In 1993, after years of intense product research and development, Englert, Inc. introduced the Leafguard® Brand gutter, a patented one-piece leaf and debris shedding gutter system. The Leafguard® Brand system revolutionized the industry, by providing a one-piece system for residential and light commercial applications, with a lifetime, clog-free guarantee, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty on its ScratchGuard® paint finish
Motivated by the realization that the covered gutter industry had yet to produce a viable and effective solution to the problem of clogged gutters, K-Guard, LLC began concept development for the K-Guard Leaf Free Gutter System in 1995. System development began shortly thereafter, and, in 1998, K-Guard earned US Patent #5,845,435 and sealed a contract with the company's first licensed dealer.
In the short time that has followed, the K-Guard Leaf Free Gutter System has quickly earned the reputation of being the premier product in its industry. K-Guard currently has dealers in 30 states and Canada.
