If you’ve ever seen a rooftop avalanche, you know it can be catastrophic. When snow melts and slides off a metal roof, it can cause property damage, personal injury and even fatalities—creating serious liability risks. That’s where an engineered snow guard system becomes essential.
Enter ColorGard® 2.0, S-5!’s next-generation snow guard solution for exposed-fastened R-panel, corrugated and standing seam metal roofs. Trusted by industry professionals, ColorGard 2.0 is engineered to reduce avalanche risk without compromising roof integrity or aesthetics. Designed with contractor feedback, it installs quickly with no preassembly and less field cutting, using an internal splice for lay-and-play efficiency.
On exposed-fastened R-panel and corrugated roofs, S-5! brackets rely on factory-applied butyl for a watertight seal, with performance that meets ASTM E2140, the industry’s toughest water-intrusion test.
On standing seam roofs, ColorGard 2.0 pairs with S-5!’s zero-penetration clamps. Our patented round-point setscrews create a mechanical interlock without damaging the roof, preserving manufacturers’ warranties.
Backed by extensive load testing, ColorGard 2.0 delivers the safety and serviceability you need while complementing the look of your roof with a clean, color-matched appearance designed to last the life of the roof. It is engineered and tested on a site-specific basis and includes an industry-leading lifetime product warranty.
S-5! is the only manufacturer to have achieved IAPMO EC 029–2018 for testing and certifying snow retention devices.
