Choosing the Right Style

Alpine offers versatile snow retention—from friction pads to structural barriers—plus specialized solutions for solar, building ledges, and HeatDefender housings to optimize and protect rooftop heat cables.

  • Pad-Style

    Pad-style snow guards are individual devices that add friction to the roof, allowing snow and ice to melt and release in small manageable amounts.

  • Pipe-style or Fence-style

    Pipe-style or fence-style snow guards are durable barricade systems designed to prevent large avalanches of snow and ice, offering superior protection in high snow load areas.

  • Bar-Style

    Engineered from aircraft-grade aluminum, our bar-style snow guards are the strongest on the market, acting as a continuous barricade to prevent large pieces of snow and ice from falling off a roof.

  • Solar Snow Management

    Sloped solar panels can create dangerous snow avalanches, Alpine's three-component solar snow retention system allows the snow to melt safely, preventing property damage or injury.

  • Ledge-Style

    Alpine SnowGuards’ specialized ledge products offer low-profile snow retention for façades, cornices, and parapets. Designed to protect pedestrians and property, these systems hold snow and ice in place on narrow horizontal surfaces, allowing it to melt and shed gradually.

  • HeatDefender

    Designed to optimize heat trace performance and prevent ice dams, HeatDefender is a protective housing that shields heat cables from environmental wear. By increasing the lifespan and efficiency of the cable, it delivers a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution.
