TRA-Mage - Snow Brackets or Snow Guards A & B for Concrete Tile

At TRA-Mage, our snow brackets� or snow guards are engineered from the fail point of the roof system. Through proper testing and research, we have developed unique engineered charts. These charts calculate the number of snow brackets or snow guards required and their correct distribution as provided in a roofing square layout based on the roof surface type, sheathing type and thickness, snow load, and roof slope. Brackets are available in copper, aluminum, paintlock steel, and painted steel.
