SNO-GEM snow guards provide a full 25 Square Inches of holding power
- the largest base available anywhere! The size of the base determines
the shear strength of a snow guard; the larger the base the greater the
amount of shear strength.
SNO-GEM snow guards offer a state-of-the-art application technique
using 3M VHB Tape. With proper installation, immediate adhesion
upon application is 50%. This method is fully cured in 72 hours, upon which
you can expect up to 1,300 lbs. of Sheer Strength per unit (see Specifications
for complete procedure). And when compared with other application methods,
you can expect substantially reduced installation time and cost savings.
Sno-Gem also offers two additional application methods, on-site application
of adhesive and use of mechanical fasteners.
Whichever method you choose, you'll benefit from SNO-GEM's proven design,
appearance, and long life.
SNO-GEM has developed the ability to match all industry standard metal
roof colors. SNO-GEM also offers an unlimited amount of custom colors to
meet architectural requirements.
SNO-GEM snow guards offer two appearance options, creating a Horizontal
and Diagonal look.
This installation creates a 5" barrier. The
square sides parallel to the roof seam, centered on the panel creates a
square appearance (See photo).
This installation creates a 7" barrier. The
clean angular lines of the pyramid shape were engineered to reduce the
number of snow guards required on a wider width panel. When rotated on
its axis 45°, SNO-GEM creates a 40% wider base coverage. This installation
provides a diamond shape appearance (See photo).
Proper placement of the SNO-GEM will vary according to the following:
-
Geographical Location
-
Roof Pitch
-
Type & Width of Panel
-
Panel Length
All of these considerations will affect the layout of the snow guards.
For information regarding the proper placement of SNO-GEM snow guards
on your roof, please contact the professionals at SNO-GEM, Inc. Each call
will be given the special attention needed to help in providing you with
an effective retention system.
