What Are Snow Guards for Metal Roofs?

Snow guards for metal roofs are devices that hold snow and ice in place so it melts gradually instead of sliding off in dangerous sheets.

Snow retention systems control the release of snow and ice by allowing it to melt gradually or shed in small, manageable amounts. Polycarbonate snow guards are also commonly referred to as snow stops, snow brackets, or snow blocks. These devices are typically installed on sloped metal roofs in areas that receive winter precipitation. Snow guards improve safety, reduce liability, and help protect property from damage caused by sliding snow and ice.

Our clear, polycarbonate snow guard products help prevent damage from avalanching snow and ice while remaining practically invisible, adding beauty and function. Please see our metal roof snow guard buyer's guide for information on how to choose the right snow retention system for your roof. We invented the first polycarbonate pad-style snow guard and continue to lead the metal roof snow retention industry. See what works and what doesn't.
