S-5! Snow Retention

S-5! Snow retention products for standing seam and select exposed fastener products!
Snow retention systems help keep snow in place, and allow it to evacuate in a controlled manner. ASC Building Products has partnered with S-5!, to offer customers the following S-5! snow retention systems: ColorGard® 2.0, X-Gard™ 1.0, and X-Gard™ 2.0. These retention systems are available when purchasing ASC Building Products panels and accessories.

ColorGard® 2.0 is a true lay and play system that does not require any pre-assembly before getting on the roof. This bar-type snow guard system matches the roofing color, offering building owners improved design integration.
When installed on standing seam roofs, this system affixes to the metal roofing seams with clamps, avoiding the need to drill or screw through the roofing panel, bypassing potential weathertightness issues. Exposed fastener products will require drilling through the panel.
ASC Building Products manufactures a façade strip for The ColorGard system using the same painted metal as the roofing product, ensuring optimum color integration and consistent color aging.

X-Gard™ 1.0 and X-Gard™ 2.0 are heavy-duty, one or two- pipe snow retention systems. Fence-type systems offer higher performance due to superior beam strength, making them ideal for regions with extreme snow. Their tubular, metallic appearance may be more suitable for select design aesthetics. These systems attach to the standing seam panels using the same non-penetrating clamp design as the ColorGard system.
