Snow Guards for All Roof Types - Product Portfolio
Alpine SnowGuards offers performance-tested solutions engineered for seamless integration across all roof types, including solar arrays. We are committed to providing you a trusted specification and the assurance of safety for people and property on all your future projects.
Our three-decade legacy began with the original PD10 copper snow guard for slate, establishing our standard for aesthetic quality and performance. This commitment to solving complex roof challenges has driven the development of numerous patented solutions for all modern roofing materials. Architects nationwide specify our snow guards for their proven, reliable performance and their ability to uphold a building's design integrity.
-
20+ Pad-Style Snow Guards to Choose from
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.
-
20+ Pipe-Style Snow Guards to Choose from
Pipe, Fence and Bar-style snow guards are durable barricade systems designed to prevent large avalanches of snow and ice, offering superior protection in high snow load areas.
-
Solutions for Façades
Specialized snow retention systems for building façades, ledges, cornices, parapets and curtain walls protect pedestrians and property by holding snow and ice in place on narrow horizontal surfaces, allowing it to melt and shed gradually.
-
Solutions for Ice Dams
Alpine SnowGuards' HeatDefender is a heat cable housing designed to increase the efficiency and lifespan of rooftop heat trace cables and ensure effective and discreet ice dam protection.
Assurance Through Testing
First-Of-Its-Kind Performance Facility
When you specify Alpine SnowGuards, you're building on the foundation of multi-tiered performance testing.
- ASCE 7 Baseline: We begin with the ASCE 7 standard (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings) to determine the baseline design snow loads your projects require.
- Beyond Compliance: We exceed this standard with in-house validation and testing from accredited third-party labs and field experts.
- Data-Driven Reliability: Our dedicated test performance facility, featuring 16 cameras and 11 roof surfaces, captures long-term data across diverse, real-world conditions.
