Polycarbonate snogem installation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
POLYCARBONATE SYSTEMS

Use the Junior and Original Polycarbonate or Half-Carat and Original Metal Sno Gems for any metal roof systems, including standing seam and metal building systems, prefabricated roof systems, metal shingles, agricultural buildings/pole barns. Sno Gem has two non-penetrating installations using Tube Adhesive or 3M Adhesive Tape. Mechanical Fastening is also available.

 

Manufactured from UV stabilized polycarbonate, the unique design of these crystal-like guards suspends the field of snow until the snow and ice gradually melt under the sun's rays.

  • Before beginning always remember to completely clean roof area with isopropyl alcohol.
  • After installation, always seal perimeter of the positioned snow guard completely with SB-190 adhesive.
