Welcome to wintertime in Michigan, where the days are short, and the snow piles are high. With the changing seasons, it is important to make sure we are protecting our homes and the people who are inside them.
With their style and durability, metal roofs have become a hit with many homeowners. They are extremely low maintenance and offer the best protection against rain, sleet, and snow. Metal roofs function much like shingle roofs, except for one big difference: sliding ice and snow!
Many people do not think about this when they install a metal roof, but a Snow Guard is a must in snowy weather. Without the guard, it is possible for snow and ice to go flying off your roof, and crash into your porch, landscaping, cars, and even a person. With that much snow and ice coming down at an alarming speed – it could mean very bad news for whatever is under it. To avoid an avalanche of snow and ice, many homeowners install Snow Guards to the metal roofs of their home.
Snow and ice are no match for a Snow Guard, as it acts as a barrier to keep the snow and ice from sliding off the roof all at once. It helps get snow and ice off your house in a slow, predictable way, rather than a sudden frozen flood coming down at you!
