Snow guards for a new parking lot control building had to meet several guidelines established by the Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, Illinois, where winter snow fall often exceeds several feet and snow guard protection is important.
The first parameter was color compatibility. The building was designed with an off-white standing seam metal roof and the snow guards had to be an exact match. Second was the strict need to maintain roofing integrity. The snow guards could not penetrate the metal roofing material. And last, the snow guards had to meet budgetary requirements.
Sno-Barricade snow guards, manufactured by Sno-Gem, Inc., were selected for the project. In addition to exactly matching the roofing color, the Sno-Barricade’s patent-pending button crimper was able to tightly grip the standing seam, yet there was no penetration of the roofing material; original manufacturer integrity was maintained. Also, no adhesives were needed.
While it was not a parameter of the project, an added benefit of the Sno-Barricade snow guards was the elimination of “raw” edges or unfinished surfaces that disrupt the aesthetics of the roof line. On the building, the Sno-Barricades appear as an engineered element of the roof.

The new Sno-Barricade snow guards for standing seam metal roofing systems utilize a unique bar design to create an efficient, snow-stopping profile. The holding power of Sno-Barricade snow guards comes from an innovative universal clamp that does not require adhesives and does not penetrate the roofing material. Inside the universal clamp is a patent-pending button crimper. It grips tight, yet there is no penetration of the roofing material; original manufacturer integrity is maintained.
Sno-Barricade snow guards are designed to fit all standard and most custom metal roofing profiles. Both major components of the Sno-Barricade snow guards – the universal clamp and the barricade bar – are available in any standard or custom pre-finished color as well as a real copper finish. There are no “raw” edges or unfinished surfaces
Easy to install, durable and economical, the aesthetically pleasing Sno-Barricade snow guards are a preferred architectural choice. They join the complete line of snow guards developed by Sno-Gem, Inc. For more information, call 888-766-4367
