Snow Retention Systems

S-5 ColorGard Snow Stop System

Snow accumulations on sloped metal roofs can pose significant danger to property and life as these accumulations can succumb to gravity and avalanche in a catastrophic manner –harming property and passersby. 

Down Valley Gutter can design and install the right snow stop system for your roof. We always recommend installing a snow stop retention system on any metal roof with gutters. This will protect your gutter system and anyone or thing down below.

S-5® ColorGard® System

A properly designed ColorGard quality snow retention system:

• dramatically reduces the risks associated with avalanches, 

• maintains the clean colorful appearance of the roof with perfect color and finish matching, 

• and lasts as long as the roof itself!

ColorGard is the only snow retention system designed and engineered on a site-specific basis; that can be warranted to not damage the roof or finish, and to exactly match the roof color—and last for the entire life of the roof.

ColorGard is mechanically attached with patented S-5 clamps. S-5 is the trusted name in metal rooftop attachment technology worldwide. S-5 patented, round-point setscrews grip the seam securely without penetration and without damage to the panel’s protective finishes. The clamps are precision-machined from aircraft quality, high tensile aluminum—not cast or plastic. All related hardware is non-ferrous stainless steel for lasting performance.
