SNOWGUARDS

Necessary Snow Slide Protection.

Sudden and unexpected snow and ice sliding from a roof can be a serious hazard to people and property. A heavy snow slide could not only cause personal injury but could damage lower roofs, gutters, downspouts and foundation landscaping.

Snowguards are designed to minimize this damage by holding masses of snow and ice in place so that it will melt gradually into the gutters. Snowguards can also prevent the formation of icicles and potential leaks which will, in turn, increase the safety of the building and reduce potential liability claims.

There are many considerations and options we take into account when choosing snow slide protection. The importance of the visual exposure is taken into consideration with regard to historical restoration as well as contemporary architecture. Metals and finished as well as size and shape are chosen to blend with a roof's characteristics. We can custom design a snowguard system to suit the style of any residential, commercial or institutional building.
