Distributed by S-5! ® Warning! Please use this product responsibly!
Products are protected by multiple U.S. and foreign patents. Visit the website at www.S-5.com for
complete information on patents and trademarks. For maximum holding strength, setscrews should
be tensioned and re-tensioned as the seam material compresses. Clamp setscrew tension should be
verified using a calibrated torque wrench between 160 and 180 inch pounds when used on 22ga steel,
and between 130 and 150 inch pounds for all other metals and thinner gauges of steel. Consult the S-5!
website at www.S-5.com for published data regarding holding strength.

ColorGard ® dramatically reduces the risks associated with rooftop avalanches
and maintains the clean colorful appearance of the roof with perfect color
and finish matching, which lasts as long as the roof itself! ColorGard is the
only snow retention system designed and engineered on a site-specific basis.

Can ColorGard ® be Retrofitted to an Existing Roof?
Yes, ColorGard ® can be easily retrofitted to existing roofs, or
incorporated into new construction design. Using S-5! ® CorruBrackets ™ or
VersaBrackets ™ , ColorGard installs perfectly on corrugated and exposed-
fastened roofs. ColorGard can be installed any time of year.
Is Design Assistance Available For
ColorGard ® ?
Yes! It is critical to design a solution that takes into account the effects of
gravity on a snow-covered roof. The tested holding strength of ColorGard
must be checked and proven against the actual “in-service” gravity loads of the roof. This
important step in application engineering should not be omitted for any snow retention
product.
Consult with your distributor or use our online calculator at
www.S-5.com to help quickly and easily design each job. The
calculator will help you to “tailor” the ColorGard system on a project-
specific basis, allowing for all the variables involved—and even
provide a printout of the calculations and a material requirement list.
S-5! also offers its Certified Calculation Program. To receive the
engineer stamp of approval, simply submit your project calculations
to our registered engineer for a professional review. Learn more at
www.S-5.com/Calculator.
How Easy is it to Install?
Once designed, ColorGard is easy to install, requiring tools that are common to the trade.
Because S-5! ColorGard uses mechanical attachment rather than adhesives, installation can
be done any time of year, with no cleaning, no priming, no cure times, and no callbacks!
What About Cost?
ColorGard is the best buy on the market! This is the best news of all! ColorGard has greater
holding strength, better aesthetics, longer service life, and lower installed cost than any
other engineered system on the market. Pound-for-pound of holding strength, ColorGard
is a better buy than individual cleats or glued units.
Why is S-5! ® the
Best Choice?
The premium finishes used
on today’s metal roof prod-
ucts are fluorocarbons—
paint resins that are similar
in chemical composition
to “Teflon,” the popular
non-stick coating. The
benefits of this type of paint
are related to its nonstick
characteristics. Chemical
bonds like tapes, glues
and adhesives, therefore,
provide only temporary and
unreliable solutions. Other
mechanical alternatives that
involve penetrating the roof
or galling the surface result
in leakage, corrosion, and
voided warranties. Thanks
to our patented round-tip
setscrews, S-5! clamps do
not pierce metal paneling,
thereby protecting roof
coatings and weather-
tightness warranties.
