If you have a RARE Manufacturing metal roof, your home already has a distinct advantage during winter. Metal roofing naturally sheds snow, helping reduce buildup and preventing excessive weight from accumulating. However, this efficient shedding can also lead to snow sliding off in areas where you don’t want it to fall – such as walkways, driveways, landscaped spaces, or parking areas.
To control where snow lands and to evenly distribute weight evenly across the roof, we recommend installing snow rails on your metal roof.
What Are Snow Rails?
Snow rails, often called snow guards or snow stops, mount directly onto metal roofs to keep snow where it belongs and stop dangerous roof avalanches. They allow snow to melt gradually and safely, protecting lower roofs, gutters, and the areas below.
Why Snow Rails Matter
Here’s why they’re worth the investment:
- Help protect your gutters and eaves from heavy snow buildup or sudden releases
- Distributes snow loads evenly, reducing stress on the roof structure
- Prevent snow and ice from sliding onto walkways, driveways, parked vehicles or other high traffic areas
