Snow guards prevent hazardous situations, potentially caused by ice and snow falling from roofs. Additionally, snow guards can protect different construction elements on the roof. Snow guards should be used when the roof incline is 1:8 or more. Snow guards should be placed as close to the eaves as possible directing the snow towards the load-bearing structures.
Pisko snow guards are durable and long lasting. The snow guards are tested and they meet the Swedish "Takskydd-Snöräcken-Funktions-krav” SS 83 13 35 standard. A snow guard and its fastenings should bear a minimum load of n 5 kN/ m.
Pisko snow guards and roof walkways use the same fasteners. For walkways we also use inclination adjustment plates. Fasteners are manufactured for all of the most common roof types.
Materials:
