Living in Wisconsin, you need snow guards on your metal roof!
What are snow guards?
Snow guards are devices attached to metal roofs to slow snow and ice slide off when it thaws. Snow guards are a critical element in protecting not only roofs and gutters from damage, but the people below them as well.
How do snow guards work?
As snow and ice thaw and begins descending down a sloped metal roof the snow guards break it up into smaller pieces and hold it. This allows the precipitation to melt completely and drop off in small amounts. The idea is that, as snow and ice back up against the guards, it will harden and create a dam. In turn, the ice dam will prevent the mass of snow from sloughing off the roof all at once as a single avalanche.
Snow Guard Styles
The metal roof snow guards come in different styles, so they match your new metal roof.
Mounting Snow Guards
Metal roof snow guards are roof-mounted at spaced intervals and in two or more rows near the edge of a roof. Moreover, the snow guards for metal roofing need to be mounted in the lowest portion of a roofing panel where the snow and ice actually moves. The flat surface should stand at least the height of the seam, creating a connected field to hold snow and ice stationary until it can melt off safely.
Our snow guards for metal roofing are a cost-effective, long lasting, aesthetically pleasing snow retention solution for any metal roof or standing seam metal roof located in a snow-prone climate.
