Roof Experts is a standing seam metal roofing contractor serving Toronto and the GTA. We install mechanical lock and snap-lock standing seam profiles for residential and light commercial properties across all Toronto neighbourhoods — from Scarborough and East York to North York, Etobicoke, and downtown Toronto.
For this Toronto project we installed ORIMA LE2 tubular snow guards — specifically designed for mechanical lock standing seam profiles. The LE2 seam clamp attaches directly to the double-folded mechanical lock seam without drilling, preserving the roof panel integrity and manufacturer warranty. Snow guards were powder-coated to match the black SSAB steel roof.
ORIMA LE2 snow guards are available for supply through our sister company:

Toronto ground snow load ranges from 1.4 to 2.0 kPa per NBC 2020. Combined with the city’s freeze-thaw cycles between November and April, a properly installed standing seam roof with engineered snow retention is the correct long-term solution for Toronto homeowners.

Toronto project — standing seam roof, snow guards, and metal siding
New energy-efficient residential build near Victoria Park Ave. and St. Clair Ave. in Toronto. The client chose mechanical lock standing seam in black SSAB GreenCoat Pural steel, with matching snow guards, metal facade, and gutters with downspouts — all in the same profile and color.
“Great experience with Roof Experts, I liked the design and decided to do black standing seam roof with snowguards, metal façade and gutters with downspouts in the same style and with the same SSAB steel. Highly recommend!”
— Jason A., homeowner, Toronto

Snow guard installation in Toronto
We install ORIMA tubular steel snow retention systems on standing seam and all other roof types across Toronto. Each layout is calculated individually based on roof slope, panel length, and local snow load per NBC 2020 — protecting entrances, driveways, and lower roof sections below.
Our steel snow guards are rated at 5 kN/m static load (SS 831367). Non-penetrating clamps attach directly to the standing seam rib — no drilling, no leaks, no warranty issues.
