Fire-Rated Gutter Screens & Guards — Protect Your Eaves in Wildfire Zones

Gutter covers or screens designed with materials and designs that resist ember intrusion and ignition. They keep leaves, needles, and debris out while allowing water flow, and help block burning embers from catching on gutter debris.

• Embers during wildfires often land in gutter debris and ignite homes
• Many local codes, insurance incentives, and fire agencies encourage gutter protection
• Some regional roof contractors and fire-hardening services promote these as part of “home hardening”

• Metal mesh covers with ember-resistant ratings
• Slot-style or narrow-mesh designs to reject debris
• Hidden gutter guard systems
• Custom-fabricated solutions for complex eaves or roof lines

1. Inspect existing gutters (check for damage, pitch, capacity)
2. Clean gutters thoroughly
3. Install ember-resistant gutter screen/guard
4. Seal edges, integrate with flashings
