Gutter Installation Services in Comox Valley and Campbell River
Selecting the right kind of gutter and properly installing it is important to increase the longevity of the roof and siding. If you are looking for a trusted gutter installation contractor in Comox Valley and Campbell River, get in touch with Glacier Gutters & Exteriors. We offer and install seamless 5-inch and 5-inch fascia gutters which are made of premium-quality aluminum.
We start the installation procedure by thoroughly inspecting the roof border, soffits, and fascia. By this, we make sure that we don’t get any unpleasant surprises after we start the installation. We also carry eavestroughing in different colours along with the different kinds of fasteners used for them.

Benefits of Standard Installation
Standard installation should be your preferred choice for eavestroughing over traditional installation techniques. This is because standard eavestroughing involves a continuous hanger compared to the spaced hangers in case of a traditional installation. This ensures that the gutters are always straight and are protected against the ice expansion. The self-sealing screws we use come with rubber gaskets which prevent water infiltration and hence, protect the roof and siding.
Advantages of the T-Rex® Continuous Hanger™
Attaches eavestrough to the house
Installed with hangers
Aluminum hangers are installed in a gap of every 16 or 18 inches. The hangers are screwed to the fascia board to the back of the gutters.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
The continuous hanger™ is fitted though the entire length of the eavestrough. The hanger is screwed into the facia board at the back of the eavestrough and hung inside the front of them across the entire length.
Not Visible from the Ground
Installed with hangers
Even though the spaced-hanger eavestrough is invisible from the ground, it’s weak due to the spacing between the hangers.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
The T-Rex® continuous hanger™ System is also invisible from the ground but is stronger than the traditional eavestroughing with spaced hangers. It also adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of your house as well.
Wont Rust over Time
Installed with hangers
Some gutters made of iron are susceptible to rust over a period of time.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
The T-Rex® system is made of premium-quality aluminum which ensures no rust. These eavestrough will also be strongly fastened to your home for better protection.
Supports 250 lb per linear foot (weight of snow and ice)
Installed with hangers
Since the eavestroughing has spaced hangers, it’s not strong enough to withstand the weight of the accumulated snow or ice.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
Newly installed eavestroughs are 50% more robust than other types as the T-Rex® system gutters are attached across the entire length with continuous hanger™ leaving no weak points. This system can support 250 pounds per linear foot. It also eliminates the risk of warping of the gutter due to the weight of the ladder, snow, or tree branches.
Ensures that eavestroughs remains functional during winter*
Installed with hangers
These types of the fasteners allow the snow into the eavestrough. So when they are full with ice or snow, they can’t funnel the water through the downspout when the weather warms up.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
The rain gutter remains functional since no ice or snow can accumulate and clog it. Water can easily be drained through the downspout and protect your house from major damage.
* No system can prevent ice from forming on the roofs of poorly insulated or poorly ventilated houses. However, T-Rex® will prevent eavestrough warping caused by the weight or movement of ice.
Protects eavestroughs against damage caused by a ladder*
Installed with hangers
As the hangers are spaced in case of a traditional gutter, leaning a ladder over it will damage it if the ladder is pressed against the weak points of the gutter.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
Since T-Rex® is a continuous eavestrough fastening system, it has no weak points and the weight is evenly distributed across the entire length. It can support the weight of the ladder without damaging your new gutters.
*Alu-Rex reminds you to always ensure ladders are firmly secured at the base and at the top.
Prevents water from infiltrating the fascia board
Installed with hangers
Rainwater can seep through your eavestroughs installed with hangers. Over time, it can rot the fascia board of your home. Repairing fascia boards can be very expensive.
Installed with the T-Rex® continuous hanger ™
Since the T-Rex ® system is sealed with gasketed screws, there is no risk of water damage to the fascia board.
Keeps eavestroughs from warping over time
Installed with hangers
Due to the accumulation of ice and snow inside the rain gutter, it will gradually warp over time. And a warped gutter cannot be repaired.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
With T-Rex® continuous hanger™ system, ice and snow cannot enter and accumulate in your eavestroughs and hence, there is no danger of warping.
Extends durability of sealant and prevents early leakage
Installed with hangers
Gutters installed with hangers let the sun’s UV rays through which dry out the sealant. Eventually, the sealant cracks, causing leaks in the corners.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
T-Rex® blocks over 50% of UV rays so they can’t reach the sealant and cause cracks. Protected from the sun, the sealant stays watertight which means no leaks in the corners!
Includes a free built-in gutter guard*
Installed with hangers
When debris such as leaves and branches accumulates in the eavestrough, the downspouts get clogged. This results in water overflow which might be a reason for damage to your roofs and walls of the house due to leakage.
T-Rex® continuous hanger™
Since the T-Rex® continuous hanger™ system is an ultra-strong eavestrough installation, it prevents overflow and water damage to your home.
*In most cases, the wind blows debris off the T-Rex®’s surface. When wind doesn't do the job, simply brush off the T-Rex® surface. Please note that even if the surface is covered with debris, water can get through and into the gutter without overflowing.
