Snow Guard is designed to prevent snow slippage on pitched roofs, allowing it to pass gradually through a grid as it melts. Andrew Borthwick of Badenoch Roofing commented, “Following a recommendation by our suppliers, Highland Steel and Building Supplies, we have fitted Snow Guard to a number of homes. Our only other option would have been to use lengths of heavy 6 x 2 timber, and Snow Guard is far lighter and easier to fit. The support brackets are just positioned in the first or second course up from the eaves, and fitted over the batten and tile. Connectors are also available to join each section together really easily”. Snow Guard can be used with profiled or flat interlocking tiles and slates, and need no additional support battens. Sold in 3-metre lengths, the powder-coated, galvanised steel grids are available in black, tile red and brown.
