Which Type of Metal Roof Do You Have?
VentSaver installation depends on your roof panel and attachment requirements. Start by identifying your roof type.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Concealed-fastener roofs generally require a compatible, nonpenetrating clamp-on mounting system. Verify the specific seam profile and clamp requirements.

Screw-Down Metal Roofs
Exposed-fastener roofs may use screw-down VentSaver mounting, secured into adequate structural support beneath the roof panels.

Sliding snow and ice can damage exposed roof vents and chimneys. VentSaver uses an angled metal fin to split and divert moving snow around the protected penetration.
Sliding Snow
Accumulated snow and ice may slide downslope on a metal roof.
Snow Diversion
An angled fin redirects moving snow to either side.
Vent Protection
Properly selected and installed systems help reduce impacts on roof penetrations.
VentSaver is not a substitute for a properly designed roof-wide snow retention system where one is required.

Can VentSaver be installed on standing seam metal roofs?
Yes, with compatible mounting hardware. Verify seam profile compatibility and the manufacturer's attachment instructions before ordering.
Which VentSaver model do I need?
Selection depends on the roof panel, vent or chimney dimensions, roof pitch, and mounting requirements. Compare the model specifications before purchasing.
Can I install VentSaver myself?
Installation depends on the roof and mounting method. Working on a sloped metal roof involves fall hazards; professional installation may be appropriate.
