![]() Here is a link to our Adhesive Mounted Snow Guards. On a standing seam floating type roof, the safest way to mount a snow guard is our adhesive method. A flat, non-pointed surface should stand at least the height of the seam, creating a connected field, to hold snow and ice stationary until it can melt off safely. A snow guard needs to be mounted in the lowest portion of a roofing panel where the snow and ice actually moves. The height and shape of the face of a snow guard determines its ability to hold back layers of ice and snow. Are the dimensions, shape, and mounting methods of a snow guard system important? It changes from time to time so please check back frequently.Ĥ. Also for rock bottom prices check out our Clearance section. We offer the highest quality polycarbonate (plastic) snow guards with the longest proven track record, period! All our guards have been independently tested and guaranteed to work! We will not be undersold by cheap inferior imitations! Price matching policy is only applicable to snow guards. We now have eight different sizes of clear polycarbonate snow guards so chances are we have just what you are looking for in stock and ready to ship today. The competitor’s snow guard must be of equal size to our product and made from the same 100 % Virgin Grade, UV stable, Clear, Lexan material used to manufacture our snow guards. ![]() The main requirement is that we are matching Apples to Apples and not Apples to Raisins. We will match or beat any published or written Snow Guard price quote from an established reputable snow guard company. Our stainless steel SnowCatcher is an excellent metal snow guard product that has been on the market for many years! We also introduced the SnoCleat aluminum snow guards that can be screwed down or clamped to the seam. Not all metal snow guards are inferior, as we mentioned earlier, it's mostly cheap cast guards, made to be a low-cost alternative. The solution to this problem was the invention of UV stable Clear Lexan™ polycarbonate SNOJAX snow guards! This idea was so unique it earned a patent in 1978 as the first noncorrosive transparent snow retention device. We did find however that with the painted metal snow guards, the corrosion would usually begin to form around friction points and in time would continue to eat its way through the guard and panel. Painting the metal guards did not prove to be a reliable solution but it did slow the galvanic reaction process down somewhat. Even water lying against the face of the metal guard and the metal roof for an extended period of time can initiate the deterioration process. This phenomenon normally begins to occur when water gets trapped in a crevice, such as under a screw or between the base of a metal guard and the metal roof. During evaporation water becomes concentrated and water films become more conductive, causing the initially benign water to create a dynamic galvanic effect which causes rust. In these cases the conductive liquid or electrolyte was rainwater. In addition to getting brittle and breaking in the cold, most of the metal guards available in that time period were causing severe dissimilar metal reactions that ended up eroding the metal panel finish. The plastic snow guard came about in 1976 when the late Jack McMullen was receiving negative feedback on metal snow guards in his own metal building business.
