Always check with the panel manufacturer to confirm the compatibility of our snow retention systems.
Tip: Always install pad-style snow guards in multiple staggered rows across the entire roof to evenly distribute the snow loads. Space multiple rows of snow rails evenly as they go up the slope of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions about Snow Guards for Metallic Building Systems
Yes, the 12-inch and 16-inch flat heavy-duty, field-seamed standing BattenLok HS seam roofing system panels are compatible with our clamp-on snow retention and adhesive-mounted snow guards.
For the Metallic Building Systems PBR panel, we recommend metal snow guards, such as the SnowCatcher or SnoCleat PBR that screw down, or polycarbonate snow guards, such as the SnoBlox, Snojax, Icejax, or Ecojax, that mount with adhesive or fasteners.
Do the Metallic Building Systems PBR exposed-fastener roof panels require special snow guard fasteners?
Screw-Down Snow Guards: On the PBR exposed fastener panels, use #14 exterior-grade screws with neoprene washers positioned beneath each screw head. This type of snow guard screw ensures a watertight seal and long-term durability on metal roofing applications.
Clamp-Mounted Snow Retention Systems for Standing Seam Panels: On the Metallic Building Systems standing seam roof panel, select a clamp-on snow guard or snow rail equipped with stainless steel cup-tipped set screws for secure attachment. This low-torque set screw prevents roof panel damage while delivering safe, maintenance-free snow retention across standing-seam metal roofing profiles.
The Metallic Building Systems standing seam panel widths are 12 to 24 inches. Determining the appropriate spacing depends on the roof pitch, panel length, and the local snow load rating. Consult our SnoBar Spacing Page for standing seam panels.
