SnoStop
Product Information

At Snostop we engineer both penetrating (fasten through) and non penetrating (clamp-on) systems to withstand snow load conditions anywhere in the world. With extensive research and development, Snostop can provide a system to accommodate any roof under any conditions.

Snostop pre-engineered snow guards are designed both for efficiency and good esthetics. All systems can be supplied in mill finish or color matched to the exact manufacturer color specifications.

Why do I need a snow and ice retention system?

An effective system will prevent accumulated snow and ice from falling off the roof and minimize the associated risk of injury, death, and damage to property.

Is there a severe liability to falling snow and ice? How real is threat of falling snow and ice?

According to The National Water Service, winter weather damage causes $3 billion to $6 billion in damages each year depending on the severity of the season. A cubic foot of snow can weigh anywhere from 7 pounds (dry) to 30 lbs (compact); rain and snow drifts can add even more weight creating potentially dangerous and costly situations. After motor vehicles accidents, the number one cause of storm-related injuries and deaths was ice and snow falling off roofs and other structures.

Building owners can be held liable for any property damage and personal injury resulting from excessive snow if it could have been prevented by proper maintenance.

What are my snow and ice protection alternatives?

Protective Arches
It is possible to build and install protective arches or canopies over the approach to high-risk areas such as doorways and walkways located beneath exposed eaves. But this alternative is not always feasible depending on roof and building design, and can become a prohibitively expensive way to achieve the level of protection needed.
Barricades
Doors can be locked (assuming that no fire codes are compromised) and barricades can be erected to close off the high-risk areas for the snow and ice season. But this alternative can be a nuisance for those who use the building as well as for building management and maintenance staff. And barricades and closures provide no guaranty of personal safety against falling snow and ice, and no protection whatsoever against property damage.
The SNOSTOP System
SNOSTOP is the best snow and ice retention system available today. SNOSTOP is an engineered system, over-designed and lab tested to deliver protection that exceeds industry standards. Every project (big or small) is load calculated to ensure the correct snow management solution is provided to restrain snow and ice.

Unlike makeshift solutions like barriers and canopies, SNOSTOP is a permanent installation that complements the aesthetics of the roof and building. SNOSTOP is engineered to deliver maximum protection against shearing in a single low-profile installation.

Unlike ordinary bracket-and-rail systems, SNOSTOP is totally modular and configurable system that can be perfectly matched to the roofing material, the roof shapes and extrusions, and even the roof color.

What is the risk of water leaks with a penetrating (fasten through) snow guard system?

“In the thousands of the snow stop projects we have designed in the past 16 years, we have not heard one legitimate complaint about water leaks caused by the penetrating snow guard system. Simply follow the installation instructions carefully and the system will last for years with no problems. It is important to seal the base with caulking or double stick Eternabond tape before securing the screws.”

Cam Haszczyn ( GM of Snostop Division)

How long will the system last?
A Snostop custom designed snow management system will last the lifetime of your roof if installed according to the layout and installation instructions .
