What are Foam Gutter Guards?
By ProMatcher Staff
Foam Gutter Guards
Foam gutter guards block debris from entering the gutters by taking the shape of the gutter itself. A
porous foam material
is inserted in the gutter so that debris cannot access the gutter. The foam acts like a sponge, allowing water to pass through, while large leaves can only accumulate on top.
These gutter blockers are typically sold in 4 foot long pieces that are easy to cut and then insert into the gutter. Foam gutter guards are typically treated with chemicals to prevent the growth of mildew and mold.

Although these gutter guards are effective at keeping leaves out, you will still need to remove the leaves from atop the foam material periodically. Foam gutter guards are a popular choice because the
installation is simple
(especially when compared to other forms of gutter protection that require hiring a professional contractor). Installing foam gutter guards is a great weekend DIY project that's
budget-friendly
and relatively simple.
