Snow & Ice Management Services
At Architectural Copper & Sheet Metal Ltd., we understand the challenges that winter weather can bring to your property. Heavy snowfalls and ice buildup can pose significant risks to both your roof and the areas around your home or business. Our snow and ice management services are designed to protect your property from these hazards, offering custom solutions like snow guards and ice shields that help prevent damage and ensure the safety of your building.
Snow Guards Installation
Snow guards are an essential part of any roofing system in regions with heavy snowfall. These devices prevent large amounts of snow and ice from sliding off your roof all at once, which can cause damage to gutters, downspouts, and landscaping below. Sudden snow and ice slides can also pose a danger to people and vehicles around your property.
At Architectural Copper & Sheet Metal Ltd., we specialize in the design and installation of custom snow guards for copper, steel, and aluminum roofing systems. Our snow guards are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, crafted from high-quality materials like copper and metal to blend seamlessly with your roof’s design. We carefully assess the slope and structure of your roof to ensure optimal placement and effectiveness, giving you peace of mind during the winter months.
Ice and Water Shield Installation
In areas prone to ice buildup, an ice and water shield is a crucial element of your roofing system. This self-adhering membrane is applied beneath your roof covering, in areas like eaves, valleys, and around roof penetrations (e.g., chimneys and skylights), where ice dams are likely to form. Ice dams occur when snow melts, runs down the roof, and refreezes at the eaves, causing water to back up and potentially leak into your home or building.
Our ice and water shield installation provides an extra layer of waterproof protection, ensuring that your roof is prepared to handle the harshest winter conditions. By preventing ice and water from seeping into your roofing system, this shield extends the life of your roof and helps avoid costly repairs caused by leaks or structural damage.
Why Snow and Ice Management Is Important
Proper snow and ice management is essential for maintaining the safety and longevity of your roofing system. Here are a few reasons why these services are crucial, especially in regions with severe winter weather:
- Prevents Roof Damage: Heavy snow and ice accumulation can put significant stress on your roof, leading to potential damage or even collapse. Snow guards help distribute the weight of the snow evenly, reducing the risk of structural issues.
- Protects Gutters and Downspouts: Without snow guards, large chunks of snow and ice can slide off your roof, damaging your gutters and downspouts or pulling them away from your building. Proper snow management minimizes this risk.
- Increases Safety: Falling snow and ice can be dangerous for anyone walking near your home or building, as well as for parked cars or landscaping. Installing snow guards prevents these hazards and improves overall safety during the winter months.
- Prevents Ice Dams and Water Leaks: Ice dams are a common issue in areas with freezing temperatures. By installing ice and water shields, you can prevent water from backing up under your roof covering, which helps avoid leaks and water damage inside your property.
