IceJax I Polycarbonate Snow Guard Canada
The IceJax I is a compact, clear polycarbonate snow guard built on the proven patented Snojax II design. Think of it as the miniature version of the IceJax II: same interchangeable flat-or-rib mounting concept and same virgin polycarbonate construction, in a smaller footprint sized for tighter panel layouts and lighter-duty retention. It mounts on flat areas as narrow as 3 inches or flips to straddle a small minor rib, and carries an ATI-reported screw-mounted value of 4,200 lbs. This listing is for the guard only. Screws, adhesive, and sealant are sold separately.

Canada-based supply • No cross-border duty surprises • Product guidance available for roof panel fit, spacing, and layout direction
Compact strength for standard roofs
IceJax I is designed for everyday metal roofing work where a smaller, lower-profile individual guard fits the panel better than an oversized one. Its reversible sides handle 3-inch flat areas or small minor ribs, making it a practical choice for residential and light-commercial snow retention.

What makes IceJax I different?
The IceJax I solves a problem a lot of buyers run into: they want the IceJax II design and material, but their panel does not have the wider flat area a larger guard needs, or the job simply does not call for a heavy-duty guard on every clip. The IceJax I keeps the same interchangeable flat-or-rib concept and the same UV-stabilized virgin polycarbonate, just in a smaller body that fits tighter panels and lighter-duty layouts.
For Canadian metal roofing projects, fit matters as much as raw strength. A guard that actually seats on the panel flat, sheds water cleanly, and is sized for the spacing you are running will outperform an oversized guard that was never meant for that panel. The IceJax I is built to fit the common 36-inch panels with three 12-inch flats or four 9-inch flats, plus standing seam panels with at least a 3-inch flat mounting area.
Key benefits of the IceJax I snow guard
- ATI-reported test values: up to 4,200 lbs screw-mounted and up to 500 lbs adhesive-mounted with Surebond SB-190.
- Fits tighter panel spacing: works on 36-inch panels with three 12-inch flats or four 9-inch flats, where a larger guard often will not seat properly.
- Reversible flat / rib sides: flat side down on a 3-inch flat surface, or flip the unit to straddle a small minor rib.
- Virgin UV-stabilized polycarbonate: roughly 30 times stronger than acrylic, made in the USA, and stabilized to resist becoming brittle in the sun.
- Nearly invisible: clear polycarbonate preserves the look of the roof instead of dotting it with bulky hardware.
- Two molded starter points per side: near the face for clean, repeatable mechanical fastening.
- Canada-focused buying advantage: stocked for Canadian customers without the usual cross-border duty hassle.

When IceJax I makes sense on a project
Tighter 9-inch panel layouts
A smaller guard that actually fits the flat is better than forcing an oversized one.
- Fits 36-inch panels with four 9-inch flats where a 5-inch guard does not seat well.
- Also fits the common three 12-inch flat layout.
- Reversible side lets it straddle a small minor rib when needed.
Residential and light-commercial
Right-sized retention for everyday roofs without overbuilding every clip.
- Lower-profile face keeps the roof looking clean.
- Clear polycarbonate stays nearly invisible from the ground.
- Economical per-guard cost for larger pattern counts.
Adhesive-friendly installs
A practical choice for standing seam where screws are not an option.
- Adhesive-mount with Surebond SB-190 on standing seam panels.
- About 20–25 IceJax I guards per tube of SB-190.
- Allow roughly 28 days at 50°F for the adhesive to fully cure.
IceJax I vs IceJax II: which fits your roof?
Both share the same design family, material, and reversible mounting concept. The difference is size and load, so the right pick comes down to your panel flat and how demanding the snow zone is.
| Comparison point | IceJax I | IceJax II |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | Compact, lower-profile guard | Larger, heavier-duty guard |
| Flat mounting area | 3 inches and wider | 5 inches and wider |
| Tighter 9-inch flats | Fits four 9-inch flats | Not recommended for 9-inch spacing |
| Screw-mounted test value | 4,200 lbs | 6,388 lbs |
| Adhesive-mounted test value | Up to 500 lbs | 1,561 lbs |
| Typical use | Residential and light-commercial, tighter panels | Higher-load zones, wider flats, commercial work |

Frequently asked questions about IceJax I
What is included with the IceJax I?
This product listing is for the guard only. Screws, adhesive, and sealant are sold separately.
What roof types can the IceJax I be used on?
It fits most 36-inch metal panels with three 12-inch flats or four 9-inch flats, and most standing seam floating panels with at least a 3-inch flat mounting area. The flat side mounts on a 3-inch flat surface, or you can flip the unit to straddle a small minor rib.
Can I use IceJax I on a 9-inch panel layout?
Yes. Unlike the larger IceJax II, the IceJax I is sized to fit the four 9-inch flat layout common on many 36-inch panels, which is one of the main reasons buyers choose it over the bigger guard.
What does the 4,200 lb value refer to?
That is the reported ATI screw-mounted test value, measured under simulated snow loading applied to the face of the guard. It is a useful product benchmark, but it does not replace proper layout design or roof-specific engineering.
How many IceJax I guards can I glue with one tube of SB-190?
Approximately 20 to 25 IceJax I guards per tube of Surebond SB-190. Plan for the adhesive to take roughly 28 days at 50°F to reach a full cure before relying on the bond.
Should I choose the IceJax I or the IceJax II?
Choose the IceJax I for tighter panels, 3-inch flats, 9-inch flat layouts, and standard residential or light-commercial retention. Step up to the IceJax II when you have a 5-inch or wider flat and need the higher published load values for a more demanding snow zone.
Can Canada Snow Guards help with layout guidance?
Yes. Send your panel type, rib spacing, roof dimensions, pitch, and project location and we can help guide product selection and layout direction.
