Gutter Leaf Protection

Frequently Asked Questions


  • We require 3 measurements and the shape: Quad, Round or Square. A is the inner vertical height of the gutter. B is the horizontal measurement. C is the outer vertical height of the gutter. Gutter shapes and labels A, B and C are shown in the installation guide.

  • GuttaFilta is fire retardant with a self-extinguishing rating of 10. For more detailed information about fire retardancy, please download our fire rating document.

  • GuttaFilta sits snugly into your gutter so there are no visible signs unless the vantage point is high enough to see into the gutters.

  • GuttaFilta is UV stable and protects the foam filter from the sun's heat and UV radiation. Accelerated weather testing has proven GuttaFilta will survive direct sunlight for longer than 7 years (as a minimum).

  • GuttaFilta was first marketed in the first quarter of 2003 in the USA. We introduced GuttaFilta into Australia in 2012 and it is being produced by Dyman Foams in Brisbane. Dyman Foams has been operating for over 20 years.

  • GuttaFilta comes with a 7-year product warranty and we also offer a 12-month money-back satisfaction guarantee. Warranty is subject to conditions including proper installation and initial gutter cleaning.

  • GuttaFilta appears to repel vermin. It also has an anti-microbial additive which prevents algae and mould developing. GuttaFilta assists with mosquito control by keeping mosquitoes away from any water build up. We do not guarantee GuttaFilta to be impervious to birds, insects and small animals, but it will deter them.

  • GuttaFilta only retains a small percentage of the water that passes through it and that for only a short period before it dries. GuttaFilta is approximately 98% air and, therefore, is very light even when a small amount of water is retained.

  • GuttaFilta is preferred by Roofing Contractors because it needs no damaging nails, screws or messy tapes to hold it in place and it won't void your roof warranty. It allows homeowners to gain easy access to their gutters without destroying their gutter protection or damaging their roofs.

  • Our company is confident you will be happy with GuttaFilta and offer a 12-month money-back satisfaction guarantee based on specific requirements and guidelines. Please refer to the warranty page for full terms.

  • We will not guarantee your gutters won't overflow during heavy downpours. Much depends on the pitch of the roof, the volume of rainfall, the size of your gutter, and the efficiency of your down pipes. Generally, because GuttaFilta keeps your gutters clear of debris, your gutters are far less likely to overflow with GuttaFilta than without it.

  • Regular maintenance may assist the efficiency of GuttaFilta. Leaves will gather on top of the GuttaFilta and these may need to be removed periodically. We recommend you cast a regular eye over the GuttaFilta and, if it is showing signs of clogging, remove the leaves by blowing them off or hosing them off.

  • If the correct GuttaFilta shape is fitted to your gutter and is fitted correctly, GuttaFilta will not blow out of your gutters in strong winds.

  • Water passing through GuttaFilta has undergone rigorous testing against the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011. Tests show that GuttaFilta has zero negative effect on water tested.

Our advice, because GuttaFilta is designed to keep your gutters clear of debris and not free of pollutants, is not to use tank water for drinking purposes until you have had professional advice.

  • Water after passing through GuttaFilta has undergone rigorous testing against the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011. Tests show that GuttaFilta has zero negative effect on water tested.
