Snow Guards SnoBlox Roofing Steel Strap & Poly Guard

Description

Product Overview

The SnoBlox Snow Guard is engineered to safeguard a wide range of roofing materials—including slate, asphalt shingle, composite tile, and shake—against the destructive forces of snow and ice. Each unit combines a heavy‑duty 16‑gauge 304 stainless steel strap with a high‑impact polycarbonate guard, delivering a dual‑layer defense that resists corrosion, UV degradation, and the mechanical stress of heavy snow loads. The strap is pre‑assembled, eliminating the need for on‑site welding or complex fastening, while the polycarbonate guard is molded to a precise curvature that matches typical roof pitches, ensuring a seamless fit that does not interfere with the roof’s aesthetic. The product weighs approximately two pounds, making it easy to handle during installation yet robust enough to remain securely in place for decades.

Usage

Installation of the SnoBlox Snow Guard is straightforward and can be completed by a single installer in under ten minutes per unit. The slotted strap is designed to slide under the roofing material and latch onto the pre‑existing fastener, eliminating the need for additional screws or adhesives. This method works equally well on steeply pitched roofs and low‑slope installations, making the product versatile for residential, commercial, and even historic restoration projects. Homeowners in cold climates will find the guard especially valuable during winter storms, as it prevents snow from sliding off the roof in large sheets that can damage gutters, landscaping, and walkways. Contractors can also use the system on new construction projects to meet local building codes that require snow retention devices on certain roof types.

Because the guard is made from non‑corrosive polycarbonate, it maintains its clarity and structural integrity even after years of exposure to harsh weather, salt, and road runoff. The stainless steel strap resists rust and maintains its tensile strength, ensuring the guard remains firmly attached throughout the life of the roof. The product’s design also accommodates roof ventilation systems, allowing airflow beneath the guard without compromising its ability to hold snow in place. This balance of ventilation and retention helps prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold or rot in the roof deck.

FAQ

How does the Snow Guard stay attached to the roof?

The guard uses a pre‑assembled stainless steel strap with a slotted design that slides under the roofing material and catches on the existing fastener. This method creates a mechanical lock that holds the guard in place without additional screws or adhesives.

Can the guard be used on low‑slope roofs?

Yes. The polycarbonate guard is molded to accommodate a range of roof pitches, and the strap’s flexible design allows it to conform to both steep and low‑slope installations while maintaining effective snow retention.

Is the polycarbonate guard visible from the ground?

The guard is semi‑transparent and blends with most roofing colors, making it discreet while still providing the necessary structural protection. Its low profile ensures it does not detract from the roof’s appearance.

What maintenance is required after installation?

Minimal maintenance is needed. Periodic visual inspections after major snow events are recommended to ensure the guard remains securely fastened. The stainless steel strap and polycarbonate guard are designed to resist corrosion and UV damage, so no routine cleaning is required.

Does the product meet local building code requirements?

SnoBlox Snow Guards are engineered to comply with common building codes that mandate snow retention devices for certain roof types. However, installers should verify specific local regulations, as requirements can vary by jurisdiction.
