Snow Retention is all about safety... but we do care about good looks, too!
There are many snow guards available that are meant for more industrial-type installations, usually of the plastic variety, but we would never recommend those be used on your beautiful home.
Each roof snow retention project requires specific attention to material choices and proper system styles
The experts at RMSG explain the differences between various Snow Guard materials like copper, aluminum and raw steel for roof snow retention applications.
Rocky Mountain Snow Guards offers several copper snow guards for slate roofs. Our SnowTrapper (ST) line includes the ST18 for new natural slate roofs and the ST16R for existing roofs. The new Yeti line includes the Yeti 18 and the Yeti 16R.
Snow guards are primarily used in areas of high foot traffic but they're also used to protect any property from sliding snow and ice avalanches from roofs.
