WHAT IS LEAFSCREENER?
Leafscreener originated in 1989 when Michael Sichel and Andrew Dash began devising a new leaf barrier system to improve the functioning of gutters under Australian conditions.
The two friends had often observed clogged leaf guards sitting in or on gutters hindering the operation of the very gutters they were meant to help.
After considering and rejecting a number of ideas, Michael and Andrew eventually settled on the notion of attaching a continuous strip of microscreen mesh over both gutter and lower roof which would assist leafy debris to clear while allowing rainwater to enter clean gutters and drain away as intended.
The new concept would also give bushfire ember protection, prevent roof entry by birds, possums and rodents and provide the ultimate assistance for rainwater collection and storage.
The challenge was to make their system reliable, durable and affordable - and get it to work optimally with every type of roof and gutter.
The Australian Design Award they received in 1991 testifies to their success in achieving their goal.
The innovative system was named Leafscreener.
Today, Leafscreener Pty Ltd continues its proud tradition.
