"I love the Aceclamp products for a few reasons, in my book they are number one in quality and they are locally based. I've been using AceClamps since they first went into the market and recently won an award with the AceClamp for a Brass Snow Retention project at the Berkshire School Library in Sheffield MA." -Berkshire School Library
The Berkshire School Library has taken a proactive step in protecting its roof and ensuring the safety of its students and staff by selecting AceClamp® snowguards, specially ordered in brass. These offer a unique combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal, making them an excellent choice for the library’s roof.
AceClamp’s brass snow guards are designed with a patented non-penetrating push-pin mechanism. This innovative design allows for installation without the need to penetrate the roof surface, which is a significant advantage for maintaining the integrity of the roof. By avoiding roof penetration, the risk of potential leaks or damage is greatly minimized. This is particularly important for preserving the roof’s warranty, as many roofing manufacturers stipulate that any penetrations can void the warranty. With AceClamp’s non-penetrating design, the Berkshire School Library can rest assured that its roof warranty remains intact.
The choice of brass for the snowguards not only adds to the aesthetic value of the library’s roof but also addresses the crucial aspect of chemical compatibility. Brass is a material that pairs well with various roofing materials, including slate, which is commonly used in historic or high-end buildings like the Berkshire School Library. This compatibility helps prevent galvanic corrosion, ensuring the longevity and durability of both the snow retention system and the roof itself.
The installation process for AceClamp’s brass snowguards is straightforward and efficient, thanks to the pre-assembled components and the innovative push-pin design. This design allows contractors to secure snow retention to the roof without the need for additional tools or complex procedures. The ease of installation translates to reduced labor costs and time savings, which are significant benefits for any building project.
In addition to their practical advantages, AceClamp’s products are engineered to provide reliable snow retention. They effectively hold back accumulated snow, preventing dangerous snow avalanches that could pose risks to people and property below. This snow retention capability is crucial for ensuring safety during the winter months, particularly in regions that experience heavy snowfall.
By choosing AceClamp’s brass snow guards, the Berkshire School Library demonstrates a commitment to excellence in both safety and preservation. The library’s decision to invest in these high-quality systems highlights the importance of protecting the roof’s structural integrity while also enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The combination of a non-penetrating design, chemical compatibility, and reliable snow retention makes AceClamp’s brass snow guards an ideal solution for the library’s roofing needs.
