Answers

 1. Why is ColorGard® a better choice than the other color-coded options? 

Because of the perfect color matching - that lasts for the life of the roof! It is no trick to achieve a perfect color match to the roof initially; numeric computer matching has made that task simple. The challenge is to keep it color-matched over time and exposure, because different pigments, paint resins and application technologies result with different aging characteristics. One paint fades much more rapidly than another, resulting in a very unsightly mismatch after several years. Read more>>

3. How can ColorGard® be less conspicuous than CLEAR plastic?

ColorGard® presents architecturally clean lines.  It is unobtrusive in appearance, blending into the roofscape.  When compared to plastic alternatives that have highly reflective characteristics, ColorGard® is the clear winner for complementing the roof.  See example photos and read more>>

 4. I have seen other products that attach with setscrews.  How is S-5!® different?

The metallic and architectural coatings used on many sheet metal panels are thin and fragile.  There may be copycat snow guard products in the marketplace that also utilize setscrews for attachment, but be careful!  A common setscrew with a "cup" point gouges through protective coatings violating warranties and causing corrosion sites at the point of attachment.  Only S-5!® utilizes special polished, round-tipped screws.  Although more costly, the makers of S-5!® use this patented method to preserve delicate panel finishes — and their warranties.  This is why all major metal roof panel manufacturers approve and recommend S-5!® products — often on an exclusive basis!  Read more>>
