Will AwningFilter™ handle ice and snow?

AwningFilter™ is impervious to winter. It drains and dries so quickly that snow and ice melt rapidly due to the heat-absorbent color. If it's warm enough to drip into the AwningFilter™, it's warm enough to drain. AwningFilter™ also helps to avoids ice dam back-ups by keeping the gutter and downspouts clear and free flowing.

When it rains does the filter become so saturated that its weight could possibly bring down or compromise the gutters themselves?

No! AwningFilter™ retains less than 10% moisture, and dries very quickly

What about the small debris like pine needles, do they get caught in the black stuff or are the holes big enough for them to drain out?

Neither actually. They are too large to enter through the AwningFilter™ pores and just lay on top.

Will the Installation of AwningFilter™ pay for itself?

Most homeowners do not have awnings cleaned until overflow is noticed.  It is expensive to have awnings cleaned and dangerous to clean them yourself. Besides, Awning cleaning can damage your awning. AwningFilter™ pays for itself by saving money on cleaning costs and prevents additional expenses caused by overflow. AwningFilter™ will pay for itself many times over by eliminating water damage and cleaning costs.

How does AwningFilter's™ BioCide work?

BioCide antimicrobial protection is based on several active ingredients, including those found in many popular consumer and industrial products such as antimicrobial cleaners and soaps, as well as chef's cutting boards and children's carpet- as a defense against dust mites. The effectiveness and durability of BioCide antimicrobial additives have been verified by extensive testing conducted at independent laboratories worldwide. BioCide Built-In Protection has been incorporated into AwningFilter™'s synthetic fibers, providing residual antimicrobial benefits engineered to last the useful life of the product. BioCide technology is built-into the molecular structure. Distinct from surface coatings and some additives, BioCide will not wash out or wear off. It is not a temporary "treatment."
