In this MetalTalk™ Karen Edwards is joined by TRA Snow and Sun Business Development Manager Mindy Dahlquist to discuss the risks associated with snow movement on metal roofs and the critical measures for ensuring safety and longevity. Snow sliding off metal roofs can lead to extensive damage, impacting gutters and lower roofs and even nearby structures like decks and fencing. Mindy will talk about the essentials of selecting the right snow retention systems and key engineering factors like roof slope, sheathing type, snow load and rib height. Join us while we share the insights needed to protect life and property, boost safety and extend the lifespan of metal roofs.
