Snow and ice can avalanche off a low-friction, sloped roof and pose a hazard to people and property below. Alpine SnowGuards products hold the snow and ice in position on the roof, allowing it to melt and shed gradually, instead of all at once, preventing injuries to pedestrians and property damage.

Customers can use the easy layout request form online at or call toll free 1-. An extensive library of product cut sheets, installation instructions, specifications and layout requirements are also available for download on the Alpine SnowGuards website. Common FAQ s: Do snow guards keep all the snow and ice on the roof? No. Our snow guards are specifically designed to prevent entire roof loads of snow from dumping or avalanching all at once. Small amounts of snow and ice will still melt off. Will snow guards prevent icicles from forming? Inadequate insulation, air leaks and improper ventilation can cause a build-up of water between the snow and the roof surface, resulting in the formation of icicles. Snow guards will not prevent icicles from forming. Where can I purchase Alpine SnowGuards? Our snow guards are available directly from Alpine SnowGuards, as well as through many building supply companies and distributors nationwide. 289 Harrel Street, Morrisville, VT Pad-Style Snow Guards: Pad-style snow guards add friction to a frictionless surface, preventing a sudden avalanche of ice and snow. Traditional padstyle snow guards feature our fish head design which provides optimum strength while maintaining aesthetic integrity. Since our pad-style snow guards are riveted, there is no risk of unfolding, and their low profile is the ideal snow management solution for residential and commercial applications alike. There is a pad-style snow guard for every roof type, for both new and existing (retrofit) roofs, and in many style and color options to please even the most discerning taste. Pipe-Style Snow Guards: Pipe-style snow guards act as barricade systems, preventing large pieces of snow and ice from falling off a roof. Precision engineering is what makes our pipe-style snow guards not only extremely durable, but beautiful as well. Our pipe-style snow guard assortment includes two-pipe and three-pipe snow retention systems, as well as several height adjustable bracket options to accommodate a wide range of roof pitches. Originally used for commercial applications, many homeowners are now choosing pipe-style snow guards when making a conscious decision to protect their homes immediate surrounding area from falling snow and ice. Fence-Style Snow Guards: Fence-style snow guards act as barricade systems, preventing large pieces of snow and ice from falling off a roof. We designed our fence-style snow retention systems, SnowMax and Solar SnowMax to be the strongest fencestyle systems on the market. Fast and easy to install with bracket spacing up to 48 on center, our fence-style snow guards are fabricated from aircraft-grade aluminum, resulting in an extremely sturdy product.
