This winter we have seen much more snow than usual, and whether you think this is a good thing or a bad thing, there are some safety concerns that come along with heavy snowfall. One such concern is snow falling off the roof and injuring people. This is especially a risk in the spring time when large amounts of melting snow and ice fall to the ground.
Installing snow guards can increase the safety of your family. Snow guards make it impossible for large sheets of snow and ice to slide off the roof in one piece. Instead it will break down the snowmass into smaller pieces.
Snow guards are usually not installed during new builds, but they are a good investment for the safety of your family and friends.
They need to be installed on the lowest portion of the roof to ensure that they function correctly. They also shouldn’t be installed on an extended roof since these don’t have the support needed for the extra weight that can add up due to snow and ice collecting there.
