Durable Snow Retention for a Busy Rural Medical Clinic

Finish-matched ColorGard® components provide reliable snow retention without compromising design.

The Challenge

Along with determining an aesthetic solution to blend with the scenic surroundings of this rural community, the various roof contours and pitches presented a challenge for installers to determine precise snow loads.

The clinic anticipated heavy foot traffic and required a strong, long-lasting snow retention system to protect pedestrians. As a community project involving donations, coordination was critical to ensure all components were compatible with the standing seam roof and properly installed.

Project Stats

Award-winning Dr. D. Holmes Morton of Strasburg, Pennsylvania, created a non-profit pediatric clinic with his wife to serve Amish and Mennonite communities affected by rare genetic disorders.

Their Central Pennsylvania Clinic in Belleville provides care for patients of all ages. Built through community donations, the facility features a Kynar standing seam metal roof with the S-5! ColorGard® snow retention system and on-site roll formed panels for precise installation.

The Solution

Fisher’s Roofing utilized the complete S-5! ColorGard system, including S-5-S Clamps, VersaClips™ and SnoClips™ II. The system provided the desired aesthetics with perfect color and finish-matching designed to last the life of the roof, along with fully tested and engineered safety to protect patrons from sliding snow. E. B. Martin Roofing and A.B. Martin Roofing donated steel, while Kyfus Metal Sales provided equipment to roll form panels on site. Fisher’s Roofing installed the roof and snow retention system, resulting in a facility that will serve the community for years to come.

“We have been using ColorGard by S-5! for 15 years. Hands down, it is a much better system for the roof and for the traffic in and out of the building than snow cleats. It is a much safer system and looks so much better on the roof because of its precise matching. The quality and the durability of the product is excellent for snow retention. The product has integrity – it does what it says it is going to do – and installation is simple.”
