S-5!® Clamps
Reduce hazards associated with rooftop avalanches. Compatible with both Exposed Fastened and Standing Seam Metal Roofs. Unlike powder-coated and air-dried paint finishes, ColorGard’s finish match lasts the life of the roof – guaranteed because it is the same material as the roof! Our metal roof snow guards can be easily installed any time of the year. Retrofit ColorGard to an existing roof or incorporate it in the new roof design.
Why is S-5!® the Best Choice?
The premium finishes used on today’s metal roof products are fluorocarbons—paint resins that are similar in
chemical composition to “Teflon,” the popular non-stick coating. The benefits of this type of paint are related to its nonstick characteristics. Chemical bonds like tapes, glues and adhesives, therefore, provide only temporary and unreliable solutions. Other mechanical alternatives that involve penetrating the roof or galling the surface result in leakage, corrosion, and voided warranties. Thanks to our round-point setscrews, S-5! clamps do not pierce metal paneling, thereby protecting roof coatings and weather-tightness warranties.
Finding a Design that Works for You
It is critical to design a solution that takes into account the effects of gravity on a snow-covered roof. The tested holding strength of ColorGard® must be checked and proven against the actual “in-service” gravity loads of the
roof. This important step in application engineering should not be omitted for any snow retention product.

Installation
ColorGard® can be easily retrofitted to existing roofs, or incorporated into new construction design. Using S-5!® CorruBrackets™ or VersaBrackets™, ColorGard installs perfectly on corrugated and exposed-fastened roofs.
ColorGard is easy to install, requiring tools that are common to the trade. Because S-5!® ColorGard® uses mechanical attachment rather than adhesives, installation can be done any time of year, with no cleaning, no priming, no cure times, and no callbacks!
Why is ColorGard® a better choice than other color-coded options?
Because of the perfect color matching that lasts the life of the roof! It is no trick to achieve a perfect color match to the roof initially; numeric computer matching has made that task simple. The challenge is to keep it color-matched over time and exposure because different pigments, paint resins and application technologies result in different aging characteristics. One paint fades much more rapidly than another, resulting in a very unsightly mismatch after several years.
The premium paint finishes used on metal panels are “coil-coated.” This paint application method utilizes state-of-the-art technologies, chemical pretreatment, primer and finish coat application, and controlled oven curing. Only through this lengthy process can high quality Kynar and Hylar (PVDF) finishes be applied and warranted against color fade for 20 years and longer.
ColorGard® is the only product that uses the same factory applied (coil-coated) finish and inorganic pigments as the roof itself. We do this by incorporating a strip of the actual roof material in the ColorGard® system, for a perfect match of the roof and snow guard—forever!
