Considerations for Adding Snow Guards to Standing Seam Roofs by BRS Roofing Supply

Obtain samples to check fitment.

Order product samples to confirm that the snow retention devices match your roof's profile. This precaution helps ensure a smooth installation process and reduces potential fitment challenges.

Opt for non-penetrating attachment methods.

Choose snow retention systems that use clamps or adhesives instead of screws or nails to help protect your roof warranty and minimize the risk of leaks.

Schedule adhesive installation during warmer months.

Plan to install adhesive-based polycarbonate snow guards in late spring or early summer. Adhesives typically require approximately 30 days of temperatures above 50°F to cure fully, although they become water-resistant within 24 hours.

Match snow retention to roof aesthetics.

Select snow guards that coordinate with your roof's appearance, such as powder-coated metal guards or inserts designed to complement your building's style. Some options are available in multiple colors, but custom finishes may require additional lead time.

Incorporate ice control accessories as necessary.

Install ice management components, such as aluminum ice stoppers, on rail or bar systems in areas prone to ice accumulation. These accessories help prevent ice from sliding beneath the rails, especially on roofs with taller seams.

Coordinate snow guard placement for optimal load distribution.

Arrange for snow guards to distribute the snow weight evenly across the roof. Use a staggered pattern for pad-style guards and straight lines for rail systems, avoiding isolated placement to prevent structural stress. See our spacing guide for more information.

Confirm compatibility with your roof type.

Ensure that the snow retention products you choose suit your roof's design. This step helps guarantee proper installation and minimizes the risk of fitment issues.

Verify local snow load codes.

Before selecting a snow retention system, check with your local building authority to determine the required snow load for your region. Pad-style snow guards typically support ground snow loads of up to 45 pounds per square foot. In contrast, rail systems can handle more demanding snow conditions.
