What is a snow guard? You can define snow guards as rooftop devices that allow snow and ice to drop off in small amounts
or melt completely before falling to the ground. Alpine SnowGuards' snow guards help prevent damage
caused by avalanching snow and ice while enhancing the beauty of any roofing system.
Historically used with slate roofs, snow guards are a practical, cost-effective addition
to any sloped roof in cold-weather areas. We make traditional snow guards from recycled stainless steel, brass
and aluminum and now polycarbonate (plastic) pad style snow guards.
Snow Guard Layout & Installation
Snow guards should be installed by roofing contractors or gutter installation companies.
We recommended that snow guards be installed by roofing professionals, as proper attention
must be paid to fastener strength, the structural integrity of the building and proper flashing
of the product. We do not recommend any specific roofing contractors. Homeowners should check their local
yellow pages, search the Internet or check with a local roofing/building supply company for contractors
in your area.
Do you need to secure satellite dishes, PV, HVAC, signs, stove pipes, just about anthing to just about any roof? Do your installatons meet current building codes?
EcoFasten Solar manufactures watertight flashings and mounting brackets for just about every roof and our attachment blocks work with virtually
all available roof rack systems and components. EcoFasten Solar's products are the way to attach just about anything to just about any roof without damaging
the roof: attachments secure - roof intact.

Roof Snow Removal
Our snow guards are designed to help keep snow and ice from avalanching off the roof all at once causing damage to
structures, landscaping, vehicles and people below. When more snow than expected accumulates on the roof, it should be removed
to avoid damage to the roof, the building structure and anything below.
Heavy snow falls, drifting, and the gradual accumulation of snow and ice are conditions that can lead to roof collapses.
Homeowners and business owners should remove excessive snow from roofs, if it can be done so safely and without risk of injury.
Special attention should be paid to the height of your roof and the possibility of injury in a fall.
Those who are not able to safely clear their roofs should call a contractor experienced in roof snow removal.
Everyone should also be aware of the health hazards of moving such heavy snow.
Over exertion snow removal can cause a range of health problems, including back injuries and heart attacks.
