Hello,
We have a WINNER! We are happy to announce that Guido Morandin of Work Monster, Inc. in Canada is the winner of the S-5! Snow Guard Success Story Contest! The Work Monster project features S-5! VersaBracket™and ColorGard®. As the winner, Guido of Work Monster will receive the 10.8V Panasonic Mechanical Pulse Tool Kit.
According to Mr. Morandin, massive ice rake [sheet metal snow guard] failure is common in Northern Ontario. After tiring of “supplying customers with improper ice guard systems,” he discovered S-5!
Just this year, Morandin and his team “witnessed a massive ice retention collapse, where these devices would literally fold under the wet snow on the roof”. Morandin said, “None of our S-5 failed, especially with the [SnoClips], they held all day long, night after night, and let the snow dissipate underneath them”. Read more about Work Monster's project here.
Thank you to all who entered!

CONSTRUCTION IN FOCUS MAGAZINE
Rob Haddock recently sat down for an engaging interview to discuss the lasting impact S-5! Metal Roof Innovations has had on the industry. He walks the reader through the history of his company from wooden prototypes to the collection of over 50 U.S. and foreign patents the company holds.
Haddock explains the worldwide presence of S-5! spanning from the Oslo Opera House to Wal-Mart Distribution Centers, Fed-Ex facilities, IKEA, Costco, Google, Apple, and others. These facilities have a variety of rooftop attachments (e.g. solar arrays, wind clamps, snow retention, fall-protection and more) securely and safely attached with S-5! clamps and brackets. Combine this with 27 years of experience on over two million roofs worldwide and without a single documented failure of any products or systems, and it is clear why S-5! remains the leader in metal roof attachment solutions.
