Snow Retention Systems
Snow retention systems are designed to control and manage snow and ice on your roof, preventing dangerous slides that can damage property or cause serious injury.
Instead of allowing snow to fall all at once, these systems hold it in place and allow it to melt gradually and safely.
Why Snow Retention Matters
In areas like Park City and the Wasatch Mountains, heavy snowfall can create serious hazards.
Snow retention systems help protect:
· Entryways and walkways
· Driveways and parking areas
· Landscaping and exterior features
· Roof components like skylights and vents
· People in high-traffic areas
Without proper retention, large sheets of snow can slide off unexpectedly, creating liability and damage risks.
Types of Snow Retention Systems
-
Snow Guards
· Individual brackets installed across the roof
· Ideal for shingles and synthetic systems
· Break snow into smaller, safer sections
-
Snow Rails (Snow Fences)
· Continuous bar systems that hold snow in place
· Common on metal roofs
Specialized guards designed for metal roofing systems.
Available in clamp-on options (no penetration) to preserve roof integrity and warranties. -
Bar-Style Snow Fences
· Bar-style snow fences use continuous metal bars installed in rows to evenly distribute snow load and prevent sudden release. Ideal for metal roofs in high snow areas, they provide both safety and a clean, modern appearance.
