The Alu-Rex Double Pro Access Panel is specifically designed for maintenance access, not just protection. Unlike standard gutter guards, it features a specialized opening mechanism that allows easy access for cleaning and inspection while maintaining debris protection when closed. The perforated aluminum design provides both protection and accessibility, making it ideal for areas requiring regular maintenance access.

Choose the 5" size for standard residential gutters - this is the most common size for typical homes and provides excellent maintenance access for residential applications. Choose the 6" size for larger homes, commercial buildings, or high-capacity gutter systems that require enhanced access and debris handling capability. The size should match your existing gutter system width.

We recommend quarterly inspections using the access panel, with additional checks after major storms or during heavy leaf seasons. The access panel makes it easy to quickly check for debris accumulation, verify water flow, and perform routine cleaning without removing entire gutter guard sections. This regular maintenance schedule helps prevent major clogs and extends gutter system life.

While the access panel is designed for straightforward installation, professional installation is recommended for safety and optimal performance. Installation requires working at height with proper safety equipment and knowledge of gutter system integration. Professional contractors ensure proper fit, secure fastening, and weather sealing. DIY installation is possible for experienced homeowners with proper safety equipment and roofing knowledge.

No, the Alu-Rex Double Pro Access Panel is engineered to maintain optimal water flow while providing access capability. The perforated design allows water to flow through efficiently while blocking debris. When properly installed, the access panel actually improves overall gutter performance by enabling regular maintenance that prevents clogs and ensures consistent water flow throughout the system.

The number of access panels depends on your gutter system length and configuration. Generally, install one access panel every 30-50 feet of gutter run, with additional panels at problem areas like valleys, corners, or areas with heavy debris accumulation. For most residential homes, 2-4 access panels provide adequate maintenance access. Commercial buildings may require more based on size and complexity.
