ColorGard 2.0 Snow Retention

ColorGard 2.0 is a snow retention system from Petersen for PAC-CLAD roofs. It uses a strip of the actual roof panel material mounted directly into the ColorGard 2.0 unit, so the visible color and finish match the roof panel. The system is patented, and Petersen stocks it. The strip can be cut in the field or at the Petersen factory.

The system uses the patented S-5! clamp. The clamp grips the standing seam so that there is no penetration of the panel material. S-5! round-point set screws, made specially for the ColorGard 2.0 system, make the attachment. Seam clamps attach the system to a compatible standing-seam roof. No adhesives are used.

The system is a lay-and-play design. It does not need to be preassembled before going on the roof. It is used on new construction and retrofit applications, and installation time is reduced compared with systems that require preassembly.

The round-point set screws and clamp design remove minimum temperature installation requirements and the need for adhesives. ColorGard 2.0 can be installed at any temperature.

ColorGard 2.0 is the only snow retention product available that precisely matches the color of any PAC-CLAD roof panel, because the visible strip is cut from the roof panel itself. PAC-CLAD roof colors are Kynar-based 70% PVDF coatings, offered as standard, metallic and cool colors. The system is sold for use on standing seam metal roofing.

The product carries a lifetime guarantee and is listed with no warranty violations. A spec sheet and three detail drawings (Detail 1 to Detail 3) are published for the system, with an assembly close-up and standing seam renders. The 52-page PAC Metal Roofing, Wall and Trim Catalog also covers snow guards. A Digital Binder, Spec Builder and Visualizer are offered for the PAC-CLAD range.
