1. What is the FloPlast Snow/Tile Bracket used for?

The bracket is designed to support snow guards, helping prevent snow, tiles, and debris from sliding off the roof and causing damage or injury.

2. Where should the snow/tile bracket be installed?

It is typically installed along the roof edge above the gutter line, especially on roofs with smooth finishes such as slate or interlocking tiles.

3. What are the dimensions of the SG2 bracket?

The bracket measures approximately 20mm wide, 254mm high, and 127mm deep, making it suitable for secure roofline installation.

4. How far apart should the brackets be fitted?

Brackets should be installed at maximum 800mm centres using two No.12 x 1½″ round head screws per bracket.

5. Does the bracket help protect guttering systems?

Yes, by controlling snow movement it reduces excessive weight and sudden impact on gutters and fascia brackets.

6. Is the SG2 bracket suitable for harsh weather conditions?

Yes. Its galvanised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability in UK weather conditions.

7. Can this bracket help prevent conservatory roof damage?

Yes, it helps stop falling snow and roof tiles that could otherwise damage conservatories, extensions, or lower roof structures.

8. Are FloPlast rainwater products tested to British Standards?

Yes, FloPlast systems are accredited to BS EN 12200, BS EN 607, and BS EN 1462, ensuring reliable performance and load capacity.

9. Why are snow guards and brackets recommended for slate roofs?

Smooth roofing materials allow snow to slide quickly, so brackets help hold snow in place to melt gradually and safely.

10. Should fascia brackets be spaced differently in heavy snowfall areas?

In locations prone to high snow loads, fascia brackets should be spaced at maximum 400mm centres to provide extra support.
