New Alpine Hybrid Snow Guards

Alpine Snow Guards has introduced 2 new “hybrid” guards to their product offering. Complementing their popular products, the new guards aim to ease the disruptive supply chain that is the snow guard industry. If you are struggling to find your Berger Pro100’s in stock, consider proposing these Alpine alternatives.

What is a Hybrid Snow Guard?

A Hybrid snow guard has the ability to function as a simple pad style snow guard as well as a full rail system if desired. The new Alpine Snow Bird and Alpine Fusion Snow Guards can be installed on a new roof, or easily hooked to an existing nail under the shingle/slate as a retrofit.

Selling snow guards, we learn that often times the installer or homeowner will ignore recommendations on snow guard layout and just go with pad-style guards in a simple layout. Often times, this is not in sufficient quantity. The hybrid aspect of these models means that you can see how they function for a winter and then add the rail system if it is certainly needed.
