wood fascia - into which these attachments were originally driven were constantly wet.

Damage That Can Follow

Eventually the strength of each fastener would become compromised by the deadly combination of wetness, weakness, rot and weight (of ice and snow in the gutter). In time, without intervention, every gutter will come loose and eventually fall off the house.

Expansion, Contraction, & Ventilation...
Another problem long associated with gutters and gutter attachment disappears when using Snap-Lock gutter systems. Most homeowners would be surprised to learn that a long gutter will actually grow and shrink an inch or more as temperatures vary. This wreaks havoc on fasteners - causing them to weaken and come loose. Rain gutter guards and Gutters are unable to expand and contract because they are “pinned” down will buckle and “pucker” between adjacent fasteners. Snap-Lock allows gutters to expand and contract normally. Additionally, corner and endcap seams are not stressed by movement and don’t develop leaks. Finally, Snap-Lock is the only product that provides ventilation behind the gutter. Condensation can lead to black mold growth and accelerated rot of the fascia board.

*When crimped on the back of the gutter, the SnapLock BRACKET acts as a support device
for installation into our SnapLock TRUSS. This provides support and allows ventilation
behind the gutter, eliminating moisture buildup, preventing fascia board rot.
