Screw-Down ColorBar® Snow Rail (Mill Finish Aluminum, 6′) — For Exposed-Fastener / R-Panel Roofs (Canada)
If you’re dealing with heavy snow slides on an exposed-fastener metal roof, a bar-style system is often the right move. The SnoBlox-SnoJax Screw-Down ColorBar is a 6-foot extruded aluminum snow rail designed for mechanically-fastened panels (commonly R-Panel / PBR) with 9″ to 12″ flats. It’s a clean, durable solution for protecting walkways, entries, vehicles, and landscaping from sudden snow-and-ice release. Canada-stocked shipping means fast delivery with no duties and no border delays. Note: For this product only, depending on stock availability, some components may ship from the United States.

Snow Retention for Exposed-Fastener Metal Roofs in Canada
Exposed-fastener panels (like R-Panel / PBR and similar profiles) can shed snow fast—especially after sun warms the roof surface. A screw-down snow rail helps create a controlled “catch” line so snow releases more gradually instead of sliding off in a single slab. For this product only, depending on stock availability, some components may ship from the United States.
Ideal For Canadian Roofs & Use Cases
- Warehouses, shops, and agricultural buildings with exposed-fastener roofing
- Entryways, sidewalks, loading areas where snow slide is a hazard
- Canadian regions with recurring freeze/thaw (Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, BC, Prairies, Atlantic Canada)
Not sure if your roof is 9″ or 12″ flats (or if you’ve got wood vs metal purlins)? Send a quick photo + panel measurements and we’ll confirm.
Made for Screw-Down Snow Rail Installation on Exposed-Fastener Panels
🔩 Screw-Down Brackets for Mechanically-Fastened Panels
Designed for exposed-fastener roof profiles where seam clamps aren’t applicable.
- Roof type: Exposed-fastener / mechanically fastened metal roofing
- Typical profiles: R-Panel / PBR style (verify your panel)
- Support: Bracket spacing varies by flat width + purlin type
📏 6′ Extruded Aluminum ColorBar (Mill Finish)
A clean, durable bar-style system that helps manage snow slide hazards.
- Length: 6 feet per section
- Finish: Mill aluminum
- Project look: Optional color strips or powder coating available
🎯 Snow Rail Protection for Entrances & High-Traffic Areas
Bar systems are commonly used above areas where sudden snow release creates risk.
- Use above: Doorways • sidewalks • drive lanes • loading zones
- Layout: Often installed in one or more rows (project-specific)
- Note: Snow retention isn’t 100%—site planning still matters
Bracket Spacing, Row Count & Layout Guidance for Canadian Snow Loads
Screw-down snow rails are only as good as the layout. Spacing and row count depend on your roof pitch, panel type, purlin structure, and snow load. If you’re in higher snow regions (or you’ve got critical pedestrian areas), multiple rows may be required. For this product only, depending on stock availability, some components may ship from the United States.
Common Bracket Spacing Starting Points
- 9″ panel flat: commonly paired with bracket spacing around every 18″ (varies by structure)
- 12″ panel flat: commonly paired with bracket spacing around every 12″ (varies by structure)
- Wood vs metal purlins: fasteners differ — match hardware to your substrate
If you want a quick recommendation, tell us your panel profile, roof pitch, and province and we’ll point you to a safe starting layout.

Screw-Down ColorBar FAQ for Canada
What roofs is the screw-down ColorBar designed for?
It’s designed for mechanically fastened / exposed-fastener metal roofs—commonly R-Panel style profiles. This model is typically used when clamp-style snow rails are not applicable. Send us a photo and panel measurement and we’ll confirm fit.
What comes with the 6′ kit?
Each kit includes a 6′ bar, mounting brackets, and installation hardware.
How do I choose bracket spacing (9″ vs 12″ flats, wood vs metal purlins)?
Spacing depends on your panel flat width and the structure beneath the roof (wood vs metal purlins). As a common example, 9″ flats are often paired with wider spacing (e.g., ~18″), while 12″ flats may use tighter spacing (e.g., ~12″), but your project conditions and snow load can change what’s appropriate. If you tell us your panel and region, we’ll point you to the correct option.
Can I colour-match this system?
Yes. Mill finish is standard, and many projects use optional 2″ color strips in the bar face channel or choose powder coating for a full colour match. Contact us with your panel colour for options.
Does it ship from Canada with no duties?
We ship from Canadian inventory whenever available for fast delivery with no duties and no border delays. For this product only, depending on stock availability, some components may ship from the United States.
Will snow rails stop 100% of snow and ice from coming off the roof?
No. Snow retention systems are designed to reduce sudden snow slides and help manage roof shedding, but no system can guarantee 100% retention in every condition. Site planning and safe placement still matter.
Confirm Panel Fit Before You Order
Send a roof photo + panel measurement and we’ll confirm compatibility and help with spacing + row layout for your province.
