The Importance of Snow Retention Systems in Cold Climates

December 4, 2023

At B&D Architectural Metals LLC, we understand that the safety and security of your property are paramount. That's why we provide a range of services, including the installation of snow retention systems. But why are these systems so important, particularly in cold climates? Let's delve into the details.


Understanding Snow Retention Systems

Snow retention systems are designed to hold back the snow on your roof, preventing it from sliding off in large amounts. They essentially act as a barrier, allowing the snow to melt and drain off slowly, reducing the risk of dangerous snow avalanches off your roof. These systems are a necessity for properties in regions that experience heavy snowfall.


Why Snow Retention Systems are Crucial


1. Protection Against Property Damage

A sudden release of snow can cause significant damage to the property below. This includes your landscaping, HVAC units, cars, or even your home's foundation. Installing a snow retention system can help prevent such incidents, protecting your property from potentially costly repairs.


2. Enhancing Safety

A roof avalanche is not just damaging, but it can also be potentially dangerous. It poses a risk to anyone near the building during the snow slide. Snow retention systems can significantly reduce this risk, making your property safer for everyone.


3. Preventing Ice Damming

Ice dams can form when snow melts, flows down your roof, and then refreezes near the edge. This can lead to water seeping into your home and causing substantial damage. A snow retention system can prevent such scenarios by allowing the snow to melt and drain off slowly.
