Snow Guards for Synthetic Slate Roofs

ORIMA LE5 snow guards are compatible with synthetic slate and composite roofing systems, including:

DaVinci Roofscapes (Bellaforté, Multi-Width, Single-Width)
EcoStar Majestic Slate
Euroshield rubber slate and shake
Brava Old World Slate
Enviroshake and Enviroslate
CertainTeed Symphony

Synthetic slate sheds snow the same way natural slate does — a smooth, hard surface that releases accumulated snow suddenly during freeze-thaw cycles. Snow retention is critical to protect entries, walkways, and landscaping below, and to prevent damage to the tiles at the eave.

LE5 attaches during roofing where the roof assembly allows, preserving the manufacturer warranty. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific synthetic slate product and installation method.

Additional options

With an additional snow fence, you do not need to worry about snow avalanching on playgrounds, parking spaces or entrances near the building. With such additional snow stop, you also protect skylights, vent exhausts and chimneys as well as other structures that require special roof protection from precipitations.

This extra snow hold slightly hovers over the roof surface and prevents snow and ice from sliding under the pipe snow guard.

• Fasten the fasteners to the auxiliary batten 50x100 with two 7x50 srcews (7).

• Maximum spacing of the fasteners is 1.2 m
• Pipe overhang of the fastener max. 15 cm.

• The recommended installation site of the snow guards is directly above the wall or higher. If installed closer to the eaves, it mustbe ensured that the structures can carry the weight of the snow.

SNOW RETENTION SYSTEM

SNOW GUARDS CALCULATION

Download PDF

Snow guards must be installed along the entire length of the roof:

Even distribution of snow load over the roof
Protection against snow falling along the entire length of the roof

The maximum distance between the brackets of snow guards is 1.2 m.
Snow guards withstand a snow load of 500 kg/m (5 kN/m), each bracket can withstand a load of 300 kg (based on static tests according to Swedish standard SS 831367).

Snow retention system is installed above the load-bearing wall or higher. When installing snow retention close to the eaves, it is important to make sure that the structure can withstand the possible load.

Snow guards are installed on each slope of multi-level roofs

CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE SNOW RETENTION SYSTEM

Protection along the full roof length

Excessive snow load can lead to serious damage to the roof structure and injury!

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING SHORT LINES OF SNOW GUARDS

With this kind of installation, brackets load can exceed the calculated indicators by more than 4 times (up to 2000 kg).

According to the estimates in the table, long slopes may require installation of several rows of snow guards.

Calculation example:

The roof slope is 1:1,5 (~33°)

Installation of one row of snow guards, if the distance from the snow guard to the ridge does not exceed 6.8 m

If the roof slope is longer, a second row of snow guards is installed at the level of half the slope length, but not more than 6.8 m between the lines of snow retention system.

Distance to snow retention system at the maximum 1.2m distance between brackets

Snow guards are manufactured according to SS 831335: 2014 and are tested with a snow load of 5 kN/m

If the actual snow load on the roof exceeds the calculated values, you should additionally remove the excessive snow.
