quality products, you will be pleased with your purchase and order fulfillment.
Exposed Fastener Snow Guards
The most important thing to remember when it comes to exposed fastener snow guards is to make sure that the guard has a sealant at the attachment point, like an EPDM rubber washer. This ensures that the holes produced in the panels by fasteners are correctly sealed. It is crucial to safeguard the panels from the elements and make sure that the region is entirely weatherproof. Like standing seam snow guards, exposed fastener snow guards will also be set along the metal roof’s eave in a staggered fashion. To determine the quantity and location of snow guards, use our snow guard calculator!
Levi’s recommends the Snow Defender 1500 or 4500 for exposed fastener snow guards!
Discontinuous Snow Retention for Standing Seam
Discontinuous snow retention systems are in short what most would call “snow guards”. These are standalone guards that are arranged in a staggered pattern along the metal roof’s eave. There are standing seam snow guards that come as a single item and don’t require any further parts, and then there are standing seam snow guards that must be fastened with additional clamps. A system of snow retention is created by snow guards working together.
Levi’s recommends the Snow Defender 6500, 7500, and 85RF for standing seam roofs!
Polycarbonate Snow Guards
A snow guard made of polycarbonate, a highly durable form of plastic, is a popular low-cost choice. Polycarbonate guards typically cost less than stainless steel guards, but they are also generally less durable. Polycarbonate guards have the advantages of being less expensive and being “invisible.” Since these guards are not designed to accommodate standing seams, they must be attached to any panel profile using adhesive and screws.
Levi’s recommends the Snow Defender 1500 or 4500 for exposed fastener snow guards!
