Is your roof ready for the winter?
Before snow falls, it is the time to check the condition of your roof safety products. Carrying the Finnish Key Flag symbol, Pisko products are a wise choice – easy to install, designed for demanding Arctic conditions, and a safe and durable solution for decades to come.
Did you know that the owner of a property is liable for guaranteeing hazard-free conditions to those moving on the roof as well as near the buildings? The safety of climbing onto the roof must always be ensured, whether the intention is to sweep the chimney or clean the eaves. Likewise, it is extremely important to make sure that snow and ice accumulating on the roof cannot fall in an uncontrolled way, causing hazardous situations.
According to a survey conducted by the Finnish association of chimney sweeps, almost one-third of residential buildings have issues with roof safety. With regard to holiday homes, the situation is even worse.
TONS OF SNOW AND ICE
Snow guards are used to prevent dangerous situations that can be caused by snow and ice falling from the roof. With correctly dimensioned guards, snow can be managed and it will not suddenly fall onto people, parked cars or plants. Snow guards also protect structures installed on the roof.
Snow guards should always be used on roofs with a roof pitch of 1:8 or more. The snow guards are positioned as close to the eaves as possible so that the load of the snow is directed towards load-bearing structures. Snow guards must be fitted throughout the length of the eaves. In the conditions of Finland, intermittent snow guards are, in the worst case, subjected to a high load caused by all of the ice and snow throughout the pane. A three-meter snow guard with four brackets, for example, cannot endure the weight of several tons when the mass of snow and ice moves. It is also necessary to make sure that excess snow loads are removed from the roof.
Pisko roof safety products have separate brackets for each roof type, providing the maximum strength and functionality. Our products come with a technical warranty for 50 years, and we carry out stringent tests to make sure that they endure significantly more than the minimum requirements. Pisko also always pleases the eye, all products can be supplied in the color of your roof.
In addition to snow guard pipes, an eaves guard can also be fitted, for instance. An eaves guard is particularly well suited for public locations when no snow or ice whatsoever can be allowed to fall off the roof.
