Will I ever have to brush
debris off of LeafFilter?
| If debris tends to sit on the edge of your roof,
then it will also sit on LeafFilter™. Many
gutter guard companies say that “the wind always
blows debris off.” This is not always the case
for them or for us. You shouldn’t have to brush
debris off of LeafFilter™ in order for it to
direct water into your gutters. But, if you currently
brush leaves off of your roof, then for purely aesthetic
reasons you’ll also need to brush them off
of LeafFilter™. |

Can sticks fall on
LeafFilter and tear the XELA FilterShield membrane or can
ice slide off of a roof, catch and rip it?
| We haven’t witnessed
LeafFilter™ tearing during our attempt
to simulate a stick dropping on the XELA
FilterShield.
We’ve never received reports or complaints
of LeafFilter™ tearing from falling
debris, but that doesn’t mean it will
never happen. Your gutter will NEVER CLOG
even
with a small tear in the XELA FilterShield
membrane. Also, your LeafFilter™ dealer
can easily repair most tears. |

How does XELA FilterShield
handle smaller debris like pine needles and shingle grit?
| XELA Filtershield’s
microscopic holes do not permanently hold
or trap organic debris. It’s nearly
100% water permeable and has self cleaning
properties that help it shed clogging agents
like shingle grit and other small debris.
However, we have had instances in high
pollen areas where the membrane requires
refreshing. This can be done by wiping
XELA FilterShield with a brush using a
water and light dish soap solution. |
