Are you planning to replace your roof? Has it suffered from wear and tear, or is it time to modernize? Either way, many decisions are on the horizon. You might have noticed a common theme among asphalt, metal and eco-friendly roofing design trends of 2022: color. Within each trend are an amazing variety of color choices to complement your home. Rooftop snow and ice management could be a consideration for you, too. You might be interested to learn how snow guards can protect your egress points and landscape from rooftop avalanching snow and ice. But will snow guards play well with your aesthetic? Fortunately, snow guard design has kept up with modern roofing trends. Here’s one best-selling snow guard for 20 roof types you can embrace for its design innovation, color options and finishes.
Design Innovation
Alpine SnowGuards’ innovated Fusion-Guard to be a “hybrid” snow guard, with the minimalist look of pad-style that can accommodate optional rods. The strap length can be custom cut and tucks securely under your roof shingle. Stiffening ribs on the front of the pad add rigidity and strength while allowing the optional rods to sit static. This flexibility of converting to pipe-style if and when you choose does not compromise the overall appearance of the snow guard.
Color Options & Finishes
The word is that the top trending roof shingle colors of 2022 are hues of brown, blue, green, and off-white. With 192 powder coat colors to choose from, Alpine can color match your snow guards for an even more discreet look. We custom powder coat too – in-house for increased efficiency. Check out all the RAL Tiger Drylac Color Options. Of course, Fusion-Guard is available in mill finish (aluminum, stainless steel, red brass) and pre-powder coated dark bronze (aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized cold rolled steel) to satisfy those with an industrial aesthetic, too.
