Leaf Relief® DuoPro Microfiltration Continuous Hanger
Take advantage of the most advanced technology on the gutter market with the Leaf Relief® DuoPro. The dual-layer microfiltration continuous hanger strikes an ideal balance, offering maximum drainage and debris filtration. The Leaf Relief® DuoPro only lets through what should be carried off by the gutter system: fine dust particles, pollen, and (of course) rainwater. As an added bonus, it provides extra support because it runs the entire length of the gutter.
The double membrane keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.
The suction created by the two membranes makes it possible to drain three times more water than ever recorded in the heaviest storms. The inner membrane draws water through the wider holes.

Leaf Relief® Continuous Hanger
Most technological innovations in the gutter industry involve fastening and protection systems. The Leaf Relief® Continuous Hanger has gradually replaced hanging systems that use nails and spaced hangers. A continuous fastener like the Leaf Relief® Continuous Hanger is strong along the entire length, offering better support to keep the gutter from being warped or torn off due to heavy accumulations of snow and ice. This product also offers protection against leaves, samaras (helicopters), tennis balls, and other objects that can block your gutters.
FAQ
Let’s Talk Gutters
Continuous hanger, what is it?
• Take a rain gutter with spaced hangers.
• Add hundreds of hangers
• Get the same kind of strength with the a continuous hanger
Which Leaf Relief® products should I choose if I have problems with pine needles?
The Leaf Relief® DuoPro keeps debris from getting inside the gutter. The offset holes make it the perfect filter, allowing water to drain freely while blocking pine needles and leaves without ever getting clogged.
Do wet leaves stick to Leaf Relief® products?
Only temporarily. Leaf Relief® products boast a smooth, perforated surface. Just as they may temporarily stick to the hood of your car, leaves and debris that land on the surface of Leaf Relief® products dry quickly in the sun. And unlike your car hood, the surface of your gutter is perforated so they dry faster!
A little wind is all it takes to sweep away dry leaves and debris:
- A 10 km/h wind effectively removes wet leaves and about 100 pine needles per linear foot.
- A 37 km/h wind can remove about an inch (2.5 cm) of pine needles per linear foot
How do Leaf Relief® products stand up to snow?
Leaf Relief® products significantly reduce the weight of snow on your gutters. Since snow can’t get into the gutters, the weight they must carry is limited to that which accumulates on top of Leaf Relief® products. Furthermore, the gutters remain fully functional so water from melting snow and ice can drain away freely.
Without Leaf Relief® products, the gutters already clogged with leaves and debris fill up with snow and ice, which keeps them from doing their job and draining water away in spring. Additionally, they have to support more weight.
Do Leaf Relief® products increase ice formation?
Leaf Relief® products prevent the formation of ice. If icicles form at the edge of the roof, we recommend that you check whether the attic is well ventilated and insulated properly.
Can the installation of Leaf Relief® products create leaks in my roof?
No. Leaf Relief® Products do not cause any leaks. No shingles are raised and no nails or screws go into the roof during installation.
Beware of look-alike products that require you to lift the shingles. These products can lead to leaks. In time, the asphalt shingles dry out and become brittle. It’s never a good idea to lift shingles when installing gutter protections systems, whether they’re nailed in, screwed on, or simply set in place.
Also, the manufacturer’s warranty on asphalt shingles is void if the shingles are lifted, peeled away, or modified.
Can Leaf Relief® products withstand heavy water flow?
How? Because wet leaves remain permeable. Water still gets between the leaves allowing it to drain into the gutter. Water will always find its way into the holes.
Additionally, the exclusive design of Leaf Relief® products features an approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) deep basin. Testing in the lab and in the field has shown this to be the right depth to catch more water without stopping the wind from doing its job of sweeping away leaves, pine needles, and debris from the surface.
Beware of look-alike products that are completely flat. Water can overflow when products are not equipped with a basin.
What is the maximum weight my gutter can support when fastened with a continuous hanger system?
The maximum weight your gutter can support with a continuous hanger system is at least 250 lb per linear foot (373 kg per linear meter). That’s 50% stronger than with spikes or hangers.
What is the point of using a Leaf Relief® continuous hanger if there are no trees near my home?
It may seem unnecessary to use a continuous hanger system if there are no trees around your home. But the continuous hanger’s main strengths are its robustness, strength, durability, and quality.
With a continuous hanger, your gutters will be stronger and more durable than any others. New trees may grow… and your gutters will still be in perfect condition after 25, 30, and even 40 years! People who buy the DuoPro or the continuous hanger system want what’s best for their gutters, just as they do for their doors, windows, and all other components of their home.
Why is Leaf Relief® continuous hanger system better than spikes, screws, and hangers?
Spikes, screws, and hangers provide a certain degree of strength, but only over a few inches to either side of them. The spaces between the spikes/screws/hangers are weak.
With a continuous hanger, your gutter is equally solid across its entire length. There are no weak spots.
What’s the difference between Leaf Relief’s DuoPro, Continuous Hanger or Classic products?
The Leaf Relief® Classic is an gutter protection system that prevents leaves and debris from getting in and clogging the existing gutter. This product is simply placed on your home’s existing gutters.
The Leaf Relief® Continous Hanger for new gutters that securely fastens gutters to your home, making them 50% stronger than traditional systems.
Like the Leaf Relief® Continuous Hanger, the Leaf Relief® DuoPro is a continuous hanger system that reinforces the gutters. Its microfiltration dual-layer provides complete protection for even fine debris such as pine needles.
Do Leaf Relief® products require maintenance?
Leaf Relief® products are among the most efficient gutter protection systems on the market today.
In the vast majority of cases, a light breeze is enough to sweep away normal debris. In areas under the roof or under shallow overhangs on sloped roofs, debris may build up where the wind cannot reach it.
We recommend that you occasionally clean out these areas to keep your Leaf Relief® products in good working conditions.
Aren’t metal grills or plastic mesh enough for my home?
The openings in these products are much too large. Debris can get inside, leaves get stuck, which can clog the gutters and turn into fertile soil for plants to grow in. These products are also not rigid, so they bend under snow and ice.
In short, these products will still force you to periodically climb a ladder to clear out your gutters
