Slate Roof Snow Guards
In the case of slate roofing, the guards need to be the right shape and have the correct attachment. While snow guards are available in pad, bar/pipe or rail style, the bar/pipe type of snow guard is the most recommended. These snow guards are the ideal barricade system for large snow pieces and ice chunks falling in an avalanche on any unsuspecting passerby. However, if you are trying to decide what options are the best slate snow guards, be sure to contact the experienced and knowledgeable professionals at Hawkins Roofing.
Like all other roofs, snow and ice melt can run off of your slate roof in Massachusetts creating a hazard for all who pass beneath it.

There are many great reasons to choose slate roofing in Massachusetts. Slate is very a energy-efficient material. Because it is very dense, it can help keep your home cooler in the summer and in the winter, the heavy, dense slate material helps prevent warm air from escaping. In both cases, slate helps you save on your heating and cooling bills.
As a natural stone product, slate is completely fire resistant, unlike asphalt shingles and other such products. A slate roof will resist high heat and fire. Slate is a naturally-occurring material and requires very little processing, unlike other products like asphalt shingle roofing and metal roofing. This makes it more environmentally-friendly.
