Snow Retention Solutions

(Snow Guards)

 

A roof avalanche can dump tons of snow onto anything in its path - damaging landscape, gutters, adjacent roofs, vehicles and cause injury or death to passers-by. S-5!’s snow retention systems dramatically reduce these risks associated with rooftop avalanches while maintaining the clean lines of the roof. No adhesive-mounted plastic snow guards to be found here! Our own load test failure data has shown it can take up to 10 plastic parts to equal the strength of just one row of our ColorGard® system.

Wind uplift can be quite dramatic, threatening to tear off a metal roof. S-5! WindClamps provide external seam reinforcement that helps:

  • Increase roof system wind uplift performance

  • Preserve rooftops
