RCG Farms has taken a proactive approach to winter safety by selecting AceClamp's advanced 2-bar snow retention system, featuring the renowned ML clamp. Located at 38 Taunton Hill Road in Newtown, Connecticut, this project exemplifies the commitment to quality and durability in roofing solutions, especially in a region known for its harsh winters.

Project Overview

The installation was executed by Architectural Sheet Metal and Slate, a reputable firm based in New Haven, Connecticut, under the skilled direction of Tom Burnetti. With years of experience in the industry, Tom and his team recognized the importance of selecting a snow retention system that not only provides reliability but also ensures a straightforward installation process.

Designed by P/H Architects from Newtown, CT, this project reflects a seamless collaboration between architects and contractors, focusing on both functionality and aesthetics. The team understood that a robust snow bar system is critical for protecting the integrity of the roof while maintaining the overall architectural vision.

The roof features high-quality materials sourced from Merchant & Evans, Inc., located in Burlington, NJ. Utilizing 0.040” aluminum in a sophisticated Dove Gray finish, the roofing not only complements the surrounding environment but also guarantees long-lasting performance. The choice of the 305 Classic Rib profile with 12” coverage ensures both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, making it a perfect fit for the architectural style of RCG Farms.

The AceClamp 2-bar snow bar system was selected specifically for its reliability and ease of installation. The patented ML clamp design stands out in the market, featuring a non-penetrating push-pin mechanism that protects the roof panels from potential damage during installation. This innovative approach helps maintain the warranty and integrity of the roofing system, giving peace of mind to both the contractor and the property owner.

The installation process was efficient, allowing the team to complete the job in a timely manner while ensuring that every aspect of the snow bar system met the required safety standards. By opting for a fully assembled solution, RCG Farms benefited from a significant reduction in installation time compared to traditional methods.

In regions like Connecticut, where heavy snowfall is common, having an effective snow retention system is crucial to prevent snow slides and potential avalanches. The AceClamp 2-bar system not only offers superior performance in retaining snow but also enhances the overall safety of the property and those who frequent it.

By choosing AceClamp, RCG Farms has demonstrated a commitment to quality and safety, ensuring that their investment in roofing is protected against the elements while providing a durable and attractive solution for years to come.
