Built for Canadian Winters
The SnoJax II pioneered adhesive-mount snow retention in 1985 and has been protecting Canadian metal roofs from Alberta to the Maritimes ever since. Its flat, forward-facing profile creates less roof stress than aggressive competing designs — critical in Canada's extreme freeze-thaw cycles where panel expansion and contraction punish poorly designed guards.

The Original. Proven Across Canada.
In 1985, SnoBlox-Snojax released the SnoJax II — the world's first polycarbonate snow guard designed specifically for adhesive mounting. Four decades later, it remains one of the most trusted pad-style snow guards on Canadian metal roofs from British Columbia's coastal snowbelts to Quebec's heavy-snow regions.
The flat, forward-facing design was engineered from the start to cause less roof stress, fewer failures, and fewer leaks than tall or aggressive competing options. For Canadian building owners dealing with months of snow load, repeated freeze-thaw cycling, and extreme temperature swings, this low-stress geometry is a proven advantage.
- Pioneered adhesive mounting: Purpose-built for Surebond SB-190 adhesive — no roof penetrations on standing seam panels
- Dual-face versatility: Flat side down on smooth surfaces or flip to straddle minor ribs and striations
- Low-profile design: Forward-facing geometry minimizes stress concentration and panel distortion
- Premium material: 100% virgin UV-stabilized polycarbonate, manufactured in the USA
- Mechanical fastening ready: Molded starter points on both sides for self-drilling screws
Why Forward-Facing Matters in Canada
Tall, aggressive snow guard profiles concentrate force at the mounting point — increasing the risk of panel denting, seal failure, and leaks. In Canada's harsh climate, where roofs endure months of sustained snow load and dozens of freeze-thaw cycles per season, the SnoJax II's low, forward-facing design distributes load across the mounting surface instead of punishing it.

Where Canadian Roofers Install the SnoJax II
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
The original adhesive-mount application. SB-190 bonds directly to floating panels — no penetrations, no leaks. Ideal for Canadian standing seam roofs where thermal cycling demands non-penetrating attachment.
Screw-Down R-Panel & PBR
Mechanically fasten with #14 screws on agricultural buildings, post-frame structures, and commercial metal roofs across rural Canada. Flip to straddle minor ribs or mount flat.
Canadian Homes & Light Commercial
Clear polycarbonate stays virtually invisible on the roofline — popular on metal-roofed homes in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and BC where aesthetics matter as much as snow retention.
SnoJax II Snow Guard FAQ — Canada
What makes the SnoJax II different from other polycarbonate snow guards?
The SnoJax II was the world's first polycarbonate snow guard designed for adhesive mounting, released in 1985. Its flat, forward-facing profile was purpose-engineered to reduce roof stress, failures, and leaks — a design philosophy that most competitors still haven't adopted. It's made from 100% virgin UV-stabilized polycarbonate in the USA, backed by independent ATI lab testing, and available in Canada through our authorized Ontario-based distributorship with no cross-border fees.
Can I use screws instead of adhesive on the SnoJax II?
Yes. The SnoJax II supports both mounting methods. For non-floating mechanically fastened roofs, use two #14 non-corrosive screws with NovaFlex MR-150 sealant — the guard has molded starter points on both sides. For standing seam floating panels, adhere with Surebond SB-190. Never use SB-190 as a sealant under screw-fastened guards.
Do I need to pre-drill before installing with screws?
Not necessarily. The SnoJax II has two molded starter points near the face of the guard. When using self-tapping screws like Master Grippers (2" for wood purlins) or Master Drillers (1.5" for metal purlins), pre-drilling is optional but can be helpful. The starter points guide the screw into position without splitting the polycarbonate.
How does the dual-face design work?
The SnoJax II has two distinct mounting faces. Place the flat side down on any smooth surface with at least 5.25 inches of flat area. If your panel has minor ribs or striations, simply flip the guard over to straddle them. Always keep the mounting surface in front of the snow — this is critical for proper load distribution and long-term performance.
Can I install snow guards only above my doorway or chimney?
No. Placement only in isolated areas such as chimneys, doorways, vents, HVAC systems, or partial roof sections is never recommended. A proper snow retention system must span the entire roof length for maximum weight distribution and frequently requires multiple rows up the slope. Isolated placement overloads the guards and leads to failure regardless of product strength.
How long does the SB-190 adhesive take to cure?
Surebond SB-190 requires approximately 28 days to fully cure at 50°F (10°C). Warmer temperatures will accelerate curing. For Canadian installations, plan to install in late summer or early fall — the adhesive must fully cure before snow season. In most Canadian provinces, this means installing by mid-September at the latest. One tube of SB-190 typically installs about 10 SnoJax II guards.
Will the clear SnoJax II turn yellow over time?
The UV-stabilized virgin polycarbonate is engineered to resist ambering — even under Canada's intense summer UV and harsh winter conditions. Over many years in service, the guards may lose some optical clarity, but yellowing is rare. This is a direct result of using premium 100% virgin polycarbonate manufactured in the USA — cheaper imported or recycled materials degrade far more quickly in Canadian climates.
Where can I buy SnoJax II snow guards in Canada?
Canada Snow Guards is the authorized Canadian distributor for the full SnoBlox-Snojax product line, including the SnoJax II. We ship from Paris, Ontario in Canadian dollars with no duties, no cross-border fees, and no currency conversion hassles. Whether you're a homeowner in Alberta, a contractor in Ontario, or a commercial roofer in Quebec, you get domestic shipping rates and Canadian customer support at 437-475-2066.
How does the SnoJax II perform in heavy Canadian snow loads?
The SnoJax II is rated to 3,750 lbs screw-mounted and 700 lbs adhesive-mounted — more than sufficient for most Canadian residential and light commercial applications. For regions with ground snow loads exceeding 45 psf (common in parts of BC, Quebec, and Northern Ontario), SnoBlox-Snojax recommends upgrading to a snow rail system like the SnoBar or ColorBar. Contact us for a layout recommendation based on your specific location and roof dimensions.
