Why Snow Guards Matter

A typical semi-detached roof area (approx. 30m²) could carry over 2.8 tonnes of snow load
Rainfall after snowfall increases weight significantly, making snow guards a valuable preventative measure

Slate and tiled roofs
Conservatory protection
Domestic and commercial guttering systems

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

In areas prone to heavy snowfall, FloPlast recommends spacing fascia brackets at 400mm centres for extra strength.
