ColorGard® is the only snow retention system designed and engineered on a site-specific basis guaranteed to perform, to not damage the roof or finish, and to exactly match the roof color-for the entire life of the roof. The sudden and unexpected release of snow from the roof can be dramatic, posing a serious threat to property and passers-by.
