2. The Contractor method is to use a 10” or 12” chop saw using a 45 tooth to 90 tooth carbide tip saw blade. Firmly
& carefully hold the gutter guard and SLOWLY cut downward in the center of the mesh/screen and finish by cutting
through the rear and front rails. Wear safety eye protection.
Pro-Tip: If possible, when cutting the screen, leave it ½” longer than the frame (to fold down and make an end-seam)
Installing Snap & Fit. First install the outside corners/miters and inside corners/miters (if any). Then install the sections
between the miters and end of the gutters, starting at the miter area and working toward the end of the gutter.
Method 1: When the roof shingle overhang is short (less than 3/4”), first install the Snap & Fit C-Rail on the front lip (A),
then pull the Y-Rail toward the front rail (curving the screen upward slightly) while putting the Y-Rail under the roof shingle
overhang (B) , and then letting the Y-Rail fit back to the rear of the gutter or fascia board.
Method 2: When the roof shingle overhang is long (greater than 3/4”), first install the Snap & Fit Y-Rail on the back (B) of
the gutter & fascia board. Then put the Snap & Fit C-Rail on the front lip (A) by push back on the C-Rail (curving the screen
upward slightly) to allow the C-Rail to fit on the front lip of the gutter. Visit www.gutterguardinstallations.com for details.
Installing Outside or Inside miter cuts:
1. Draw a Straight line across the entire Gutter Guard width where you want to cut (use a Sharpie marker is best).
2. Cut front Rail first, then Cut back Rail second, then Cut the mesh screen to finish.
Pro-Tip: when cutting the screen, leave it ½” longer than the frame (to fold down and make an end-seam)
End cap installation To make “end-caps” or cap the ends of the gutter guard at the end of a gutter.
1. Cut 2 inches off both the front and back Rails only, leaving 2” of the screen only, then fold the mesh downward at 90
degrees then install the gutter guard with the screen trimmed to fit as the end cap.
2. The best results for endcap installs is to not have a gap at all, seal up all gaps with silicone. This will stop bees, wasps and
other insects from the gutters.
