Colored Snow Guards

Snow guards, which are devices installed on roofs to prevent snow and ice from sliding off in large, dangerous sheets, are typically available in clear and various colors to match the roof or to achieve a specific aesthetic. The choice of snow guard color often depends on personal preference, the color of the roofing material, and the overall design goals. Keep in mind that the primary purpose of snow guards is to provide safety and prevent snow and ice from sliding off the roof, so their color should not compromise their effectiveness. Our colored polycarbonate snow guards are colorfast the entire way through the snow guard. The colored stainless steel SnowCatcher models are powder coated, usually to match the color of the roof.

Snow Guard Color Options

Colored Snow Guards Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We manufacture our colored snow guards in the USA using only 100% virgin polycarbonate. This material is stronger, lighter, and thirty times more durable than acrylic. Its UV stabilization prevents it from deteriorating, discoloring, fading, and weakening the guards. Commercial airplane windshields use the same trusted material.

We do not currently offer custom-matched screws for our snow guards. With thousands of available roofing shades on the market from hundreds of different manufacturers, it would be impossible to stock screws to match all of these options. Our 2" Master Grippers (for use with wooden structures) and 1.5" Master Drillers (for use with metal structures) come in a standard silver finish.

A well-planned layout should distribute the weight of the snow and ice over the entire roof surface rather than concentrate it in one area. We have spacing guidelines available online for all our snow guard products to help take the guesswork out of your project. For projects in regions with ground snow loads of higher than 45 PSF, we recommend filling out the SnoBar Quote Request Form.

Powder coating can match the color of the stainless steel SnowCatcher snow guard. We require a physical sample for a bespoke color match. Once we find an appropriate match, we will issue the quote. Orders for powder coating typically have a 3–4 week production time. We do not keep color-matched SnowCatchers in stock. Customers can order SnowCatchers in mill finish and either paint them or have them coated locally if they'd like a quicker or more affordable option.

Three holes have already been pre-drilled into the base of the SnowCatcher snow guard. The two holes next to the guard's face are necessary for installation. The guard gets hung during the optional powder coating process through a third hole at the opposite end of the base. This third hole works as an additional mounting point for greater strength.
