Installation Instructions For #130 Snowguards
 
Please call for manufacture's recommended layout pattern. You will need to provide roof slope, rafter length, and snow load. If painted material is needed, please provide manufacturer and the manufacturer's color designation.
 
To glue onto the roof with Adhesive Tape 2845:
  1. Clean the area where the snowguard is to be installed and the back of the snowguard with isopropyl alcohol. (If the roof is Galvalume®, use acetone followed by IPA)
  2. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any residue.
  3. Apply the double sided tape to the back of the snowguard.
  4. Press firmly into place with as much pressure as can be applied.
  5. Caulk the entire perimeter of the snowguard with a thin bead of sealant as recommended by Alpine SnowGuards.
  6. The adhesive requires 48 hours to fully cure. Temperatures under 70 degrees require longer cure times.
 
To glue onto the roof with SureBond SB190:
  1. Clean the area where the snowguard is to be installed and the back of the snowguard with isopropyl alcohol. (If the roof is Galvalume®, use acetone followed by IPA)
  2. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any residue.
  3. Apply a ¾" square double sided tape in the approximate center of the snowguard. The purpose of this tape is to prevent the snowguard from sliding while the adhesive cures.
  4. Apply adhesive to entire back of the guard (except on the tape) to a depth of 1/8".
  5. Trowel the adhesive to a smooth even surface. Press the snowguard into place being sure to apply even pressure over the entire surface.
  6. Smooth the excess adhesive around the edges of the snowguard back onto the snowguard. Do not remove excess adhesive. This will create a water tight seal around the perimeter and prevent water or frost from getting under the base of the snowguard.
This adhesive must be used in temperatures above 40 degrees for a minimum curing time of 14 days. Full curing will occur after approximately 28 days of temperatures above 70 degrees. All moisture must be removed from the roof and the snowguard before installing.
 
To solder onto the roof: (recommended for copper, lead coated copper, zinc, stainless steel, and TCS)
  1. The backs of the snowguard should be tinned.
  2. Determine where on the panel the snowguard is to be set and clean the spot well.
  3. Flux and tin the spot.
  4. Put the snowguard in place and heat sufficiently to melt the solder on the snowguard and on the panel then allow to cool. When possible this procedure can be done on the ground before installing the panels.
