What about ice prevention and snow retention with Sierra Steeltiles?

Weathering steel roofing is often used in snow country, and Sierra Steeltiles are renowned for braving the heaviest winters in Kirkwood, California for almost 50 years. Kirkwood’s average snowfall is 500” per season and skiers, homeowners, and contractors know it’s notorious as one of the heaviest ice and snowfall areas in America.
While Weathering Steel demonstrates greater friction against snow sliding compared to painted and other bare metal roofing, it can still experience ice and snow shedding. Where falling ice and snow present a safety hazard property owners should consider integrating an engineered snow retention device, along with an ice melt system, to minimize unsafe ice and snow conditions. More information on patented roof ice melt systems can be found at Summit Ice Melt Systems.
To provide even greater convenience and safety one may consider adding heated gutters and downspouts. Using heater cables extended from the roof ice melt system, they promote the safe disposal of the meltwater. A snow retention system, combined with a roof ice melt system and heated gutters and downspouts will provide the maximum safety and comfort in winter conditions, and also minimize the potential staining of runoff from the Weathering Steel.
