Considerations for Adding Snow Guards to Standing Seam Roofs by Ultra Seam

Evaluate Snow Load Requirements

Begin by analyzing the ground snow load in your area to select the most appropriate snow retention system. Pad-style snow guards work well for regions with snow loads up to 45 psf, while areas with heavier snowfall demand robust rail-based systems for optimal performance.

Test System Compatibility

Before committing to a full installation, test sample components of your chosen snow guard system on your roof type. This preliminary step ensures proper fit and integration, helping you avoid expensive errors. You can easily purchase samples of our various components on our website.

Schedule Installation at the Right Time

Plan adhesive-mounted polycarbonate snow guard installations during warmer months, such as late spring or early summer. Adhesives like Surebond SB-190 require approximately one month to cure fully at temperatures around 50°F, and rain resistance develops within 24 hours.

Design a Comprehensive Layout

Develop a detailed layout covering the roof surface to ensure even weight distribution. Arrange pad-style guards in staggered zigzag patterns and snow rails in straight lines. Avoid concentrating installations above isolated areas to minimize overloading risks. Use our spacing charts and guidelines to simplify the planning process for projects of any size. Isolated placements are strongly discouraged due to the likelihood of the guards becoming overloaded and failing.

Preserve Roof Integrity with Non-Penetrative Methods

Standing seam metal roofs require installation methods that do not compromise the material. Opt for clamp-on or adhesive-mounted systems instead of fasteners that penetrate the roof, ensuring compatibility and maintaining warranty coverage.

Enhance Ice Management

When installing rail systems on standing seam roofs, add IceStoppers to manage ice effectively, especially in high-traffic zones or areas above walkways. Proper spacing is crucial to prevent ice from sliding under the rails, particularly on seams taller than 1 inch.

Prioritize Aesthetic Appeal

Select snow retention systems that blend seamlessly with your roof's color or aesthetic details for a cohesive look. Many products offer customizable metal inserts to match or contrast your roof's shade. You can also explore powder coating services or DIY painting options to achieve your desired appearance.
