Snow guard

Protection for roof and surroundings

  • Three clamping positions; project-specific configuration
  • Modular extendable grilles for flexible adjustment
  • When properly designed and installed, snow guard systems and ice stoppers help reduce the risk of snow and ice sliding off the roof. The required configuration depends, among other factors, on snow load, roof pitch, roof geometry, and local requirements.
  • End caps cover the designated openings as specified in the installation instructions
  • Precisely fitting snow stoppers: directly matched to the tile model and easy to attach
  • Installation without modifying the tiles: No interference with the interlocking joints

Brick diversity for a Berlin industrial monument - Meyer-Holsen at the Friedrichshagen waterworks

A project like this doesn't come along every day: we supplied tiles that had to meet the highest aesthetic and technical requirements for the refurbishment of the roofs of the historic pumping machine houses A and B of the Friedrichshagen waterworks in Berlin in line with the preservation order.

The monument preservation authorities set clear specifications: Tile shape, cut length and, above all, a natural color play of three different shades of red were to match the original covering as closely as possible.

We supplied the entire roof area of approx. 3,200 m²:

  • Around 50,000 hollow tiles for the main roofs
  • around 7,500 Sankt Moritz tower tiles for the characteristic tower surfaces
  • approx. 3,500 Mönch-und-Nonne bricks with a hand-stroke look for battlements
  • as well as numerous shaped tiles, ridge and hip tiles for elaborate details

Why Meyer-Holsen?
👉 "The bricks came closest to the historical original - this was the only reason we were able to issue the tender with material specifications."
- Ina Paul, Site Manager, Berliner Wasserbetriebe

We are proud to contribute our expertise to the restoration of this unique building in keeping with its listed status.
