Snow Guards For Inland Building Systems Standing Seam Metal Roof Panels

See the Snow Guards Compatibility Chart for Inland Building Systems Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panels.

Inland Building Systems standing seam metal roofing panels often require non-penetrating snow retention systems designed around specific panel configurations. Below are compatible SnoBlox-Snojax snow guard and snow retention products with key considerations for these roof profiles.

TS-324 Panel

The TS-324 Standing Seam Roof System is a reliable and cost-effective roofing solution designed to perform well in various weather conditions. Its 3-inch seam height and 24-inch panel width protect against wind and other elements. Its patented seam technology ensures durability in harsh environments, making it suitable for various construction projects. One of the key advantages of the TS-324 is its adaptability. You can customize it for different weather zones using one of three seaming shapes created on-site. This flexibility allows for precise adjustments to meet specific wind-loading needs without requiring extra materials or changes to panel placements, resulting in a quicker installation process and lower costs. The panels are made from standard 24-gauge material and come in finishes like Galvalume®, Ceram-A-Star® 950, and Fluropon® 70% Kynar, which provide durability and a long-lasting appearance. The system is certified for various standards, ensuring it meets strict requirements for wind uplift and resistance to air and water. The TS-324 offers three seaming options to tackle different environmental challenges. The Roll-and-Lock seam is hand-seamed at each clip for excellent water resistance. The Triple-Lock seam, created with an electric seamer, provides extra protection for severe conditions. The Quadri-Lock seam offers even greater strength for high wind areas, handling uplift loads from 64 to 120 PSF. See the Snow Guards Compatibility Chart for Inland Building Systems TS-324 Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panels.

TS-324 panels accept suitable adhesive-mounted polycarbonate guards, including EcoJax, SnoBlox Deuce, IceJax I, IceJax II, SnoBlox Ace, SnoJax II, and SnowBreaker. Follow each product’s attachment instructions and confirm roof material, finish compatibility, and available bonding area. Compatible clamp-on options include SnoCleat RC and RCT, SnoBar and ColorBar standing seam rails, RCB-3 systems, and 2-bar systems. Test-fit the specified clamp on the actual seam before placing a full order. Never install screw-down snow guards through standing seam panels. For curved roofs, confirm that the selected system fits the seam and mounting surface.

VS-216 Panel

The VS-216 standing seam panel system offers excellent protection against wind and weather for various roof loading conditions. It comes in 22 or 24-gauge steel with a 16-inch panel width and is available in durable finishes like Galvalume Plus and Kynar 500. In response to new wind uplift resistance standards, the VS-216 uses patented technology that exceeds these requirements, ensuring strong wind and water resistance while maintaining an attractive design. The system features the TripleLok™ seam, created with an electric seamer, allowing a wind uplift capacity of 48 psf. This seam design protects against severe winds and keeps the sealant secure. For areas with very high winds, such as coastal regions, the QuadLok™ seam option offers even greater uplift resistance without needing external clamps or brackets. The panels include a 360-degree Pittsburgh Seam, securely locked together using specialized electric seamers exclusive to Inland Buildings. They are attached to the roof's secondary members with clips at each purlin, joist, and sub-purlin. The factory-notched ends allow for flexible installation from either side. With finishes like Kynar 500 and Galvalume Plus, the VS-216 provides lasting protection and visual appeal. Inland Building Systems also offers various weather-tightness warranties, including Limited and Premium options, reflecting their commitment to quality and durability.

VS-216 panels accept suitable adhesive-mounted polycarbonate guards, including EcoJax, SnoBlox Deuce, IceJax I, IceJax II, SnoBlox Ace, SnoJax II, and SnowBreaker. Compatible clamp-on options include SnoCleat RC and RCT, SnoBar and ColorBar standing seam rails, RCB-3 systems, and 2-bar systems. Confirm the roof material, finish, bonding surface, and installed seam configuration before selecting products. Test-fit mounting hardware before placing a full order, and follow the specified installation instructions. Never screw snow guards through standing seam panels.

Considerations for Adding Snow Guards to Standing Seam Roofs by Inland Building Systems

Keeping Your Roof Strong with Smart Attachment Choices

Use compatible clamp-on guards and rail systems or suitable adhesive-mounted polycarbonate guards on standing seam roofing. Never fasten screw-down snow guards through the panels. Confirm attachment requirements with SnoBlox-Snojax and review the roof manufacturer’s warranty requirements before installation.

Boosting Your Roof's Look with Custom Snow Guards

Make your roof stand out by choosing snow retention solutions that match its style and color. Think about snow guards with coordinating metal inserts or powder-coated systems in colors that blend well. If you're on a budget, consider local powder coating services or even paint the guards yourself.

Tackling the Challenges of Curved Roof Panels

Do not install flat-base snow guards on curved mounting surfaces. A curved roof may accept adhesive-mounted guards where a suitable flat bonding area exists, or compatible clamp-on guards and rails where the seam allows them. Contact SnoBlox-Snojax to confirm the appropriate system for the installed profile.

Important Tips for Copper Roofing

Do not glue pad-style snow guards directly to copper roofing. Use compatible clamp-on systems and confirm the suitability of clamps, bars, fasteners, and other components for contact with copper. Contact SnoBlox-Snojax for material-specific recommendations before ordering. 

A Complete Roof Protection Plan

Request a full-roof snow retention layout that accounts for roof slope, slope length, panel spacing, and snow load. Follow the recommended row quantities and spacing instead of concentrating guards above doors, walkways, or equipment. Use our spacing guidelines and quote tools to begin the layout process.

Compatibility Check Before Installation

Before installing, ensure all system components are compatible with your roof type. This step is crucial to avoid costly mistakes and ensure everything fits together smoothly. Buying individual parts and accessories can help you test compatibility more effectively.

Understanding Local Snow Loads

Confirm the project ground snow load before selecting a snow retention system. Product selection and layout also depend on roof slope, slope length, panel geometry, roof material, and attachment capacity. Higher loads may require rail systems or additional rows. Contact SnoBlox-Snojax for a project-specific recommendation.

Timing Your Adhesive Installations Right

Schedule adhesive-mounted snow guard installation during a suitable warm-weather window. Surebond SB-190 requires approximately 28 days at temperatures of at least 50°F to fully cure. Allow the adhesive to cure before snow loads reach the guards, and follow the adhesive instructions for surface preparation and weather exposure.

Adding Ice Management Solutions

If you're in an area that tends to ice up, consider adding specialized components like IceStoppers to your snow retention setup. Choose and place these elements carefully, especially on roofs with higher seams, to effectively tackle ice-related challenges.
