What's New?
- S-5 has enhanced their flagship snow guard system with customer-inspired design upgrades to make installation faster and simpler.
- An innovative internal splice has eliminated the need for preassembly and in-field cutting. The VersaClip™ can now be installed directly over all splices – drastically reducing your time on the roof.
- The result? A true lay-and-play system engineered for both standing seam and exposed-fastened roof profiles.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between punched and unpunched crossmembers?
A: Punched bars are pre-slotted every 4", while unpunched require VersaClip-2.0 for flexible seam spacing.
Q: Do crossmembers include splices?
A: Yes. Each ColorGard 2.0 crossmember includes one internal splice for structural continuity.
Q: When should I use SnoClip II-2.0 vs. SnoClip III-2.0?
A: Use SnoClip II-2.0 for seams 1"–1-3/4"; use SnoClip III-2.0 for seams 2"–3-1/4".
Q: What role does the ColorStrip play?
A: The ColorStrip provides long-term color matching and is inserted into the crossmember slot.
Q: Is VersaClip-2.0 required for both crossmember types?
A: No. VersaClip-2.0 is only used with unpunched crossmembers; punched bars do not require clips.
