Snow guards are another major aspect of Bruin's business. These products are sometimes referred to as snowguards or snow dogs, but regardless of name, the function is the same. Snow guards are designed primarily to prevent snow and ice from sliding from metal roofs. With more and more buildings, both residential and commercial, being constructed with steel panel roofs, aluminum panel roofs, copper panel roofs and similar materials, the potential for dangerous and damaging slides increases. Snowguards are typically fastened to the roof near the bottom of a sloped run. Correctly positioned and attached, Bruin's snow guards hold the snow and ice on the roof until it safely melts. Without snowguards, the likelihood of unpredictable slides is much greater. Often without snow dogs in place, cascading snow and ice present a very dangerous situation to persons who might be in the pathway of the sliding matter. And such slides are also quite damaging to gutters, shrubbery and other things that might be located beneath the eaves of a roof. In short, the installation of snowguard products is common sense insurance that reduces the potential for personal injury, property damage and liability claims.

Bruin's snow guards are inexpensive and durable. We have several standard snowguard styles that will fit nearly every roof style on the market. Our snow guards are made from cast aluminum so they will not rust. Snow guards are simple to attach with just one or two screws, neoprene washers and silicone sealant. If you're looking for something truly unique that will allow your home or building stand apart, we also offer custom snow guards. These can be cast from any alloy with which we work. Custom snowguards can be designed and manufactured to harmonize with an established architectural theme or design motif.

If you are a manufacturer of metal roofing panels or a distributor or installer of metal roofs, we also provide custom cast snow guards that will work perfectly with your particular products. Contact us to find out how quickly and inexpensively we can provide you with snowguards that match the seam profiles of your metal roofing panels. Snow guards are a way for you to add profit to your business, and at the same time, snowdogs provide a very sensible if not essential benefit to your customers. Because of our experience and flexible manufacturing methods, we are fairly unique in our industry in this ability to provide customized snow guards for the roofing industry.
