Metal roof snow guards are a critical addition for properties in snowy climates, designed to prevent sudden snow and ice slides from metal roofs. At Walnut Creek Metals, we install AceClamp® metal roof snow guards, designed for maximum performance and roof protection.
AceClamp® snow guards are engineered to provide exceptional snow retention without the need for traditional set-screws. These high-quality snow guards are built to protect your gutters, landscaping, and entryways from the damage caused by falling snow, while keeping your property and loved ones safe.
They feature a patented sliding pin clamp that securely attaches to the roof seam without penetrating the surface. This innovative design distributes snow loads evenly across two sliding pins, providing dependable protection while preserving your roof’s integrity.
Available in multiple variants to fit most metal roof seams.
Eliminates the need for set-screws, making installation quick and clean.
Installed without penetrating the roof deck, preserving roof structure and warranty.
Adding snow guards to your metal roof provides several valuable benefits
Minimizes stress on your roof by allowing snow to melt gradually, preventing large, heavy sheets from sliding off suddenly. This gradual melt reduces the impact on gutters and downspouts, protecting them from damage caused by heavy snow and ice.
Prevents dangerous snow slides that could harm people, pets, or vehicles below.
Protects areas under the roof, like shrubbery, walkways, and roof edges, from sudden snow loads.
The non-penetrating design keeps your roof deck intact, which is ideal for metal roofs.
Snow guards are recommended when sliding snow and ice could fall onto entrances, sidewalks, driveways, decks, landscaping, HVAC equipment, or other areas below a metal roof. They help control how accumulated snow releases from the roof.
No. Snow guards are designed to manage snow movement, not permanently keep snow on the roof. Their purpose is to help snow and ice leave the roof in a more controlled manner rather than sliding off in large sheets.
Snow guards are commonly installed above entrances, walkways, driveways, decks, garage doors, landscaping, and other areas where falling snow could create a hazard or cause damage. Proper placement depends on the roof design, pitch, panel type, and expected snow load.
A properly selected and installed snow retention system should be compatible with the metal roofing system. Correct attachment and placement are important, which is why snow guards should be designed for the specific roof panel and installed according to system requirements.
Individual snow guards are installed at multiple points across a roof, while snow rail or snow bar systems create continuous horizontal snow retention across sections of the roof. The best option depends on the roof design, appearance, and snow-management requirements.
