When it comes to safeguarding your home, gutters might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, they are crucial in protecting your property’s foundation, landscaping, and overall structural integrity. Traditional gutter systems have served us well, but technological advancements have paved the way for more efficient and durable solutions. Enter the Hoverā¢ Floating Continuous Hangerā¢ system by Alu-Rexāa revolutionary gutter installation and protection approach.
Understanding the Limitations of Traditional Gutter Systems
Traditional gutters are typically installed using spaced hangers or nails at intervals of 24 inches. While this method provides basic support, it leaves long stretches of gutter vulnerable to sagging, warping, and damage from heavy snow or ice accumulation. Additionally, these systems often require frequent maintenance to clear debris and prevent clogs, leading to potential water overflow and damage to your home’s exterior.
Over time, repeated exposure to extreme temperatures, UV rays, and moisture weakens these hangers and the sealant used at corners and joints. The result? Cracks, leaks, and costly repairs. Plus, since traditional systems rely on puncturing the fascia for installation, they may contribute to long-term wood damage and rot, especially in wetter climates.
Introducing Hoverā¢ Floating Continuous Hangerā¢ Technology
The Hoverā¢ system by Alu-Rex redefines gutter installation by utilizing Floating Technologyā¢. This innovative approach allows gutters to be suspended from the building fascia without puncturing it, maintaining the structural integrity of both the gutter and the fascia and reducing the risk of water infiltration and wood rot.
Key Features of Hoverā¢ Technology:
- Continuous Support: Unlike traditional systems, Hoverā¢ provides end-to-end reinforcement, eliminating weak spots and ensuring uniform strength throughout the gutter’s length.
- Springback Technologyā¢: This feature allows the gutter to withstand over 400 lbs per linear foot, distributing weight evenly and preventing distortion under heavy loads like snow or ice.
- Built-In Gutter Guard: The integrated guard removes leaves, pine needles, and other debris, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent water flow.
- Thermal Movement Accommodation: The floating design allows the gutter to expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing warping and extending the system’s lifespan.
Benefits of Hoverā¢ for Homeowners
1. Enhanced Durability and Longevity
The continuous support provided by Hoverā¢ ensures that your gutters remain sturdy and functional for years to come. The system resists sagging and damage by eliminating weak points, even under extreme weather conditions.
2. Reduced Maintenance
With the built-in gutter guard, homeowners can say goodbye to frequent gutter cleaning. The guard effectively blocks debris while allowing water to flow freely, minimizing the risk of clogs and overflows. This ease of maintenance is a significant advantage of Hoverā¢ technology, relieving homeowners of a tedious and often dangerous household chore.
3. Improved Aesthetic Appeal
Hoverā¢ offers a sleek, seamless appearance that complements your home’s exterior. The absence of visible hangers or fasteners provides a clean, modern look that enhances curb appeal.
4. Protection Against Water Damage
By ensuring efficient water drainage and preventing clogs, Hoverā¢ protects your home’s foundation, siding, and landscaping from water-related damage. This proactive approach can save homeowners significant repair costs in the long run.
5. Eco-Friendly Design
Constructed from high-quality aluminum, Hoverā¢ is both durable and recyclable. Its long lifespan reduces the need for replacements, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Alu-Rex is a leader in gutter technology and is known for its commitment to innovation and quality. Their products are designed to withstand North America’s harshest weather conditions, offering homeowners peace of mind and reliable performance.
Notable Alu-Rex Technologies:

Comparing Hoverā¢ to Other Gutter Systems
Other gutter systems, like SnapLockā¢ (a system that uses a snap-together design for easy installation) and LeafGuardĀ® (a system with a built-in hood that prevents debris from entering the gutter), provide some level of no-screw or seamless protection. However, Hoverā¢ sets itself apart by combining multiple technologies into a single solution. It offers both a gutter guard and full-length support, while many systems only provide one or the other. Plus, its ability to handle over 400 lbs per linear foot far exceeds industry standards.
Installation and Warranty

Alu-Rex stands behind its products with a lifetime warranty on materials and durability and a 25-year prorated clog-free warranty, providing homeowners with added confidence in their investment.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
As more homeowners move toward eco-conscious living, Hoverā¢ stands out with its recyclable materials and long lifespan. Reduced need for repairs means fewer resources used over time. Efficient water drainage helps conserve water by protecting irrigation systems and landscaping.
The Future of Rainwater Management
With climate patterns shifting and more regions experiencing unpredictable weather, the need for high-performance gutter systems is greater than ever. Hoverā¢’s advanced engineering helps homeowners adapt to these challenges with confidence. Whether it’s torrential rain in spring or heavy snow in winter, this system is designed to keep homes safe, dry, and beautiful.
Cost vs. Value: Why Hoverā¢ Is Worth It
While the initial investment in Hoverā¢ may be higher than traditional gutter installations, the long-term savings on repairs, maintenance, and replacements make it a wise financial decision. This added protection and modernized look can significantly enhance your home’s resale value, making it more attractive to potential buyers who appreciate low-maintenance, high-performance features. Hoverā¢ technology is not just an investment in your home’s protection, but also in your financial future.
HomeAdvisor says the average cost of foundation repairs due to water damage is $2,219 to $8,113. Investing in a system like Hoverā¢ could prevent these costly repairs altogether.
What Homeowners Are Saying
Customers who switch to Hoverā¢ technology often mention the peace of mind from knowing their gutters can withstand anything nature throws at them. Many appreciate the added benefit of not having to clean out debris every few months or worry about ice dams during winter. This sense of security is a key benefit of Hoverā¢ technology, giving homeowners confidence in their investment.
