PLAINVILLE, Conn. – With contractors in mind, AceClamp®/PMC Industries has just made installing snow retention systems on standing seam metal roofs easier and quicker than ever. AceClamp®’s new COLOR Snap™ snow retention bar simply snaps into retaining clips that have been pre-installed on AceClamp®’s patented SSMR fasteners.
The set-up for the snow retention system begins with installation of AceClamp®’s fully assembled, non-penetrating fasteners on the SSMR ribs. The extruded COLOR Snap™ bar is then set below the fasteners and slid up until it snaps into place. The bolts on the clips that hold the bar in place are then tightened to complete the install. Finally, a color-matching, 2-inch-wide metal strip is inserted into the bar’s front-facing groove, blending the entire rail system into the color scheme of the roof.
