Most of our country has a harsh climate and snowy winters. Snow accumulates on roofs and can bring a lot of trouble. When an avalanche descends from the roof, not only the integrity of the surface can be damaged, but gutters and gutters can break. The worst thing is that people, children, animals, cars parked nearby can suffer from snow, the mass of which is more than 10 kg per 1 m2. And if the snow cover exceeds 20 cm, then its mass increases accordingly.
To avoid sad consequences, they install on the roofs that prevent snow from falling or dose it. For each roof, a different type of structure is selected, which depends on the material of the roof and the angle of inclination. If the angle of inclination is over 60 degrees, snow does not accumulate on it and does not linger.
Types of snow retainers
The main task of the structures is to hold the snow until it begins to melt. Melt water flows through the gutters into the drain and thus the roof is safely self-cleaning. All varieties of snow retainers can be classified into three groups: snow cutters, barriers and fences.
- Snow cutters. These include lattice and tubular structures that do not hold snow on the roof, but let the thawed cover pass in portions.
- Barriers. This includes yokes and corner structures. They completely hold the snow layers on the roof, preventing them from falling.
- Fencing. There are concrete, brick, metal and plastic.
The company "Rus" offers all types of structures, including its own design. They are installed on flat and pitched roofs. Various modifications of products are produced for roofs made of various materials: seam, flexible and metal tiles, corrugated board, etc. The products are reliable, aesthetic, strong and durable.
The design consists of tubular elements that serve as a fence, and pipes on support posts that serve to retain the snow cover.
The height of the products is from 60 to 120 cm.
The length of the sections is 2 and 3 m.
Material - black or galvanized metal with anti-corrosion coating.
Color - any of the RAL palette.
Thanks to these characteristics, fences can be selected for any roof. They will not look like an alien element on it, but will harmoniously complement, while performing the important task of snow retention.
Installation of any barrier structures is carried out in accordance with SNiPs and industry GOSTs.
