Snow Loads, Calculations and Snow Guards:

SnowGuards can prevent damage or danger caused by avalanching snow and ice. Snow Guards are attached to the rooftop to allow snow and ice to drop off in small amounts or melt completely before falling to the ground.  The Glacier snowguards are designed not only for safety, but for a pleasing while being very cost-effective.

Snow guards are installed on roof surfaces to protect against snow and ice damage below. It especially important to install snowguards above: entryways, walkways, and gathering spots; parking lots and drive-through areas; expensive landscaping; ground mounted mechanicals; on metal roofs; lower roofs; valleys and crickets; and gutters and roof protrusions, such as plumbing vents.

TYPICAL SNOWGUARD INSTALLATION AND SNOW GUARD MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS:

(Please see individual products for product specific installation).

NOTE: Best Materials is not responsible for determining the structural integrity or live load capacity of any roof on which Snow Guards will be installed.  This shall be done by an licensed architect or engineer. See Snow Loads & Calculations above.

Installation Procedures for Mechanical Installation on Shingles:

1. Area that SnowGuard will be installed must be clean from any surface contamination.
2. Install the first Snow Guard no more than 12" from outside of exterior wall and 12" from outside of gable side to prevent ice dams.   Determine the position of the shingle that will cover the shingle ledge by laying it in position and marking in the center of the lower shingle.   From this mark, measure up no less than 1 (one) inch and no more than 1-¼ (one and a quarter) inch and place a mark, this mark is the top of the Snow Guard.  
3. The installer must determine the proper length, size and number of fasteners or type of adhesive to use.  The head of the fastener must be even with snow guard, if it sticks beyond the Snow Guard it could cause the fastener to push through the shingle.
4. Now is the time to install the first Snow Guard.   Position the top of Snow Guard at the mark made in step 2.   Insert fasteners into chosen holes of Shingle Ledge on uppermost part of Snow Guard.   When fastening be sure that one screw penetrate through a rafter, purlin or structural support member.  
5. Install the remainder Snow Guards to this row following the guidelines discussed.   There should be a maximum of 24" between each Snow Guard horizontally and a maximum of 24" vertically.   Stagger the next row at the midpoint of the Snow Guards below.  Continue this row until reach the other side of roof. At the eaves on most roofs under 6/12 pitch, two staggered rows will be sufficient. Over 6/12 pitch, a third row must be added.   If the distance from the roof edge to peak is greater than thirty feet, no matter the pitch, two additional rows should be added at the center of roof.   Add Snow Guards to areas over doorways and around valleys for added protection. If unsure of amount needed please contact Glacier Snow Guards.
6. If using screws, cover top and edge of screw with sealant to further protect from leaks.
