Roof Snow-Retention Systems
Metal roofs can release accumulated snow and ice suddenly, putting gutters, equipment, vehicles, entrances, loading areas and pedestrian zones below the roof at risk. All Pro Industrial installs Sno-Jax, SnoBlox and other compatible snow-retention system types for metal roofs, including point guards and heavier-duty rail/bar systems.
Why Snow Retention Matters on a Facility Roof
An uncontrolled snow/ice slide off a metal roof can damage gutters, HVAC equipment, vehicles and landscaping below — and near walkways, loading docks or entrances, it’s a safety hazard for anyone underneath. Snow-retention systems are selected and positioned based on the roof’s pitch, panel type and what needs to be protected below.
System Types
- Adhesive/glue-down systems for standing seam panels where clamping isn’t an option
- Screw-down systems
- Heavier-duty bar-style/pipe systems for larger snow loads or higher-traffic areas below
Selecting the Right Snow-Retention System
System selection depends on the roof panel, attachment method, roof slope, layout and the areas below the roof that need protection. All Pro reviews the existing roof and project requirements to determine the appropriate product type and attachment approach for the scope.
Common Areas That Benefit From Snow Retention
- Building entrances
- Walkways
- Loading docks
- Parking areas near roof edges
- Gutters and drainage components
- Rooftop or ground-level equipment below shedding roof areas
