The Problem
Ice Formation on building eaves causes a hazard
- Building owners hold liability
- Costly maintenance
- Snow Retention needed to ensure safety
Other Systems
Often fail due to improper design
- Sliding occurs around or under clip/bar system
- often times require heat cables for creating an efficient melt channel
- Additional ice forms on building eaves
SnowGrip
Doesn't require complex load calculations
- Sliding does not occur on the SnowGrip surface
- Doesn't require heat cables for efficient melting under the snowpack
- Less ice forms on building eaves
Client Review
We’re Snow Grip
Initiated by "old man" Wes Fontechio, this groundbreaking solution combats the peril of roof top avalanches . Through relentless dedication and teamwork, Wes, in partnership with architects and engineers, transformed his concept into a patented reality, reshaping winter roof safety.
With a commitment to innovation and a focus on both function and aesthetics, SnowGrip promises to transform the way we navigate the challenges of winter, ensuring safety and peace of mind with every installation.

Traditional snow retention systems have existed nearly as long as smooth-surfaced roofs have been discharging dangerous and damaging snow slides.
All of these systems are basically the same in that they secure some physical barrier onto the roof surface in a position to stop the sliding snowpack on its path to the dis-charge edge of the roof. While some are effective in stopping the most damaging and dangerous discharges,
most if not all fail to eliminate discharge
completely.
How does it work?
SNOWGRIP works by uniformly distributing the load of the snowpack to the entire roof surface and by keeping the snowpack in place on the roof. The process by which the SNOWGRIP system allows for safe and efficient snowmelt and runoff can be compared to how glaciers melt.
