Install the Right Screen for Standard Debris with Hallett Regular Hole Gutter Screens
Share
Match the Screen to the Debris Load and Speed Up the Job
For many installs the debris load is routine, leaves, small branches, pine needles, not ultra‑fine particles or heavy seed pods. That’s where the Hallett Regular Hole Gutter Screen fits best. The 5/16″‑or‑less openings block larger debris while maintaining high water capacity. These screens come in 4‑ft long sections, covering 100′ per carton (25 panels), simplifying inventory and install planning on-site.
Contractor‑Ready Design That Installs Fast and Performs All Year
-
Comes in both 5″ and 6″ widths to match standard K‑style gutter systems—order the width that matches the run.
-
Panels are made from powder‑coated 22‑gauge galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
-
Two fit‑options available in installation: Regular (flat) design for clear header runs, and a Step‑Down design where hanger screw‑heads or clip protrusions might interfere. The Step‑Down version allows the screen to sit slightly higher and avoid write‑ups on exposed hardware.
-
Compression‑fit installation. The screen is pressed against the gutter’s inside channel above the hanger and then popped over the outer lip via the case‑style lip, providing a tight fit.
-
Each carton includes 25 pieces (4‑ft each) delivering 100′ of coverage. This predictable order quantity helps you quote and stock accurately.
Installation Workflow & Best Practices
1. Confirm gutter width. Use the 5″ or 6″ version based on your system.
2. Choose panel style. If you have protruding hanger screws, go with the Step‑Down version to avoid interference.
3. Install at hanger spacing. Place panels so the case‑style lip presses against the outer gutter channel, ensuring full engagement.
4. Seal seams and ends. Even though debris may be managed, always seal the butt‑joints and end‑caps to prevent water intrusion.
5. Stock efficiently. Order cartons of 25 panels and keep the clear inventory for typical residential work. A single carton covers a 100′ run.
FAQs for Install Teams
Q: Does this handle pine needles and large debris?
Yes, the less‑than‑5/16″ openings block many standard debris items. If you’re in heavy seed‑pod or pine‑needle zones you may want to consider finer mesh options.
Q: Can I install this over existing gutters?
Yes. The compression‑fit design works with standard K‑style systems and installs without needing bracket removal or structural modification.
Q: Should I buy the flat or Step‑Down version?
If you see hanger screws protruding or you’re working under clip‑type hangers, choose the Step‑Down version for smoother installs. If everything is flush, the Regular version suffices.
Q: Color matching or finish options?
The powder‑coated finish ensures durability and looks clean once installed. Match the panel width to your gutter system and ensure the color or profile fits your job specifications.
