Roof accessories and snow retention products featured in Metal Architecture’s January 2018 issue.
AceClamp
AceClamp’s Color Snap snow retention system is for standing seam roof systems. It snaps into retaining clips that are pre-installed on AceClamp’s clamps. The setup begins by installing AceClamp’s non-penetrating fasteners on standing seam ribs. The extruded Color Snap bar is set below the fasteners and slid up until it snaps into place. The bolts on the clips that hold the bar in place are tightened and a 2-inch-wide metal strip is inserted into the bar’s front-facing groove. The metal strip blends the rail system into the color scheme of the roof. The ice clips also accept 2-inch-wide color strips that snap into the rails without screws or hardware.
LMCurbs
LMCurbs’ Roof Walkway Systems are mechanically attached to standing seam roofs and non-penetrating. They create anti-skid walkways that protect roofs from foot traffic. Roof Walkway Systems have 12-inch-wide interlocking planks that create 24-inch-, 36-inch-, 48-inch- and 60-inch-wide walkways. They are 2 1/2 inches tall. The walkways are produced with galvanized steel with G-90 coating. Optional components include handrails, kick plates, leveling capabilities and ridgeline step-overs.

Sno Gem Inc.
Sno Gem’s iClad snow retention system is installed with WaveLock technology, which doesn’t penetrate roofs. It comes in standard mill finish aluminum.
