Description
S-5! Individual Snow Retention Bracket IDS
The IDS is a compact, individual snow guard for exposed-fastener metal roofs. Built from 0.125″ aluminum, it provides targeted snow-slip control around entries, walkways, mechanicals, and eaves, and integrates alongside S-5! snow rail systems for site-specific protection.
Key Benefits
Targeted Snow Control: Place guards exactly where needed to mitigate sliding snow and ice on metal roofs.
Durable Aluminum Body: 0.125″ thick aluminum construction for long-term rooftop service.
Exposed-Fastener Ready: Designed specifically for exposed-fastener panel profiles.
Special Technology
Low-Profile Bracket Geometry: Discrete form factor reduces visual impact while helping retain snow blankets to melt in place.
System Compatibility: Works as a stand-alone guard or in combination with continuous S-5! snow-rail solutions (ColorGard, DualGard, X-Gard) for comprehensive retention layouts.
Warranty
Covered by S-5!’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the roof on which the product is installed.
What this means in practice:
-
Coverage lasts as long as the roof remains in service
-
Applies when the product is installed correctly and used as intended
-
Remedy is repair or replacement of the defective product, at S-5!’s discretion.
Best Uses
Entryways & Pedestrian Zones: Reduce avalanche-type slides above doors, sidewalks, and docks.
Localized Protection: Around rooftop equipment, valleys, and eave edges where spot control is preferred.
