    Q:How does this foam do with the whirlybirds and subsequent growth? At my house I have found little maple trees growing in the most unexpected places. Just curious if this foam will help or hinder growth or will they blow off? Thank you.

        Q:How does this system work with snow and/or ice buildup? Will it weigh down the gutter system on our house?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Thank you for your interest in GutterStuff! GutterStuff filters work really well with snow and ice buildup. They will let the ice and snow melt right through the filters and actually help the ice to melt faster. When temperatures go below freezing, the filters will just freeze in the gutters and will unthaw when the ice does.

          Q:How do these guards do with heavy water flow? Others the homeowner has tried, during a downpour, have caused the water to miss the gutter entirely. They have a basement and the water is problematic when the gutters don't work. The roof is 12/12 incase that matters. I recommended this product and told them I would try and find out how they do with granules and heavy water flow.

          Answer This Question

          A:  Hello, thank you for you reaching out! GutterStuff works really well with heavy rainfall because water can go directly through the porous material of the filter. If there are a few spots of the roof that get an extreme amount of flow, there are 'rain diverters' that are easy to find and install, and will disperse the water in those areas. As with any gutter filtration system, light maintenance is highly recommended to get off any stubborn debris or granules. If you just brush them off or give them a light spray every 6 months to a year, this should keep them in great shape year-after-year.

            Q:How well does it hold up in Florida weather and the potential of high winds? does it need to be secured down?
            by|Jun 17, 2021
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  Hello, thank you for your interest in GutterStuff! As long as you install GutterStuff in your entire gutter system, high winds will not be an issue. Regarding Florida weather, because of the sun exposure and humidity, I would recommend going with the Original or Pro series. That will provide UV & Germicide protection on your filters to keep them working properly year after year. Here is a link to our Buyer's Guide that will go over all of the series and protection that they offer: https://gutterstuff.com/pages/gutterstuff%C2%AE-buyers-guide

              A:  no

              by|Jun 9, 2021

                A:  Thank you for reaching out! We have different levels of germicide protection that will help keep pests from picking at the filters. The EZ series does have any extra coating, as this is our lowest grade. I would recommend either the Original, that has a top coating of the germicide protectant, or the PRO, which is fully coated in the protective coating. Please feel free to give us a call at (414) 446-8778 if you have any questions!

                      A:  No. You can just insert the foam into the gutter and you’re good to go. Nothing else is needed to secure them in place.

                          Q:Will they allow leaves to gather on top? Is there a recommended size?

                          Answer This Question

                          A:  4" K-Style gutters are normally 3" deep. You probably have Fascia gutters as the size on those can vary. If you have 4" x 5.5" gutters, you will need a custom cut, which we can do. To order a custom cut, please call us at 866-766-3442. GutterStuff allows the water to flow through while leaves and debris will blow off. It is recommended to occasionally check on it and brush or spray off anything that remains behind. A little maintenance will allow GutterStuff to keep performing year after year.

                            A:  I would imagine that depends on the wind. A good wind or leaf blower should remove any leaves.
