The ICE S12 snow guard in 48 oz copper is a premium, heavy‑duty snow‑retention solution designed for new installations on natural or synthetic wood shake and slate roofing systems. Its robust vertical contact face creates a reliable barrier, helping keep snow and ice in place and reducing sudden rooftop slides that can damage gutters, walkways, vehicles, landscaping, and anything below.
Crafted from thick 48 oz copper, the S12 delivers exceptional durability and long‑term weather performance. Over time, the copper naturally develops a rich patina, creating a high‑end architectural aesthetic that pairs perfectly with copper flashing, accents, and premium roofing materials.
Installation is secure and straightforward using five ring‑shank nails or three #10 screws for a solid connection to the roof sheathing.
