Snow Guards & Snow Rails

Snow guards and snow rails help reduce the risk of snow and ice sliding off metal roofs, protecting people, vehicles, landscaping, gutters, and property below.

Snow Retention Systems for Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are durable and long-lasting, but snow and ice can slide quickly from sloped metal roofing in winter conditions. Snow guards and snow rails help hold snow in place so it can melt and release more gradually instead of falling in large sheets.

ACR Metal Roofing & Siding Distributors supplies premium snow guards and rail systems for different metal roof types, including Snow Defender products, S-5 Snow Rail / ColorGard®, EDCO Snow Gem, and additional snow guard options.
