A1000 Metal Roof System

     

The A1000 metal roof panel features a clip-and-fastener system with a seam height of 1.5 inches and is available in 24- and 26-gauge steel substrates. The narrow snap-lock system comes in panel widths ranging from 12 to 20 inches, and this panel requires a deck mounting surface. Depending on the finish type chosen, paint warranties span between 15 and 30 years.

When installing fall protection solutions for A1000 metal roof systems, it is crucial to utilize non-penetrating anchor points to ensure the factory warranties are intact. Various innovative fall protection products are designed specifically for Englerts' A1000 system use.

Fall Protection Solutions for A1100 Metal Roof Systems

A1100 panels have several fall protection options available.  For 24 gauge panels, workers can use the SSRA1 Seam Clamps for anchor points. You can add SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jacks to enable walk boards on these panels, and  SSRA3 Anchor Plates can deploy temporary horizontal lifelines. It's important to note that the SSRA1 Seam Anchors specifically requires a minimum of 24 gauge steel, which makes them incompatible with 26 gauge panels.

In such situations, the Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor can hook over the roof's ridge and establish an anchor point. This tool ensures that the worker remains fully secured from the ladder to the roof's peak until returning to the ladder. The Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor is fully compatible with all variations of the A1000 panel and all other substrate panel materials.
