Ways Snow Guards Protect What Matters Most

• Protect Occupants and Pedestrians
  • Protecting people below the roof is the most important reason to install an engineered snow guard system. By preventing sudden snow and ice slides, snow guards ensure the safety of pedestrians and building occupants, reducing the risk of injury or even fatal accidents.
• Limit Liability Risks
  • Installing snow guards with proven holding strength is crucial for protecting businesses from liability. Without a reliable snow retention system in place, businesses risk accidents caused by snow and ice melting off the roof, potentially injuring customers, employees and pedestrians. Reduce the likelihood of costly and time-consuming lawsuits by relying on tested, trusted solutions.
• Safeguard Vehicles, Equipment and Landscaping
  • Cars, trucks, construction equipment and decorative elements below the roof are vulnerable to melting snow and ice when a rooftop avalanche occurs. A single snow slide can crush a vehicle, shatter windows and destroy trees and shrubs. Snow retention systems, when expertly engineered, can help protect vehicles and reduce the risk for costly repairs and insurance claims.
• Protect Roof and Building Elements
  • Snow guards are essential for protecting various parts of a building and its roof, including gutters, windows, siding, vents, seams, roof membranes, HVAC units, satellite dishes, solar panels and more. Without snow guards in place, large chunks of snow and ice sliding off a roof can cause costly damage to the roof and building components. 
• Save On Maintenance Costs
  • A snow guard system on your metal roof can save you big on maintenance costs. By preventing snow and ice from sliding off en masse, snow guards help protect the roof from unnecessary wear and tear. Heavy blankets of snow and ice can create significant strain on the roof, leading to damage and costly repairs. A snow guard system that is engineered according to a specific area’s calculated snow loads will greatly improve the longevity of a metal roof.

Why Do Snow Guards Matter for Your Metal Roof?

Choosing a metal roof is a smart decision for its longevity, durability, recyclability, style and more. But, to truly maximize its benefits, adding an engineered snow retention system is essential. Snow guards prevent dangerous snow and ice buildup, protecting your roof, property and everything beneath it. They reduce wear and tear on your roof, lowering long-term maintenance costs and extending its lifespan. Whether you’re in a snowy region or just want added peace of mind, investing in a snow guard system is the perfect complement to your metal roof, keeping it safe and efficient for years to come.
