This article will cover the topic of snow guards for tile roofs. Safety has always been an issue of primary importance. It is especially crucial to pay attention to the potential dangers when dealing with the roof. There is a vast variety of snow stoppers for all kinds of metal roofs. In this text we will discuss the holders for the metal tiles roof. In this case we usually recommend bolt-down fence-style system because rt is tailored for handling even the most serious snow loads and also suits the roofs with high pitch. When the volume of precipitation is high, the snow might simply break the whole retention structure. When the pitch is high there is a hazard of snow running down at an enormous speed, push over the fence, and crash onto the landscape elements or pedestrians.
To avoid these hazards, we discuss with our clients what system will suit best for their roofs.
Screw-down fence-style system
This enhanced system is meant to meet any retention requirements for both residential and commercial properties. The best thing about it is not only that it is mounted straight onto the supporting structure or base of the roof. While the regular snow guard is made up of one tube, the screw-down fence-style system can have up to three metal tubes in its structure. This is basically a carefully designed arrangement of robust extra tough screw-down or bolt-down brackets which from a pedestrian angle of view looks like a neat fence. This fence will stop any avalanche, no matter how strong or heavy it is.
Installation of snow guards
The bolt-down fence-style snow retention system is installed with the help of special screws that insure the tightness of our tubular heavy-duty snow guards. These special screws are mechanically secured.
The snow holders are typically fastened to the base of the roof by 4 brackets for every 10 feet. The number of rows of snow guards depends on slope length and pitch and snow load in certain location. You can calculate the number of the snow holders or have our specialist make a roof estimate for you. You can also consult Roof Experts to discuss the peculiar requirements of your property. We will go an extra mile to ensure all your needs is met.
