Q: Is this snowguard good for a copper roof?

Asked by: Lella - 8/18/2021
A: Stainless Steel snow guards would not be suitable for copper roofs. You would need to look into purchasing copper snow guards that solder to the panel or bronze snow guards that clamp to the roof seam. This is not a product that we sell. Thank you for your interest in our products!
