The Snow Bird, a hybrid pad-style snow guard, was created to meet the snow retention needs of the ever-growing synthetic roofing tile market. Since its introduction in March 2021, the Snow Bird material offering has included galvanized steel, pre-powder coated dark bronze galvanized steel, brass, and custom powder-coated galvanized steel options. We are now happy to announce that the Snow Bird is also available in Copper-Plated Stainless Steel.
We understand the historic appeal of copper and know that when it’s paired with the historic design of the Snow Bird, you have a winning combination – a polished look, fit for the most discerning customer. Honoring our ambition to produce the best performing snow retention products on the market, adding a stainless-steel base metal with a copper-plate allowed us to maximize the strength of the snow guard while still maintaining an aesthetic that people love.
During in-house testing, we found that the stainless-steel Snow Bird can withstand up to 1000lbs of load on a single guard. The copper finish is equally durable, performing well in additional product testing. The high shine copper finish of the Snow Bird is achieved utilizing electroplating technology. A process which allows the snow guards to retain a patinaed copper finish – ready for decades on the roof surface.
The Copper-Plated Stainless Steel Snow Bird and all other Snow Bird models are in-stock and available for shipping immediately!
