Snow Guards for Synthetic Slate or Shake Roofing by Alpine SnowGuards

Alpine SnowGuards' snow management systems are essential for any synthetic slate or shake roof that sheds snow onto important egress points. Snow and ice can avalanche off a 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. The new generation of synthetic roofing shingles are produced using plastics that include polyolefins. This is great for cost, quantity, and longevity. However, the shingle surfaces are very slippery from the wax-like coating of the polyolefins. The customers and roofers who install slate and synthetic slate in snow country expect to use snow management devices. Alpine offers powder coating options to match your roofing material.
