Snow Guard Compatibility for 5280 Metal Supply Metal Roof Panels
5280 Metal Supply offers both exposed-fastener and standing seam metal roof profiles, and SnoBlox-Snojax provides compatible solutions for each. Pad-style guards, such as the SnoBlox Deuce, IceJax II, and SnoBlox Ace, fit exposed-fastener panels with a minimum 1.5-inch flat mounting area. For standing seam panels, adhesvie mounted snow guards and non-penetrating clamp-on systems like the SnoBar/ColorBar systems provide engineered snow retention without panel penetrations.
Yes. SnoBlox-Snojax pad-style snow guards are designed for exposed-fastener metal roofing and install using mechanical fasteners combined with silicone for a watertight seal. These guards are suitable for 5280 Metal Supply panels with enough flat area and are typically used in staggered, sometimes multi-row layouts, to enhance snow retention.
Yes. Standing seam panels from 5280 Metal Supply can use SnoBlox-Snojax clamp-on systems that attach directly to the seam without roof penetrations. Options such as the SnoCleat™ RC, SnoCleat™ RCT, and SnoBar/ColorBar systems help maintain roof warranties while providing strong, engineered snow retention for regions with heavy snow loads.
The ideal layout depends on roof pitch, snow load, panel type, and the chosen snow retention system. SnoBlox-Snojax recommends a balanced snow guard layout for pad-style guards. A continuous bar system provides maximum protection in heavy snow load areas. Layout guides, spacing charts, and system recommendations help ensure proper snow retention for 5280 Metal Supply metal panels.
