I’m not sure if we should feel embarrassed or not, but when we attended the Building & Energy Expo in Vienna in February, we completely forgot about this point... Maybe also because our area hasn’t been very affected by this in recent years.

Anyway... How have you approached snow guards for the roof, or how do you plan to handle it? The most important question for me is... Is it possible to have this installed afterwards?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much for the tip!

I am currently looking at the page in question, and besides the snow guards, there is also a combination of round timber and snow fence brackets. Is there a specific reason why you chose the snow guards?

Not just as decorative elements, but because they make sense for us. In winter, quite a bit of snow falls here, and with our roof pitch, snow guards are necessary to prevent snow slides from the roof. It’s simply a safety measure.

You don’t necessarily have to cover the entire roof with them; in some cases, it’s enough to install them only on the last few rows of tiles.

Thank you for your further response!

Yes, I assumed that these are not just decorative elements embedded in the bricks.

I also saw on the Tondach website that there is a different model depending on the roofing material. I will talk to our specialist and ask which option he would recommend.
