Roof Mount Ice Blockers

The makers of snojax have come up with the perfect solution by designing a new revolutionary patent pending product call snowbreaker.

Roof mount ice blockers.

Ice and water protector sometimes also referred to as ice and water shield is a waterproof roof underlayment membrane developed to protect vulnerable areas on a roof from ice and water damage. The picture below is the ice dam that fell off my roof after melting from below. There are certain snow guards that are designed to fit this type of roof. This is good news because the snow guard fits on that seam with two prongs that are clamped on top of the seam using a simple tool such as pliers.

Snow guards are like corrals that mount on the edge of a roof. You see there are seams on a metal roof which is good news. They then have the option of putting dormers on the roof without damage to the valleys penetrations lower roofs. The bottom row was 12 from the bottom and the top row was 30 from the bottom.

Ice and water protectors sometimes called ice and snow shields in cold climates are made with polymer modified bitumen. Snow jax snow stops snow guards snow brackets snow blocks or snowguards and typically are installed on commercial metal roof buildings. The pointed edge reduces significant sheer load so it is an ideal peel and stick solution for a temporary method of attachment when the temperature requirements can not be met for the sb 190 adhesive attachment. This allows the snow to stay on while venting the roof system.

The slope that works best seems to be 5 12. They hold frozen precipitation in place causing the snow or ice to melt or slide off a portion of roof in small pieces rather than dangerous chunks. They also plan to use the snow as an insulation blanket and design a cold roof system to stop ice dam concerns at the eave. The snowbreaker 3m peel and stick uses pre attached 3m brand adhesive tape.

I ordered extra to have on hand for the future. What are snoblox snow guards. The roof melt tabs melt through the ice to the roof and then drains under the ice instead of backing up into the attic. Snow guards are snow and ice retention devices for pitched metal roofs.

As the snow and ice slides on the roof this cost effective product minimizes the danger by slicing the frozen precipitation into small pieces so it can safely come off the roof. Metal roof snow guards prevent the avalanche of frozen precipitation on sloped metal roofing located in winter climates. These melted the ice dam from below allowing water to drain off the roof. Even if you have a metal roof you are not doomed.
