Tailored Gutter Guards for Trimdek Roofs

Trimdek roofs (a popular flat-profile metal roofing style in Australia) have distinct wide, low-profile ribs. Our Trimdek gutter guard solution is custom-engineered to match this profile perfectly. Unlike one-size-fits-all guards, our system is cut and shaped specifically for Trimdek’s flat pans and raised ribs. This means the gutter guard lies flush along your roof, extending from the gutter lip up to the roof, with a neat finish that’s almost unnoticeable from the ground. We fit a slim Colorbond®-matched trim along the gutter edge and secure the mesh at the roof side using profile-specific clips. The result is a precise, contoured fit that looks like it was built with your roof.

Crest-Fixed Installation – No Gaps or Leaks

For Trimdek (and similar flat metal roofs), the best practice is a crest-fixed installation. Our team uses sturdy steel saddle clips designed for Trimdek profiles, placing them over the crown of each roof rib and screwing them in at the crest. This method locks the mesh down tight and has two key benefits: strength and waterproofing. By fixing to the top of the rib, we avoid creating any screw holes in the valley where water flows, so there’s no risk of leaks. The purpose-built saddles (also known as Trimdek clips) are made from 0.55mm high-grade, giving a secure hold that withstands heavy rain, wind, and even pests trying to pry their way in. With the mesh firmly clamped by each saddle and by the gutter-edge trim, you get a tensioned, gap-free fit – no lifting edges and no space for leaves or birds to sneak under.

We also offer gutter guard solutions for other roof profiles – see our Corrugated Gutter Guard Installation and Tile Gutter Guard Installation pages if your home has a different roof type.

Premium Non-Combustible Mesh & Colorbond Finish

When it comes to materials, we only use premium non-combustible mesh and components for our Trimdek gutter guards. The mesh is crafted from tough metal (aluminium or steel), meaning it cannot ignite or melt like cheaper plastic guards. In fact, our mesh is CSIRO-certified with a flammability index of 0 and can resist extreme heat up to 660°C – offering vital protection in bushfire-prone areas. This system is compliant across all Bushfire Attack Levels, including the highest BAL-FZ rating, so you can trust it to help shield your home from floating embers in a fire event.

Our aluminium and steel meshes are powder-coated with a Colorbond® finish for exceptional durability. This AkzoNobel Interpon D1010 high-grade powder coating ensures the mesh won’t rust or corrode for up to 20 years in harsh Australian conditions. It also means your new gutter guards will blend in with your roof – we offer a full selection of Colorbond hues to match your Trimdek roof colour for a discreet look. The powder-coated finish is not only about appearance; it provides a hard shell that resists UV fading, chipping, and salt spray in coastal environment. In short, you get long-lasting performance with no paint peeling and no metallic glare – just a clean finish that complements your home.

Choice of Mesh: 2mm Ember Mesh or 4mm Leaf Mesh

Every home is different, so we provide mesh options to suit your needs. Choose between our standard 4mm aperture mesh (ideal for blocking larger leaves, gum nuts, and birds) or our fine 2mm ember mesh for the ultimate protection against tiny debris and wind-blown embers.

Both options are made from robust 1mm-thick metal mesh for strength. If you’re unsure which is best for your Trimdek roof, check out our 2mm vs 4mm Aluminium Mesh comparison guide. Whichever you choose, rest assured that both mesh types are non-combustible and powder-coated to the same high standards.

All mesh and fastening components (saddles, trims, screws) are sourced from trusted local suppliers – like the team at Gutter Guard Warehouse, known for top-tier Australian-made gutter guard products gutterguardwarehouse.com.au gutterguardwarehouse.com.au. That means quality you can count on, from the mesh material down to every screw.

Professional Installation & Free Gutter Cleaning

Installing gutter guards on a Trimdek roof is a job for professionals – and our experienced installers make it hassle-free for you. From the moment you book with us, we handle everything needed to get your gutter protection in place with minimal disruption.

Our team begins by providing a free gutter cleaning on the day of installation. We’ll clear out all leaves, mud, and gunk from your gutters and downpipes at no extra cost, so your system starts off clean (and so the mesh can perform at its best). This saves you the messy, dangerous task of cleaning gutters yourself and is part of our commitment to full-service installation (learn more about our free gutter cleaning offer).

Once the gutters are cleaned and prepped, we custom-cut the mesh on-site to fit your roof sections exactly, then secure it in place with our Trimdek-specific trims and saddles. Our installers pay close attention to detail – ensuring every edge is snug and every screw is correctly placed. We make sure there are no gaps or raised sections anywhere, especially around tricky areas like corners or between roof sheets. The result is a smooth plane of mesh from the roof into the gutter, with all fixing points tightly fastened. We even check that your ridge capping and valleys (if any nearby) are integrated neatly so that the guard system is continuous.

After installation, we’ll walk you through the completed work, showing you how the gutter guard lies in place and how it works. You’ll see that your Trimdek gutter guard is not just effective, but also clean and professional in appearance – no unsightly screws or overhanging mesh, and absolutely no debris left behind. We take pride in leaving your property as tidy as we found it (apart from your newly protected gutters!). And because of the quality of our materials and workmanship, you likely won’t need to think about your gutters for a long time to come.
