Snow retention systems

Advantages of our systems for metal roofs

Meinhard Kling was the first developer of the clamp system for snow retention brackets
  1. The system enables the sheets to expand without causing damage.
  2. The system is quick and easy to install.
  3. The entire roof can be walked on.
  4. The roof skin is stabilised against gusts and eddies of wind.
  5. The system prevents solid planks of snow from forming and also prevents avalanches.

General information on snow retention

  • The State building regulations can require that action is taken in order to prevent snow and ice from falling off roofs.
  • Snow loading zones are regulated according to DIN 1055-5 “Effects on bearing elements” Part 5 - Snow and ice loads.
  • In the case of metal roofs, tube systems arranged in several rows are preferred. These are attached to the longitudinal ribs of the roof sheets with clamping plates.
  • We recommend inserting ice retainers in the middle of the sheets. These are fixed between the snow retention tubes and the surface of the metal.
