LeafDefier: Innovative Gutter Protection System


Request Information About This Product

The LeafDefier and LeafDefier XL ("LeafDefier"), is an innovative gutter protection system. It consists of a specially-treated lightweight and flexible insert that is uniquely shaped and cut to fit snugly into your gutter. Once installed, LeafDefier allows water and fine particulate matter to flow through the gutter system freely, but keeps leaves and other debris out.

The LeafDefier gutter protection system meets three significant criteria used in green building initiatives.

By reducing or eliminating clogged gutters and improving water flow through the gutter system, LeafDefier may help reduce waste by improving building durability.

Additionally, LeafDefier may reduce or obviate the need for harmful pesticides in combating pest infiltration and reduce harmful levels of moisture in building walls, roofs and foundations, thereby being potentially helpful in reducing biological contaminants and enhancing indoor air quality.

Finally, LeafDefier may aid in effective stormwater management, by increasing the performance of a gutter system’s ability to distribute water across a larger surface area, thereby managing the rate and quantity of stormwater more efficiently.


The LeafDefier Gutter Protection System is a Green-Buildings.com Reviewed Product.
