Snow guards have the main role of preventing snow from sliding from your roofing system all of a sudden. In other words, they keep the snow until it can get safely evacuated from the roof. Also known as snow rails or stops, snow guards are great for metal roofs or offer homeowners and business owners protection against several types of hazards, primarily that of roof avalanche.

Roof avalanches can do a lot of damage to adjacent roofing systems, to vehicles, or they can cause accidents to people passing on the streets or to vehicles. The systems designed for snow retention can make snow leave a rooftop slowly and easily, by water evaporation or water melting.

Some people prefer to have snow guards installed during the warmer season, such as spring, summer or fall, when this work can be done more safely and easily. Due to this fact, in case you install them in winter, it may not be necessary to remove them when spring starts.

No matter the season, it is highly recommended that you call on a professional commercial roofing CT team to do the installation. They can find the best area to install your snow guards while also making sure that they are properly adhered to your roof.
