Tek-Mesh ends the hassle of plugged rain gutters
Tek-Mesh puts an end to the clogging and cleaning of rain gutters — permanently. It is a robust aluminum micro-screen gutter protection system that allows water to flow through, while keeping leaves, pine needles, tiny berries, and maple seeds out of the gutter. TekMesh also blocks bees, wasps, birds and rodents from getting into this drainage system, thanks to its use of 1.5-millimetre drainage holes that let water and nothing else pass through. Meanwhile, the screen’s raised five-millimetre ridges and rounded edge helps to shed debris cleanly onto the ground, preventing blockages from occurring.
You can even put an approved heating wire in the front crevice of Tek-Mesh and gutter, to ensure year-round debris-free drainage and reduction of icicles.
“I invented Tek-Mesh to provide the ultimate in durable, easy-toinstall and reliable rain gutter protection,” said Mark Fryml, president of KEMF Inc. “This ultimate gutter protector will handle any volume of water that your gutter can handle, and you will have peace of mind knowing that your gutters are completely protected.”
Tek-Mesh is designed to be installed/siliconed under the first row of shingles, and clipped onto the lip of the gutter. For an even more solid installation, Tek-Mesh may also be screwed down to the roof and/or fascia; the latter being possible on shingle-less gravel or membrane roofs. This gutter protection system is available in 10 colours to match the colour of the gutters or the roof, and comes in five-foot lengths.
“Tek-Mesh is not painted but anodized in order to make the colours permanent and weather-proof,” Fryml said.
KEMF’s Tek-Mesh gutter protection system is available at the company’s website (www.tekmesh. through various Canadian distributors listed, as well as throughout North America at www.brookstone.com. The company is currently seeking additional distributors; enquiries can be made through www.kemf.ca.
“The motto of KEMF — and our mission — is ‘Life Simplified’,” Fryml said. “Tek-Mesh is a perfect example of our philosophy in action. With this product, your rain gutters will remain free and clear year-round, and you won’t ever have to climb up on a ladder to clean away debris. Time is valuable, and so is your home. Protect it.”
