SNOWBOSS #640 and #690 Series are solid cast aluminum snow guards for the mid-panel application on all standing, batten, and flat seam (non-copper) metal roofs.

Typical installation is by means of high strength adhesives that develop superior peel and shear bonding strength on modern metal roofs coated with plastic resin paints such as Kynar.

The cast snow guard are made in two distinctive shapes, the #640, a traditional design, and the model #690, a decorative, spoked, half-round design. Both are cast from Almag 35, an aluminum alloy which contains magnesium for durability under the most extreme conditions.

SNOWBOSS Almag 35 castings have superior strength and ductility, test excellent on resistance to corrosion, and respond well to anodizing and paint.

The castings have been engineered to have the most effective base to snow block proportions, so that when properly installed, give the greatest resistance to the forces exerted on the face of the snow block. The forces exerted on the face of the snow block are a combination of peel and shear, so that a well proportioned snow guard will resist rotating moment forces. (See the accompanying article for a discussion of adhesive mounted snow guards.)

The advantages of cast snow guards are that they are durable, and can't be crushed by rooftop snow loads or maintenance workers. They are solid, therefore impervious to the UV degradation of the adhesives, and will not become brittle with age.

SNOWBOSS #650 Series is constructed with durable UV resistant Lexan and is compatable with all non-copper metal roof systems.

The model 650 includes a new patent pending base design which is the latest technological advance in adhesive mounted snow guard systems. This cross hatch design strengthens adhisive grip by increasing surface area and texture, and provides for faster solvent escape, and adhesive curing. The series of evenly spaced holes in the base allow the solvents to dissipate quickly, and become "glue rivets" when the adhesive keys in the holes for a more secure application.
