Snowgrips are a simple yet innovative aluminum device which are fitted to the roof of a building. They prevent large quantities of snow sliding from your roof and taking your gutters with it which in turn could cause damage to cars and passers by.
Snowgrips are fitted to the roof using a water tight rubber sealed tech-screw.
When the snow becomes compacted on a roof and then begins to thaw, the bulk of the snow will be held on the rood and allowed to drain away naturally into the gutter like normal rainwater.
In recent years Ireland was hit by numerous heavy snowfalls that we were not prepared for. As a result avalanches of snow sliding from the roofs of houses caused damage to properties which in turn created a surge in claims on household insurance policies and premium increases. In many cases show damage has now been excluded from policies or an increased excess has been introduced to discourage claims. The installation of snowgrips to your home is the most cost effective, preventative course of action you can take to avoid this issue in the future.
