Alu-Rex DoublePro & Gutter Clean Pro: High-Performance Protection

When you’re dealing with Alberta’s mix of heavy spring rains, summer hailstorms, and winter "snow slides," your eavestroughs need to be more than just a drainage channel—they need to be a fortress.

At Eavestrough Co., we specialize in the Alu-Rex line because these products are engineered specifically for the Canadian climate. Whether you are installing new gutters or upgrading your current ones, here is how we help you spend less time on a ladder.

1. The Alu-Rex DoublePro: The "Ultimate" for New Gutters

If we are installing a brand-new 5-inch or 6-inch seamless system on your home, the DoublePro is our top recommendation. It is a "Continuous Hanger" system, meaning it doesn't just sit on your gutter—it is the fastening system.

The Benefits:

Microfiltration Dual-Layer: The DoublePro uses two layers of perforated aluminum. The offset holes create a suction effect that can drain massive volumes of water, even during Calgary's heaviest rainstorms.
Pine Needle Protection: The dual-membrane design is one of the only systems on the market that effectively blocks tiny debris like pine needles and shingle grit that typically bypasses standard guards.
Extreme Strength: Because it supports the gutter along its entire length, it can withstand up to 425 lbs per linear foot. This is crucial for homes in De Winton and the Foothills that face heavy snow loads or sliding ice from metal roofs.

2. The Alu-Rex Gutter Clean Pro: The Best for Existing Gutters

If your current eavestroughs are in good shape but you want to stop the "muck" from building up inside, the Gutter Clean Pro is the answer. This is a retrofit system installed directly over your existing gutters.

The Benefits:

Vortex Technology: Patented suction technology pulls water into the gutter while keeping the bulk of leaves and twigs out.
Rollback+ Design: A curved front edge pushes water back into the trough, preventing the "overflow" often seen with flat, cheap guards.
Winter Shield: By keeping snow and ice on top of the guard, the gutter remains clear. When a Chinook hits, the melt-water has an open path to the downspouts instead of freezing into a solid block.

A Note on Maintenance

While these systems are designed to keep your gutters flowing and debris-free internally, we believe in being honest with our neighbors: no system is 100% "no-maintenance."

In our windy Alberta climate, some debris—like pine needles or heavy leaf clusters—may occasionally sit on top of the perforated guard. However, because the debris stays dry on the surface, it usually blows away with the next wind. If anything does persist, a quick brush-off from the ground is all it takes, rather than the dangerous and messy job of scooping sludge out from inside the trough.

Professional Installation for the Foothills

Based right here in De Winton, we understand exactly how to tune these systems for the local environment. Whether we are reinforcing your system for snow or ensuring maximum water flow, we build it to last.
