\"Alton<\/a>

Alton Hall Elementary School, Galloway, Ohio, recognized the need for snow retention and specified the Sno Barricade from Sno Gem Inc. to be attached to the standing-seam roof.<\/p><\/div>Providing a safe and healthy environment for students is clearly a high-ranking consideration in the construction of an elementary school. Architects for the Alton Hall Elementary School<\/a> in Galloway, Ohio, recognized the need for snow retention and specified the Sno Barricade from Sno Gem Inc.<\/a> to be attached to the standing-seam roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe specified the Sno Barricade because of its proven durability and performance,\u201d says Mike Parkinson, associate project manager at SHP Leading Design<\/a> of Cincinnati. \u201cWe\u2019ve used the Sno Barricade on dozens of projects. I can\u2019t remember the last time it wasn\u2019t on one of our projects. The system is designed specifically for each project by Sno Gem. With the design criteria, they run calculations for the project and prescribed a two-rail system around the entire roof to protect the occupants from potential sliding snow and ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a layout of the standing-seam metal roof, considering slope, length of run, panel width, annual snowfall and other factors, Sno Gem calculates the best snow-retention solution. \u201cEvery metal roofing layout is different and each one requires its own calculations,\u201d notes Jim Carpenter, vice president of Operations at Sno Gem. \u201cOur calculations are based on results obtained from extensive testing of our clamps.\u201d

\"After<\/a>

After receiving the design criteria, Sno Gem ran calculations for the project and prescribed a two-rail system around the entire roof.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

For the Alton Hall Elementary School, the Sno Barricade was prescribed by Sno Gem. Rush Architectural Metal Erectors Inc. of Washington, Pa., installed 1,850 linear feet of the Sno Barricade around 100 percent of the perimeter of the building. R.A.M.E. also installed the Barricade Plate on Alton Hall. The Barricade Plate is an accessory designed to hold back thinner amounts of ice and snow that could pass beneath the bar. The Barricade Plate is installed on the upslope side of the bar in the middle of the panel. It\u2019s held in place by a tek screw, not visible from the ground. Like the Sno Barricade, the Barricade Plate is available in a color to match any roofing panels.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Barricade Plate is an accessory designed to hold back thinner amounts of ice and snow that could pass beneath the bar.<\/p><\/div>\u201cSliding snow and ice is a dangerous problem building owners don\u2019t have to deal with any more because of engineered snow-retention systems,\u201d adds Albert Rush, owner of R.A.M.E. \u201cThe Sno Barricade attaches easily and securely without penetrating the panel, so it doesn\u2019t compromise any roofing warranties. The addition of the Barricade Plate provides peace of mind for the occupants, as well as the school district.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
