Description
Keep debris out and installs smooth—even where roof edges are tight. Ultra Flo Regular Hole Step Down combines a proven, high-flow perforation pattern with a subtle step-down profile that boosts rigidity and helps clear shingle/drip-edge details for a flatter, cleaner fit. Each 4-ft black panel slides under the shingle edge and fastens to the gutter lip, blocking leaves and larger debris while preserving strong water throughput on standard K-style systems. Built for year-round exposure, it resists corrosion, UV, heat, and cold—so your gutters stay clear with fewer cleanouts.
Features
-
Step-down profile for cleaner installs: Added stiffness and roof-edge clearance reduce oil-canning and improve alignment on long runs.
-
Regular-hole filtration: Classic perforation sheds leaves and larger debris while maintaining high flow in heavy rain.
-
Low-profile, rigid panel: Sleek black finish “disappears” from the curb and resists sag across wide spans.
-
4-ft sections for productivity: Lightweight handling, fewer seams, faster layout and fastening on ladders/lifts.
-
Slide-under mounting: Rear edge tucks under shingle/drip edge; front secures to gutter lip or fascia with exterior-rated fasteners.
-
Sized for K-style systems: Available in widths to match 5", 6", and 7" K-style gutters.
-
All-weather durability: Corrosion-resistant construction with UV and temperature tolerance for year-round use.
-
Maintenance reducer: Simple seasonal brush/blow-off keeps performance high; helps prevent clogs, overflow, and fascia staining.

FAQs
Q: What does the “Step Down” profile change compared to regular panels?
A: It adds stiffness and a slight offset that helps clear shingle/drip-edge details, resulting in a flatter fit, cleaner alignment, and less oil-canning on long runs.
Q: Which gutter sizes is this available for?
A: Widths are available to match standard 5", 6", and 7" K-style gutters; choose the panel that corresponds to your gutter size.
Q: Do the regular holes let too much debris through?
A: The classic regular-hole pattern blocks leaves and larger debris while preserving high water flow. If you have pine needles or heavy shingle grit, consider Small Hole or Micro X.
Q: How do I install and maintain these panels?
A: Slide the rear edge under the shingle/drip edge and fasten the front to the gutter lip or fascia with exterior-rated screws/rivets. Inspect seasonally, brush/blow off surface debris, and keep downspouts clear.
