Who Is Englert Metal Roofing?
Englert Metal Roofing has been a trusted provider of high-quality metal roofing and gutter systems for over five decades.
Established in 1966 by Herb Englert, who branched out from Crown Aluminum to start his gutter enterprise, Englert quickly became a leader in metal roofs, gutters, and roll-forming machinery. Known for prioritizing customer satisfaction and innovation, Englert has earned numerous accolades for its outstanding offerings.
The company's dedication to excellence shines through in its operations, from its skilled workforce to its cutting-edge products and services. Englert's standing seam metal roofing systems come in various panel profiles, widths, and finishes to cater to diverse design preferences. Their paint line includes 28 ULTRA low-gloss finishes that are eco-friendly and Energy Star®-compliant, offering a blend of aesthetics and sustainability.
Englert rigorously tests its metal roofing systems for quality and longevity while offering some of the industry's best warranties, backed by unparalleled engineering expertise.
Why Are Non-Penetrating Fall Protection Anchors Critical For Englert Standing Seam Roofs?
Non-penetrating anchors protect Englert's precision-engineered standing seam roofs from leaks, corrosion, and costly warranty damage while keeping workers OSHA-compliant.
Englert's standing seam roof systems are known for precision, performance, and weather-tight protection. Their floating-clip design allows panels to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes, preventing buckling and maintaining a long-lasting seal. That movement is what gives Englert roofs their durability, but workers using the wrong anchor can cause serious problems.
Traditional anchors that rely on screws or bolts can interrupt the roof's ability to flex and maintain its watertight barrier. Once that happens, moisture can enter, leading to corrosion, panel distortion, and eventually, roof failure. Even a single drilled hole can void an Englert warranty and create long-term repair costs that far outweigh the short-term convenience of a penetrating anchor.
Non-penetrating fall protection systems solve this problem entirely. Using non-penetrating set screws to attach to the seams is a secure alternative approach. This attachment method preserves Englert's panel design, ensures watertight integrity, and maintains compliance with OSHA and ANSI fall protection standards. For steep roofs between 6:12 and 12:12, a ridge anchor provides an equally safe tie-off solution by hooking over the ridge, allowing full tie-off from the ladder before a worker steps onto the roof.
These systems are purpose-built for Englert's precision standing seam profiles, offering strength, flexibility, and protection that match the roof's quality. Contractors who choose non-penetrating anchors protect the workers while preserving the long-term value, appearance, and warranty of the Englert roof beneath their feet.

Fall Protection Options for S3000 T-Seam Metal Roof Systems
Non-penetrating anchors and lifeline kits, such as the SSRA and Ridge Pro systems, provide compatible fall protection solutions for Englert S3000 T-Seam roofs.
For 22- and 24-gauge steel S3000 panels, the SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor provides a 5,000-lb certified tie-off point without drilling or damaging the roof. The anchor installs in about two minutes and uses twelve cupped-tip set screws to create a firm, non-penetrating connection. Independently tested to ANSI Z359.18 and ISO 17025 standards, it offers reliable fall protection while maintaining the roof's watertight integrity and warranty coverage.
When a secure walking surface is needed, the SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapters mount directly atop SSRA1 anchors to support 10-foot 2×10 wooden walkboards. For horizontal tie-offs, the SSRA3 Anchor Plates connect across paired SSRA1 anchors, creating a non-penetrating foundation for temporary horizontal lifeline systems. For crews requiring a complete setup, the SSRA HLL 100' Temporary Horizontal Lifeline Kit includes four SSRA1 anchors, two SSRA3 Anchor Plates, and a 100-foot OSHA-compliant lifeline. This system provides multiple tie-off points, allowing workers to move safely and efficiently across the roof without compromising the panel seams.
For long-term or maintenance-focused installations, the Super Anchor 120' Permanent Horizontal Lifeline Kit offers a durable, code-compliant fall protection system that remains in place year-round. It provides continuous tie-off access for maintenance crews while protecting the S3000 roof's finish and structure.
Because SSRA anchors require a minimum 24-gauge steel substrate, alternative materials, such as aluminum or lighter 26-gauge panels, should use the Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor. This non-penetrating anchor hooks over the ridge using a 16-foot extension pole, allowing workers to connect before stepping onto the metal surface. It provides a 100 percent tie-off from ladder to ridge and back again on slopes between 6:12 and 12:12.
The Ridge Pro is also suitable for non-metal surfaces such as asphalt or TPO, making it a versatile option for mixed roofing environments. Together, these systems ensure that S3000 projects maintain full OSHA compliance while protecting the integrity and appearance of Englert's premium T-Seam design.

Fall Protection Solutions for C1300 Curved Metal Roof Systems
Curved roof systems require specialized, non-invasive fall protection evaluated by a trained safety professional.
Curved metal roofs, such as the Englert C1300, present unique challenges for fall protection. The curvature of the panels alters the clamping angle and load path, making SSRA seam-mounted systems incompatible. Similarly, the Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor, which is effective for straight panels on slopes from 6:12 to 12:12, should not be used on curved or radiused surfaces.
For these applications, contractors must use non-penetrating, freestanding systems such as weighted anchor carts, counterweighted ballasted systems, or portable guardrails for curved roof systems. These alternatives provide adequate fall protection without compromising panel integrity or roof warranty coverage.
Before any work begins, it's critical to have the site inspected by a trained safety professional familiar with curved-standing-seam roof structures. They can evaluate the roof radius, substrate conditions, and environmental factors to determine the safest, most compliant solution. Proper evaluation ensures the chosen fall protection method provides secure anchorage, maintains the roof's structural integrity, and meets OSHA and ANSI standards.

Fall Protection for C1301 Curved Metal Roof Systems
Curved roof designs require specialized non-invasive fall protection reviewed by a qualified safety professional.
Curved panels like the Englert C1301 pose unique challenges for fall-protection systems because their geometry changes the load path and seam engagement. Traditional seam-mounted anchors such as the SSRA1, SSRA2, and SSRA3, as well as the Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor, are not compatible with curved or radiused surfaces. Using these devices on a curved seam could deform the panel or compromise its watertight seal.
To maintain safety and compliance, crews should use non-penetrating, freestanding systems such as weighted mobile carts, counterbalanced ballast anchors, or portable guardrail assemblies specifically rated for curved roofs. These systems provide secure tie-off points without damaging the roof or voiding warranties.
Before beginning any work, a trained safety professional must inspect the roof's radius, material type, and deck conditions to identify a compliant solution that meets OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359 requirements. Proper planning and evaluation ensure workers remain protected while preserving the integrity and appearance of the C1301 roof system.

Englert offers up to 30 ULTRA-Cool® low-gloss finishes produced on their in-house, environmentally friendly paint line, each backed by an optional weather-tightness warranty.
Fall Protection for C2400 Curved Metal Roof Systems
Curved roof systems require specialized non-penetrating fall protection designed and approved by a qualified safety professional.
Because of their geometry and seam curvature, curved standing seam roofs such as the C2400 are not compatible with seam-mounted fall protection anchors like the SSRA1, SSRA2, or SSRA3, nor with ridge-mounted systems such as the Ridge Pro Steep Assist Anchor. The variable curves and seam angles prevent these devices from achieving safe, uniform clamping pressure.
To protect workers and preserve warranties, non-penetrating solutions such as weighted anchor carts, counterbalanced ballasted systems, and portable guardrail assemblies are better solutions. These systems provide reliable fall protection without penetrating the panels or affecting the roof's curvature.
Before any installation or maintenance work begins, a trained safety professional must inspect the site, assess the roof radius, material type, and slope, and develop a compliant fall protection plan.

Safety Tips For Standing Seam Roofs
Promote a Culture of Safety
Safety doesn't begin with a checklist; it starts with communication. Crews that talk openly about hazards, share lessons from close calls, and look out for each other create safer, more efficient job sites. Make short safety talks part of the daily routine so awareness becomes a habit rather than a reminder. When the crew buys into the process, safety becomes the culture, not just the rulebook.
Use Specialized Anchor Systems for Standing Seam Roofs
Standing seam panels require non-penetrating anchors that protect their watertight, floating-seam structure. Non-penetrating systems create secure tie-off points without drilling or damaging the seams. This approach protects the roof warranty, maintains watertight performance, and delivers fall arrest protection that meets OSHA and ANSI standards. Safety managers should avoid seam anchors that require placement above roof clips, as they are impossible to locate on existing roof systems.
Equip Workers with High Quality Safety Gear
The best safety programs start with dependable gear. Harnesses that fit correctly, lifelines that function smoothly, and connectors that lock firmly give workers the confidence to stay safe and productive. Under OSHA's updated 2025 rules, every piece of PPE must be sized appropriately to each individual.
Install Permanent Roof Anchor Systems
For buildings that see frequent roof traffic, permanent anchors are an investment in safety and efficiency. Once installed, they provide immediate tie-off points for service crews, inspectors, and maintenance teams. With permanent anchors, there's no setup delay or guesswork about where to clip in.
Ensure Proper Footwear for Stability
Balance is everything on a roof. Quality roofing boots with solid tread and ankle support give workers the traction they need on slick or uneven surfaces. Good footwear reduces fatigue, prevents twisted ankles, and helps maintain stability while moving materials or tools. The proper boots often stop accidents before they ever have a chance to start.
Develop OSHA Compliant Safety Plans
Preparation saves lives. A detailed safety plan identifies tie-off points, outlines rescue procedures, and clarifies who is responsible for what in an emergency. Crews that know the plan respond faster and stay calmer under pressure. By putting the plan in writing and reviewing it regularly, you turn compliance into confidence and remove the guesswork from safety.
Encourage the Use of Trauma Straps
Stopping the fall is only half the job; protecting the worker afterwards is just as important. Trauma straps allow someone suspended in a harness to shift their weight and keep blood flowing until help arrives. They take seconds to deploy and can mean the difference between a rescue and a medical emergency. Every harness should have them ready.
Consult Experts for Curved Metal Panels
Curved standing seam roofs bring beauty and complex roof designs to the industry. However, the complicated seam shapes can cause problems for seam-mounted equipment. Before any work begins, have a fall protection specialist evaluate the roof's design and recommend appropriate equipment. A professional assessment prevents costly damage and ensures safety on these intricate surfaces.
Prioritize Ladder Safety Training
Most accidents occur before anyone even steps on the roof. Always inspect ladders for cracks or bends, position them at the proper four-to-one angle, and secure them on level ground. Maintaining three points of contact and keeping hands free of tools during climbs should be non-negotiable. Regular training keeps these habits sharp and prevents the most common type of roofing injury.
Set Up Protective Guardrail Barriers for Work Zones
Guardrails quietly protect the crew around skylights, roof edges, and staging zones. They create a visual and physical reminder of danger areas. These barriers keep movement controlled and reduce fall risk without interrupting workflow, allowing workers to focus on the task rather than the edge.
