Roof Type Guide

Mitigate the risk of sudden avalanches on slippery synthetic slate and shake roofs with our versatile snow management systems, featuring low-profile pad-style guards, heavy-duty pipe fences, and discreet wire loops designed to handle the unique waxy surface of polyolefin-based shingles.

For clay and concrete tile roofs, effective snow retention requires specialized systems ranging from historically appropriate adjustable pipe brackets with custom-formed base plates to pad-style guards tailored for specific interlocking shapes.

Protect against hazardous snow avalanches on slippery standing seam metal roofs by using clamp-to-seam snow retention systems that preserve the panel's integrity and allow for necessary thermal movement. 

Mitigate dangerous snow slides on rooftop solar arrays with a comprehensive management strategy using array-mounted fence systems and pad-style friction guards to secure snow on glass surfaces and protect property below.

Secure your membrane roof against dangerous "glacier-like" snow slides with our rugged, watertight pipe and fence retention systems specifically engineered for low-slope, slick surfaces like TPO, EPDM, and PVC.

For corrugated, through-fastened, and metal shingle roofs, effective snow retention requires systems ranging from pad-style guards that accommodate interlocking profiles to specialized pipe and fence solutions fastened through the panel to structural members.

Protect your asphalt shingle roof from sudden avalanches by installing snow guards that provide essential friction, mitigating high-weight slides caused by heavy build-up followed by rapid warming.

Effective snow retention on natural slate relies on the material's inherent surface porosity, with options ranging from historically appropriate pad guards for steep slopes, to heavy-duty pipe-style systems for critical high-load applications.

Building façades and narrow ledges require specialized snow retention to mitigate the liability of 'snow shedding' from horizontal surfaces. Without these low-profile systems, accumulated ice and snow can release suddenly from cornices and parapets, creating significant hazards for pedestrians and property below as they melt.
