S-5! ColorGard Snow Retention
ColorGard for Standing Seam
S-5! ColorGard system for standing seam roofing is truly the industry's best snow retention solution. S-5! clamps attach directly to standing seam panel seams without penetrating the roof panels.
Competing systems are much more invasive to the metal panels. Some physically penetrate the panel while others are attached to the panel surface with adhesive. It's important to realize that the panel finish warranty is voided under any applied adhesives.
ColorGard for Exposed Fastened
S-5!'s line of versatile and affordable brackets can be utilized on all McElroy Metal exposed-fastened metal roof profiles. CorruBracket™ is the perfect match for attaching ColorGard to corrugated roofs, while the VersaBracket™ 47 or 67 is the choice for all trapezoidal-shaped roofs.
S-5! Clamp or Bracket
An S-5! clamp or bracket is needed to attached the SnowGard system to the roof. S-5! has developed specific clamps for all McElroy Metal Standing Seam profiles. For exposed fastened panels, various brackets can be used. S-5! has created an online tool that shows S-5! clamps and brackets that can be used with specific McElroy Metal panels.
Punched Crossmember
A punched cross-member is used with standing seam applications. The member is slotted 4” (10.2 cm) on center to accommodate panel widths that are easily divisible by 4.
The punched cross-member is not recommended with exposed-fastened profiles.
The punched cross-member installs in 8’ lengths.
Splice
The splice component is designed to join adjacent ColorGard cross-members and maintain structural continuity. The splice also automatically provides for thermal linear expansion and contraction of the ColorGard assembly.
The splice component is included with the punched and unpunched crossmember.
SnoClip
The SnoClip is designed to minimize the migration of snow and ice beneath cross-members. The SnoClip is optional with user discretion but recommended on seam heights of 2” and greater. The SnoClip is assembled to the cross-member during installation.
This component is available in two sizes to accommodate various seam height dimensions.
SnapClip
The SnapClip performs the same function as SnoClip, but has two additional features. SnapClip may be retrofitted later to an existing assembly. It also screw-fastens to the cross-member, preventing its lateral migration.
