Origins

Established in 1992 the Leafbusters Company all Australian owned and operated, created the new standard in gutter protection.

Original Invention - Guttering Protection for the 21st Century:
Leafbusters are the original inventors of their ski slope design of guttering protection which revolutionized the gutter protection industry.

History - Old Systems:
Old systems focused on putting something in the guttering. However, in our 20 years of experience in the industry, we believe you cannot fix the problem at the level of the gutter when trying to keep gutters clear of leaves, pine needles, gumnuts, twigs and other tree debris. Diamond Mesh Designed in Australia by Inventor - Leafbusters in 1991and launched in 1992. The “diamond shape” mesh
was good for its time.

2G Mesh - Diamond Mesh Superseded:
The Invention of the 2G Mesh launched In March 2000 - the “Second Generation” of ski-slope technology was invented and designed in Australia for one of the harshest environments on earth.

The 2G mesh product is the most advanced mesh, using two different polymers (patented formula) which superceded the diamond mesh.
Advances in technology have enabled us to develop a “smooth top” surface which reduces surface friction and allows the leaves and debris to slide off 70% faster than the old diamond product.

Fire Retarded Product.
Living in Olinda (which we understand is the third highest fire danger area in the world) encouraged us to develop a self-extinguishing fire retarded product - SEFR 2000 - 2G Fire Rating 2 conforms to Australian Standard AS3959 and tested by Australian Wool Testing Authority labs to world accepted test standard AS1530 part 2.

Leafbusters submission in 1997 to Australian Standards caused the inclusion of gutter protection systems for construction of buildings in bushfire home areas.

In 1997 "Consumer Affairs" Leafbusters were recognised by the office of Fair Trading and were given an award for excellence in customer service.

The 2G mesh is available in the following colours (colours shown as approximations):
