EcoStar, a manufacturer of steep slope roofing products, introduces a line of pad and pipe-style snow guards. The snow guards are engineered to meet a variety of snow loads, offering protection against the potential dangers of rooftop snow.

Complimenting the company’s existing line of cold-rolled copper snow guards, this new line features pad-style, Kynar-coated aluminum snow guards color-matched to each of the company’s nine tile shades. The coated snow guards measure 9 inches long by 2-1/2 inches wide and feature a wide face that helps prevent damage caused by avalanching snow and ice. Designed for use with a variety of steep slope roofing systems, these pad-style snow guards create friction that is evenly distributed over an entire roof surface. Once rooftop snow begins to melt, the snow guards help break it into small pieces that pose little danger to objects below.
