Why doesn AEP Span have snow guard details/products?
AEP Profiles is a panel Manufacturer, and does not manufacture snowretention devices. It is our opinion that structures be designed for snow to be allowed to exit roof surfaces naturally, avoiding ice dams and build up in valley areas. Due to the large geographical area in which we market, snow loads and snow density vary to a great degree. Should the intent be to restrain snow from exiting roof surfaces, the Architect designing structures in his locale is more qualified to assess this situation. AEP Span is familiar with all of the snow guard Manufacturers, and can pass along information for several designs that are compatible to specific AEP Spans’ panels. Snow guard Manufacturers will advise the Architect of the number, placement, and attachment of these devices.
