Standing seam · Screw-down · One right answer
Standing seam roofs take adhesive snow guards or clamp-on SnoBar® rails — nothing pierces the panel, so the roof warranty stays intact. Screw-down (exposed-fastener) roofs take gasketed screw-down guards or bolt-through rails anchored into the purlins. Both ship from Paris, Ontario in Canadian dollars, duty-free.
Raised seams, hidden fasteners. Adhesive guards bond to the panel flat with SB-190 structural adhesive; SnoBar® rails clamp the seam with nylon-tipped set screws. Either way, the panel — and its warranty — stays untouched.
Clear polycarbonate guards with SB-190 adhesive included — near-invisible on the panel. Warm-weather install.
Continuous 1.8 m (6 ft) rail, stainless seam clamps. The step up for heavier loads and longer runs.
Two rails for snowbelt regions, long rafter runs and commercial roofs — maximum hold, still no penetrations.
Exposed-fastener panels (PBR, AG panel, R-panel, corrugated) already have screws through the metal — so snow guards fasten the same way, with gaskets and sealed washers into the purlins. Mechanical hold from day one, any season.
The same clear Deuce guard, fastened with screws instead of adhesive — install in any season.
3M peel-and-stick base plus mechanical screws — double attachment for exposed-fastener roofs.
Stainless steel guards with screws and gasket tape included — the metal-pad workhorse for screw-down roofs.
Continuous rail on gasketed brackets, anchored into purlins — bracket spacing matched to your panel flat.
High-load double-rail retention for exposed-fastener and ribbed profiles in serious snow country.
