Snow Guards for Roof Safety Systems

Snow guards are a critical building safety component designed to prevent the avalanche-like sliding of snow and ice from roof slopes. Installing these structures protects pedestrians, parked vehicles, and surrounding infrastructure from damage caused by falling snow masses.

SIA Akvilon offers comprehensive snow retention solutions. Our company specializes in both the supply of standardized tubular systems and the in-house manufacture of sheet metal snow barriers. We ensure full compatibility of components with various types of roofing materials, including metal tiles, standing seam profiles, and corrugated sheeting.

Custom Manufacturing and Capabilities

The primary advantage of SIA Akvilon is our in-house production facility. This allows us to offer solutions beyond standard market availability:

• Custom Shapes and Sizes: Manufacturing of roofing accessories and flashing according to individual customer drawings for complex roof nodes.
• Wide Color Range: Powder coating of components in any color from the RAL catalog to ensure a precise visual match with the roofing material.
• Material Selection: Utilization of high-grade galvanized steel with various types of protective polymer coatings.
• Professional Installation: We provide qualified installation services for snow guard systems, ensuring secure fastening and maintaining roof watertightness.

Advantages of Use:

• Gutter Protection: Correctly installed barriers prevent deformation and detachment of gutters under the weight of sliding snow.
• Even Load Distribution: The structures help retain the snow layer, which provides an additional thermal insulation layer and reduces dynamic loads on the truss system.
• Maintenance Safety: Snow guards simplify routine roof maintenance by providing additional footings and preventing slippage.

Types of Structures Offered:

• Tubular Snow Guards: Composed of reinforced brackets and metal tubes. Optimal for heavy loads and designed to allow the gradual release of snow masses.
• Sheet Metal Barriers: Manufactured from sheet steel. Suitable for regions with moderate precipitation, allowing for a precise profile match with the roof geometry.
