How do Sno-Gem Snow Guards work?
• Once snow is on a roof, heat generated through the roof or from rising exterior temperature melts the snow. The melting process often creates a thin layer of water between the snow and the roof. The water forms a slippery path that the snow and ice follow down, often in one large chunk. Properly placed and attached, Sno-Gem snow guards will reduce the potential for cascading snow. Instead of falling off in an avalanche, the snow and ice often drops off in small amounts or melts completely. Also, Sno-Gem Snow Guards can help to more evenly distribute the weight of snow and ice on a roof.
