Snow-retention System Is Aesthetically Pleasing

Sno Gem Inc. has introduced Sno Blockade, a permanent snow-retention system that is aesthetically pleasing on standing-seam metal roofs. Choose between a 1- or 2-inch bar, available in standard mill finish aluminum or painted in a powder coating or Kynar finish. Sno Blockade fastens to almost any standing-seam metal roof system, employing the company’s WaveLock technology with three points of attachment without penetration, in conjunction with the Sno Blockade clamp. To reduce melting snow and ice from sliding underneath the bar, the company offers the Blockade Plate, which is installed on the upslope side of the bar. The standard Blockade Plate width is 3 inches but custom sizes are available.
