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 suit 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 claims 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.


Fall Protection Systems for Englert Panels

To maintain the integrity of these high-performance systems, specialized fall protection is required. The following products provide the primary safety solutions for Englert installations:

  • SSRA1 Standing Seam Roof Anchor: The foundation of the system. This anchor provides a non-penetrating, certified 5,000-pound tie-off point using 12 cupped-tip or nylon-tipped set screws.
  • SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack Adapters: Mount directly to the SSRA1 anchors to create level work platforms on steep slopes using 10-foot wooden walkboards.
  • SSRA3 Anchor Plates: Heavy-duty aluminum plates that secure across two SSRA1 anchors to serve as certified endpoints for horizontal lifelines.
  • SSRA HLL 100-foot Temporary HLL Kit: A complete turnkey system providing continuous tie-off for up to two workers in fall arrest, allowing safe lateral movement across wide spans.
  • 120-foot Super Anchor Permanent HLL Kit: An industry-exclusive galvanized-steel-cable solution for roofs requiring regular maintenance without penetrations.
  • Ridge Pro Steep Assist: A peak-mounted system for slopes between 6:12 and 12:12, providing 100% tie-off from the ladder to the ridge.

Proper Attachment: Set-Screws and Torque Requirements

Worker safety and the holding power of the SSRA1 anchor depend entirely on correct set-screw application:

  • Cupped-Tip Stainless Steel Set-Screws: Use these screws exclusively on 22-gauge steel panels. Torque these screws to 90 inch-pounds.
  • Nylon-Tipped Set-Screws: Apply these tips to 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel panels to achieve certified holding power. Torque these screws to 180 to 200 inch-pounds for maximum strength.

Maintenance: Treat nylon tips as consumables. Replace these tips every 3 to 5 uses to maintain maximum grip strength.

CRITICAL WARNING: NO IMPACT GUNS

Never use an impact gun to install set-screws. Over-torquing with an impact driver crushes the standing-seam rib. This installation error damages the anchor hardware and voids the manufacturer's warranty. Always use a calibrated torque wrench for final installation.

See the Roof Anchor Compatibility Chart for Englert Metal Roofing C2400 Curved Mechanical Standing Seam Panels.

Fall Protection for C2400 Curved Metal Roof Systems

CRITICAL WARNING: CURVED STANDING SEAM ROOFS

Curved standing-seam roofs, such as the C2400, are not compatible with seam-mounted fall-protection anchors (SSRA1, SSRA2, SSRA3) or ridge-mounted systems (Ridge Pro). The variable curves and seam angles prevent these devices from achieving safe, uniform clamping pressure.


Why 3rd Party Testing Results Matter

In the professional roofing industry, safety shouldn't depend on unverified marketing claims. Every contractor has the right to see the testing compliance evidence behind their life-safety gear. By choosing American-engineered SSRA hardware, you are investing in components backed by publicly accessible ISO 17025-accredited laboratory reports. These test results demonstrate that our anchors consistently meet and exceed the dynamic 5,000-pound load requirements for modern fall arrest systems. Providing this data allows contractors to satisfy the most stringent requirements from safety inspectors and insurance underwriters alike.

Safety Tips For Standing Seam Roofs

Promote a Culture of Safety
Safety begins with communication. Crews that talk openly about hazards and share lessons from close calls create safer, more efficient job sites. When the crew buys into the process, safety becomes a habit rather than a reminder.

Use Specialized Anchor Systems for Standing Seam Roofs
Standing seam panels require non-penetrating anchors that protect their watertight, floating-seam structure. 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
Harnesses that fit correctly and lifelines that function smoothly give workers the confidence to stay productive. Under the OSHA updated rules, every piece of PPE must be sized appropriately for each individual.

Install Permanent Roof Anchor Systems
For buildings that see frequent roof traffic, permanent anchors are an investment in efficiency. They provide immediate tie-off points for service crews and inspectors without delays in setup.

Ensure Proper Footwear for Stability
Quality roofing boots with solid tread and ankle support give workers the traction they need on slick surfaces. The proper boots often stop accidents before they ever have a chance to start.

Develop OSHA Compliant Safety Plans
A detailed safety plan identifies tie-off points and outlines rescue procedures. By putting the plan in writing and reviewing it regularly, you turn compliance into confidence.

Encourage the Use of Trauma Straps
Stopping the fall is only half the job. Trauma straps allow someone suspended in a harness to shift their weight and maintain circulation until help arrives. Every harness should have them.

Consult Experts for Curved Metal Panels
The complicated seam shapes of curved roofs can cause problems for seam-mounted equipment. A professional assessment prevents costly damage and ensures safety on these intricate surfaces.

Prioritize Ladder Safety Training
Always inspect ladders for damage, position them at the proper 4-to-1 angle, and secure them on level ground. Maintaining three points of contact should be non-negotiable.

Set Up Protective Guardrail Barriers for Work Zones
Guardrails protect the crew around skylights and roof edges. These barriers reduce fall risk without interrupting workflow, allowing workers to focus on the task rather than the edge.

Howie Scarboro, C.E.O. and co-founder of Fall Protection Distributors, L.L.C., recognized the need for continued improvements in roofing safety during the 2010 MetalCon show in Las Vegas. He joined forces with SnoBlox-Snojax, a leader in snow retention and seam clamping technology for metal roofs, to create the SSRA1 prototype. Tested by Gravitec for OSHA/ANSI certifications, the SSRA1 proved to be the industry's lightest, most robust, and most universal-fit anchor point for standing seam roofs. Fall Protection Distributors, L.L.C. was born in 2015, shaping the future of fall protection and instilling confidence in the industry.
