Metal Roof Snow Load Ontario — ROOFNOW™ Guide

Proper attic ventilation is essential for winter roof performance in Ontario. Heavy snow, ice formation, and freeze–thaw cycles place significant stress on roofing systems. Armadura® Metal Roofing, combined with correct attic airflow, provides stable winter protection against moisture, temperature imbalance, and structural stress.

How Snow Load Affects Ontario Homes

Snow accumulation increases weight on a roof, but the greater threat is the impact of uneven melting caused by poor ventilation. Warm attic air melts snow at the peak, which then refreezes at the eaves and forms ice dams. These dams trap water and cause major winter leaks. Learn more at ROOFNOW™ Knowledge Center.
