V-5/V-8 PERMANENT ANCHOR PROJECTS

PROJECTS 2019-current (location - roof type):

  • National Park Service - Historic 2nd National Bank of the United States (Philadelphia - standing seam copper)
  • University of South Carolina (SC - slate).
  • Winthrop University (SC - slate).
  • State University of New York (Plattsburgh, NY - slate).
  • Churches (VA, WV, PA - slate).
  • Residences (Nationwide - slate, asphalt shingle, Ludowici Spanish tile, DaVinci shake,)
Architects specify the V-Series permanent anchors on Universities, churches and residences for:

1.  Simplicity.
2.  Strength.
3.  Aesthetics.
4.  Zero maintenance.
5.  Safe and easy inspections of the anchor system from the attic instead of climbing onto the roof.
6.  Copper and bronze flashing system and cap.  No plastic or rubber.

​
The V-5 and V-8 blend in perfectly into historical buildings, whether the roof is slate, Spanish tile, or copper.

5 REASONS ARCHITECTS are SPECIFYING V-5/V-8 PERMANENT ANCHORS
how many anchor points to service a roof?
common sense selection of permanent roof anchors
 Seven Facts:
  • Roofs and buildings require regular maintenance.
  • OSHA requires that employees not be exposed to fall risks greater than six feet.
  • Falls continue to be a leading cause of death and injuries in the workplace.
  • Working at heights without proper fall protection exposes the worker to unneccessary risks and the owner and contractor to substantial fines and potential lawsuits.
  • Installing and removing temporary anchors each time a roof is serviced exposes workers to greater fall risks than connecting to a properly installed permanent anchor.
  • Installing temporary anchors adds wear and tear to the roof with each installation.
  • Workers are much more likely to utilize fall protection practices if the anchors are already in place.
