Leaf Deflector WUI Compliant Gutter Guards
Leaf Deflector Gutter Guards are engineered to keep leaves, pine needles, roof grit, and other debris from collecting inside the gutter. The raised 304 stainless steel screen and Colonial Gray aluminum rails create an all metal fire resistant barrier at the roofline.
When dry material builds up in an open gutter, it can become a vulnerable fuel source during wind-driven ember events. Keeping the gutter trough clear is a practical part of roofline maintenance and a more complete home-hardening strategy in wildfire-prone areas.
Leaf Deflector's raised 24-mesh pattern sheds debris while directing rainfall into the gutter below. WUI Compliant, Class A Fire Compliant, and conforming to ASTM E84 and ASTM E2768 standards, the focused 5 in and 6 in system gives contractors and supply houses documented performance with straightforward product selection.

Gutter Guard Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard?
The Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard is a professionally installed, all-metal gutter guard built for contractors and supply houses. It pairs a raised 304 stainless steel screen with painted aluminum rails, is Class A Fire Compliant, conforms to ASTM E84 and ASTM E2768, and is WUI Compliant, making it a strong fit for wildfire-prone regions as well as standard residential installs.
Who makes the Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard?
Leaf Deflector is made by the manufacturer behind Valor Gutter Guards, a name contractors and supply houses have trusted in gutter protection for years. Leaf Deflector by Valor brings that same industry-leading premium product quality to a raised-screen design of its own, purpose-built as a home hardening gutter guard for homes in wildfire-prone regions and a premium gutter guard solution designed for all gutter systems, roofing types and roofing slopes.
What makes Leaf Deflector different from other gutter guards?
Most gutter guards use a flat screen that debris settles onto. Leaf Deflector uses a raised screen pattern that pulls water down into the gutter while lifting leaves, pine needles, and roof grit so wind and rain shed them off. The result is consistent water flow with less debris buildup, backed by a No-Clog Gutter Guarantee and a 45 year warranty.
What is the Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard made from?
Leaf Deflector is all-metal construction with no plastic or vinyl components. The screen is raised 304 stainless steel 24 mesh with 0.014 wire and approximately 576 holes per square inch. The rails are 0.020 in (24 gauge) aluminum painted Colonial Gray for a low-profile, designer appearance on the roofline.
Is Leaf Deflector fire rated and WUI compliant?
Yes. The Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard meets Class A Fire Compliance, conforms to the ASTM E84 and ASTM E2768 extended duration surface burning standards, and is WUI Compliant for Wildland-Urban Interface building requirements. Its stainless steel and aluminum construction contains no combustible plastic parts, which matters in ember-exposure zones where debris-filled gutters are a known ignition point. Leaf Deflector Gutter Guards are an important and essential part for home hardening and fire safe communities to protect at the roofline from embers traveling faster than the flame.
How much rain, wind, and snow can Leaf Deflector handle?
Published specifications for the Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard list water flow handling of up to 44 inches of rainfall per hour, wind resistance of 110 mph, and a downward snow load rating of up to 45 pounds per square foot.
What sizes does Leaf Deflector come in?
Leaf Deflector is available in 5 in and 6 in gutter models and fits gutter inside widths from 4.0 in to 7.0 in, with custom sizes available. Product ships in 48 in sections packed in 100 ft boxes of 25 sections, which keeps loading, cutting, and installation efficient for crews.
How is Leaf Deflector installed?
Leaf Deflector installs by professional contractors using either an under-shingle mount or a fascia mount, so one product covers nearly any gutter-to-roof scenario. The low 0.25 in profile sits tight to the roofline, and the 48 in sections cut and fit quickly on standard 4.0 in to 7.0 in gutters.
Does Leaf Deflector require maintenance?
Leaf Deflector is engineered to be low maintenance. The raised screen pattern sheds most leaves, pine needles, and roof grit with normal wind and rain. In heavy debris areas such as roof valleys and inside corners, occasional brushing keeps the screen clear, and the High-Flow Inside Miter accessory handles concentrated water flow at valley terminations.
What is the High-Flow Inside Miter?
The High-Flow Inside Miter is a pre-made L-shaped Leaf Deflector accessory for inside gutter corners, where roof valleys concentrate the heaviest water flow. It uses an extra large 16 mesh 304 stainless steel screen with 0.018 in wire and a 6 in front width on both legs, moving high water volume through the corner without overflow.
What warranty comes with Leaf Deflector?
The Leaf Deflector Gutter Guard is backed by an industry-leading 45-Year Product Warranty plus a No-Clog Gutter Guarantee.
