LMCurbs SnowGuard

Reliable Snow Retention for Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Prevent rooftop snow slides and protect everything below — from gutters to landscaping — with a proven, non-penetrating system built to last.

  • Non-Penetrating Clamps

    Secure attachment that won’t damage panels — installs year-round without adhesives. Works with S-5! Clamps or LM Clamps.

  • Proven Snow Retention

    Engineered to hold heavy snow loads with continuous rods and lab-tested clamp strength.

  • Long-Lasting Materials

    Made from 6061-T6 aluminum and stainless steel for decades of reliable performance.

Built for Strength — Flexible by Design

The LM Curbs SnowGuard System uses mechanical clamps with round-nose set screws that dimple — not pierce — the seam, preserving panel integrity. This non-penetrating design delivers lab-tested holding strength and installs in any season without adhesives or cure times.

With components that adapt to your needs, the system supports either Single or Double Rod configurations depending on snow load and roof pitch.

  • Single Rod System

    Ideal for standard snow loads on low to moderate slope roofs.

    • Uses one SnoRod
    • Installs with Lower Snow Strap only
    • Lower profile and more budget-friendly
  • Double Rod System

    Designed for steep slopes or heavy snow regions.

    • Uses two SnoRods
    • Installs with Upper and Lower Snow Straps
    • Adds height for increased snow retention

LMCurbs SnowGuard FAQ

Will the clamps damage my standing seam panels?

No. LM Curbs clamps are designed with round-nose set screws that create a small dimple in the seam without cutting or penetrating the panel. This ensures a strong mechanical hold while preserving the integrity and finish of your roof. The system is trusted by contractors for installations where long-term panel protection is a must.

Can I install this system in winter?

Yes, you can install the LM Curbs SnowGuard System year-round. Because the system relies on mechanical clamps rather than adhesives, there are no temperature restrictions or cure times to worry about. It’s a practical solution for contractors and property owners who need immediate snow retention, even in cold weather conditions.

What materials are used in the system?

The LM Curbs Snow Rail System is built with extruded 6061-T6 aluminum components and stainless steel hardware for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. These materials are chosen specifically to handle extreme winter conditions and deliver decades of reliable performance on both commercial and residential roofs.

What seam types and panel widths are supported?

The system is compatible with most standing seam metal roof profiles and is designed to fit panel seams up to 24 inches wide. Whether you're working with a common seam or a custom profile, the adjustable clamp design ensures a secure, non-invasive fit for a wide range of roofing systems.

How far apart should the clamps be spaced?

For maximum holding strength, clamps should be spaced no more than 24 inches apart along the panel seam. Each set screw should be torqued using a calibrated wrench — 160 to 180 inch-pounds for 22-gauge steel, and 130 to 150 inch-pounds for other metals and thinner gauges. Proper spacing and torque are critical for long-term performance.

Can I use LM Curbs Snow Rails with S-5! clamps?

Yes, LM Curbs SnowGuard Systems can be installed using S-5! clamps. If you already have S-5! clamps in place or prefer them for specific roof profiles, the LM Curbs rods and snow straps can be adapted to work with compatible S-5! clamp models. Just make sure the spacing, torque, and installation method follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure a secure, effective system.
