The Snow Defender 4500 is ideal for long-lasting protection against melting ice and snow. Made with 16 gauge steel, it is designed for exposed fastener panels with 2x4 flat purlins and has an EPDM rubber sealer, making for an effortless installation. You only need the snow guards and screws; no extra caulk is necessary! Fasteners are not included, but the Supply Maverick has you covered with
metal fasteners and roofing screws. The embossed groove on the Snow Defender 4500 isn't just for looks; it increases its rigidity by 40%, making it even more durable! However, the Snow Defender 4500 is not made for use with standing seam roofing, but it does come with a 15-year warranty.
