Adaptable and Accommodating to Any Roofing System
Seasoned visitors to more remote areas in the Alps instantly will recognize rocks and logs on the roofs as a fairly standard, primitive system to control the snow. Indigenous people knew that during frigid Alpine winters, the more snow you had on your roof, the warmer your home. They prevented snow avalanches and enjoyed an instantly warmer house! The basic principles remain the same today. Roof avalanches damage property, vehicles and can be especially dangerous to people. Effective snow abatement systems now use snow hooks, logs, fences and accessories to manage the snow load on your roof. This energy-efficient insulation also serves as a protection to those who walk through the doors. If you’re snowed in – that might be a good thing.
