About Snow Guards and Snow Retention

What are SnowCatcher Decorative Snow Guards?

Snow Guards are rooftop devices that help prevent snowslides, the dangerous movement of snow and ice, by allowing it to melt completely or drop off in small amounts. Snow guards hold snow and ice stationary to begin with, equally distributing the load accross the entire roof and snow guard system. Metal snow guards can also be referred to as: snowjax, snow stops, snow-guards, snow brackets, snow blocks, snowguards or snow birds and typically are installed on commercial metal roof buildings. Residential and Commercial customers will benefit from safer roofs, less customer complaints of falling snow and ice, less damage to roof vents and overall peace of mind during the winter months. Our clear snow guard products help prevent damage from avalanching snow and ice while remaining practically invisible, adding beauty and function. Snow guards are a practical, cost-effective addition to any sloped metal roof in winter climates. We invented the first poly carbonate (plastic) pad style snow blocks and we continue to be the leader by providing quality metal snow guard products as well.

Our metal snow guards feature large, forward mounted faces that help prevent the dangerous movement of snow and ice on metal roofs. Our products are field proven and professionally lab tested. We offer mechanical attachment and 5 models to fit most panels, including an economy model to fit most budgets. We also offer a free Project Estimator and Spacing Tool on our website at SpacingTool.com for instant project estimates, price quotes and snow guard spacing layouts.
