Snow Guards are roofing accessories that help prevent the dangerous movement of snow and ice on sloped metal roofs by suspending frozen precipitation in a holding field so it can melt completely or drop off in small amounts. Adding beauty and function, our clear snow-guards help prevent damage from sudden avalanches while remaining practically invisible. Our products are a cost-effective, long lasting, aesthetically pleasing solution for any metal corrugated, standing seam, asphalt, shingle or slate roof located in a winter climate. Several important features to consider when selecting snow retention for metal roofing applications are the height, width and shape of the particular system. This determines the roof guards' ability to hold back layers of heavy ice and snow, thus eliminating unexpected slides. Our 33 years experience manufacturing snow guards has taught us that a pad style guard should have a flat, forward mounted face that measures at least 3 inches across and stands no less than 2.5 inches high. They should always be attached on the lowest portion of the roofing panel where the snow and ice actually moves, not on a high seam above the problem area. Other products offered on this site include leaf gutter guards, vent pipe and chimney protection devices, snow guard adhesive, sealant and screws.
