Snow Guards eliminate damage to rooftop elements and seams on Standing Seam Roofs

Answering the question - Why Do I Need Snow Guards? #1 answer is they eliminate damage to rooftop elements and seams on Standing Seam Roofs

People often ask us the question - Why Do I Need Snow Guards? The answer is quite simple really: Snow sliding down metal standing seam roofs often causes damage to rooftop elements including vents and skylights. While rooftop elements will prevent the snow from sliding onto the ground and protect people and property below, vents are not designed to hold snow and are often damaged by sliding snow.

Rocky Mountain Snow Guards manufactures and distributes many types of snow guards for standing seam roofs. For Standing Seam Metal Panel roofs, we have many systems that clamp directly to the seam without puncturing the seam itself. If the the metal panel roof does not have seams appropriate for clamps, the Drift Series Fence-Style Snow Guards can be attached with bolts in a water-tight assembly, mounted directly to the roof structure.
