Snow guard systems are roofing accessories used for reasons of road safety and to protect pedestrians from falling snow and ice loads. Snow guard requirements are regulated by regional building regulations. Roofing accessories for preventing falling ice and snow for reasons of road safety may be mandatory depending on roof inclination, height above sea level and amount of snowfall. The decision of which snow guard system version to use depends on the buildings' purpose, e.g. place of assembly or public building, and is ultimately always in the hands of the owner.

The robust guard rail is clad in the same RHEINZINK quality as the roof. The roof and snow guard form a single unit that satisfies the highest aesthetic standards.

Alternatives
We recommend using roofing accessory snow guard systems that are attached to the seams using special clamps. A pipe of sufficient size and bending-resistance prevents snow lying on the roof from sliding off.
