Safely Direct Snow off Your Metal Roof With Snow Guards

Snow sliding off your roof can cause substantial damage to property, and even worse, potentially injure people below.

CATEGORIES

S-5-ColorGard

When snow accumulations begin to melt, the result can be catastrophic as the blanket of snow avalanches off the roof dumping tons of snow onto anything in its path. It can damage landscape, gutters, adjacent roofs, vehicles and cause injury or death to passers-by. All of S-5!’s snow retention systems dramatically reduce these risks associated with rooftop avalanches while maintaining the clean lines of the roof.

S-5-DualGard

S-5! DualPipe is a 1" diameter aluminum tube with a 1/8" wall engineered to work perfectly with the DualGard snow retention system, but can also be used with any other that requires a 1" pipe, including VersaGard.

S-5-VersaGard

VersaGard is compatible with almost any trapezoidal, exposed-fastened profile. No messy sealants to apply and no chance for leaks! VersaGard comes with factory-applied butyl sealant already in the base, and the S-5!®- reservoir conceals the sealant from UV exposure, preventing drying and cracks.

S-5-X-Gard

The NEX-2.0 pipe for X-Gard snow retention systems is a special tubular extrusion that offers light weight (0.56lbs per foot) and superior strength capable of spanning up to 48".This is the best option for both the X-Gard 1.0 and X-Gard 2.0 Brackets.

S-5-SnoRail/SnoFence

Metal Roof Systems That Reduce the Risk of Snow Sliding off Standing Seam and Copper Metal Roofs.

S-5 SnoBracket

Attaches to your IMP trapezoidal rib to allow snow guard installation without thermal bridging.

What Can You Do as a Building Owner to Help Reduce These Risks?
Use Engineered Metal Roof Snow Guards!
You may not be able to predict when a rooftop snow slide will occur, but you can help control how the snow melts off your roof. Snow retention systems increase the friction between the roof and the snow to retain it in place and allow it to evacuate in a controlled manner (thaw and sublimation). In addition, snow guards - also known as metal roof ice stops - help keep large amounts of ice from sliding off a metal roof all at once.

When selecting a snow rail design, it is critical that the system is engineered to resist the forces, which will try to tear it from its mounting. This is done by prudent science, math and testing, not by guesswork. Snow guards must have proven in-service and real-world testing to back them up.
