SAMAC Snowguard & Brackets provide a complete roof safety system designed to prevent snow, ice, and loose roof tiles from slipping off pitched roofs. Commonly installed at eaves level, particularly above entrances, walkways, and gutters, these systems help protect people, property, and drainage systems from falling debris—making them essential for exposed or higher-risk roof areas.
The system consists of galvanised steel snowguard rails (typically supplied in 2 metre lengths) combined with a range of bracket types to suit different roof constructions. Bracket options include half round (for fixing behind gutters), ogee (for fixing in front of gutters), and V-type (for fixing directly to rafters or roof structure), allowing flexibility across slate, tile, and traditional roofing applications. Each installation typically requires 2–3 brackets per 2m length, ensuring secure load distribution and long-term performance in harsh weather conditions.
