Snow On Roof Of Rv

Snow roof coating for rv.

Snow on roof of rv.

It is typically an elastomeric coating that can adhere to metal aluminum granulated rolled roofing and other roofing systems. The rv is 8 wide so it can be 250 pounds per running foot if 1 foot of water is on the roof. The water can start to open up seams on your roof. Scraping snow off the rv roof is a headache but not as much as an interior leak.

A snow seal is a valuable roof coating that can offer a shield to your roofing system against the elements. This would be equal to about 12 feet of fluffy snow. After that you re on your own and had better start checking for leaks when things thaw out. You can use a snow roof coating for commercial projects too.

The ice buildup can be the worst damage your rv could endure. Melting snow leads to water damage. Concentrate on removing the snow but leave any ice buildup alone. By breaking up ice you will also disturb the seam sealer that is preventing leaks at any seams or joints.

If the snow is not removed the snow acts like an insulator and starts to melt the ice under the snow. Using a hammer to break it up will cause more harm than good. Whenever neurotic people like me think to ask this question northwood will tell them that 2 is an acceptable load for the roof of any rv including theirs. It then can migrate throughout your rv causing serious structural and cosmetic damage.
