Snow Guards for Extreme Metal Fabricators
Snow guards for Extreme Metal Fabricators roofing panels help control the sudden release of snow and ice from rooftops above sidewalks, entrances, loading areas, parking spaces, landscaping, equipment, and other locations where sliding snow can cause damage or safety concerns. The proper SnoBlox-Snojax product depends on whether the Extreme Metal Fabricators roof uses a standing-seam concealed-fastener system or an exposed-fastener panel, and then on the exact panel profile on the building.
- Extreme Metal Fabricators standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels require different snow-retention attachment methods.
- Standing seam panels should use compatible clamp-on systems or adhesive-mounted guards, not screw-down attachments.
- Exposed-fastener panels may accept glue-down, screw-down, SnowCatcher, PBR rail, or SnoCleat PBR systems, depending on panel shape and available mounting area.
- Confirm copper compatibility and confirm product compatibility for curved roofs.
- Final product selection should account for roof slope, panel width, snow load, run length, roof material, panel striations, and full-roof layout requirements.

- Standing seam warning: Do not fasten screw-down snow guards through concealed-fastener standing seam panels.
About Extreme Metal Fabricators Roofing Systems
Extreme Metal Fabricators produces standing seam and exposed fastener panels. Seam shape, roof material, mounting area, and curvature determine snow retention compatibility.
Snow Retention Solutions for Extreme Metal Fabricators Roofing
Extreme Metal Fabricators standing seam panels and exposed fastener panels use different snow retention attachment methods. Standing seam roofs typically require non-penetrating clamp-on systems when the seam geometry allows it, or adhesive-mounted guards when the panel pan provides a suitable bonding surface. Exposed-fastener panels may accept screw-down products when attached through the low flats and into adequate structure.
See our full range of snow guards for metal roofs and use the charts below to confirm which SnoBlox-Snojax products fit each Extreme Metal Fabricators panel. “YES” indicates the product is shown as a fit for that panel. “NO” means it is not shown as compatible for that profile.
Snow Guards for Extreme Metal Fabricators Standing Seam Roof Panels
The standing seam lineup includes CopperMax, CurveMax, PeakMax, PlusMax, QuikMax, SnapMax, SupremeMax, TopMax, and UltraMax. Use the charts to compare adhesive and clamp-on options for each profile.
Standing seam warning: Do not install screw-down snow guards through concealed-fastener standing-seam roof panels. Use compatible clamp-on products where the seam accepts them, or adhesive-mounted guards where a flat bonding surface is available.

PlusMax, QuikMax, SnapMax, SupremeMax, TopMax, and UltraMax accept the listed adhesive guards and compatible clamp-on products. Ecojax is a polycarbonate option where the chart shows a fit.
Striated panels may require a heavier adhesive application to fill small gaps and reduce moisture paths beneath the guard. If using a rail system, IceStopper attachments are recommended above pedestrian or parking areas to help manage snow and ice beneath the rail.
* Conditions: Copper installations require compatible corrosion protection. CurveMax accepts the listed compatible clamp-on rails and SnoCleat guards. Do not use adhesive-mounted pad guards on CurveMax. Aluminum and copper roofs may require additional rail rows. Test-fit clamps before ordering.
** PeakMax: Adhesive guards fit suitable flat, non-copper applications only.
Snow Guards for Extreme Metal Fabricators Exposed Fastener Roof Panels
CORMAX, EMAX, PBRMAX, and VMAX have different rib geometries. Use the chart to confirm each product before selecting adhesive or screw-down attachments.
Exposed fastener reminder: When screw-down snow guards or rails are compatible, attach them through the low flats of the panel and into adequate structure. Do not install individual snow guards or rail systems directly on the panel's high ribs.

EMAX accepts IceJax I, Ecojax, SnoBlox Deuce, SnowBreaker, SnoJax I, SnowCatcher, SnoCleat PBR, and PBR rails. IceJax II, SnoBlox Ace, and SnoJax II do not fit EMAX. PBRMAX and VMAX accept the listed pad guards and PBR rail systems.
CORMAX has no compatible options listed. SnoCleat 2.67, SnoBar 2.67, and ColorBar 2.67 do not fit any of these four profiles. EMAX and VMAX rail systems require Tall ColorBrackets. SnoJax I requires screws.
For screw-down installations, fasteners must engage suitable structure beneath the roof panel. For adhesive-mounted polycarbonate guards, allow approximately 28 days at temperatures of 50°F or higher for SureBond SB-190 to cure fully. Avoid adhesive-mounted polycarbonate guards on copper roofing.
For PBRMAX, position IceJax II and SnoJax II consistently over the appropriate minor ribs. Install mechanically fastened products through low, flat mounting areas into suitable structural support. SnowBreaker divides sliding snow and ice; it does not retain the snowpack.
Extreme Metal Fabricators Snow Guard Buying Checklist
- Confirm the exact Extreme Metal Fabricators panel name before choosing any product.
- Identify the roof type: standing seam, concealed fastener, exposed fastener, PBR-style, or corrugated.
- Verify the attachment method: adhesive, screw-down, clamp-on, PBR bracket, or 2.67 corrugated bracket.
- Check ground snow load. Individual glue-down or screw-down guards are generally best suited for lighter snow-load applications. Higher loads often require rail systems.
- Request a layout rather than installing only in isolated areas such as doors, chimneys, or HVAC equipment.
- Order samples or single units when you need a test fit. SnoBlox-Snojax products and components are available with no minimum order requirement.

Compatibility Guidance Note
SnoBlox-Snojax bases the compatibility information presented in this guide on product testing and field experience with Extreme Metal Fabricators' metal roof panel profiles. Panel manufacturers periodically update profile specifications, and individual project variables, such as seam condition, coating type, and installation method, can affect outcomes. Customers should confirm current panel specifications directly with Extreme Metal Fabricators and contact SnoBlox-Snojax with project-specific questions before ordering.

CurveMax accepts compatible clamp-on SnoCleat RC and RCT guards and SnoBar and ColorBar rail systems. Do not use adhesive-mounted pad guards on this profile. Test-fit the appropriate clamp before ordering and request a project-specific layout.
Use SureBond SB-190 according to the product’s installation instructions and surface preparation requirements. Allow approximately 28 days at temperatures of 50°F or higher for full cure. Do not use it to adhesive-mount metal pad-style guards or install adhesive-mounted guards on copper panels.
