Description

US Gutter Guards


US gutter guard demand is forecast to grow 1.3% annually to 360.1 million linear feet in 2027. While this rate of growth is relatively slow, it will be somewhat faster than gutters themselves, and it follows elevated levels of gutter guard demand in 2020 and 2021 and a subsequent moderation sales in 2022. Going forward, gains will be primarily supported by an increase in residential improvement and repair activity in the latter part of the forecast period.

In value terms, demand is expected to grow 3.0% annually to $1.1 billion, supported by rising prices for metal gutter guards, which account for the majority of gutter guard sales.

Versatility & Ease of Use Support Demand for Plastic Gutter Guards


In real terms, plastic gutter guards will continue to increase in popularity and will account for nearly 25% of absolute gutter gard gains, boosted by their:
  • versatility, as they are available in all three product types and can be used with any gutter material
  • light weight, making them popular among homeowners partaking in DIY installations
Real demand for plastic gutter guards will also be supported by their low price compared to aluminum or steel gutter guards, which makes them more attractive to homeowners looking to limit the cost of their gutter guard installations.

Meshes & Screens to Remain Most Popular Gutter Guard Product


Meshes and screens will remain the most popular type of gutter guard, accounting for nearly half of all gutter guard demand in linear feet terms. Meshes and screens will maintain their share of the market due to their light weight – which makes them easy to handle and install – and their wide availability in a broad range of sizes and shapes, so consumers can generally find a design that can fit on top of their gutters.

Rainwater Harvesting & Wildfire Codes Serve as Opportunities for Gutter Guard Sales


Rainwater harvesting – which involves the collection and storage of rain – has become increasingly popular in parts of the US that are prone to drought or have issues with poor water quality. Gutter guards can serve a crucial role in this process, straining out leaves and other debris before the water is diverted into storage systems such as rain barrels.

Wildfire codes in some US states also offer opportunities for gutter guards. For example, both California and Colorado require that flammable debris be kept out of gutters. While the codes do not mandate gutter guard usage, these products offer a safer and – over the lifespan of the product – less expensive means of keeping gutters clean when compared to DIY gutter cleaning or the use of a gutter cleaning service.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
