V-5/V-8 PERMANENT ANCHOR PROJECTS
PROJECTS since 2019:
- 2nd National Bank of the United States in Philadelphia (20 ounce standing seam copper roof)
- University of South Carolina (multiple buildings)
- Winthrop University
- State University of New York (Plattsburgh)
- Multiple churches in PA, WV and VA.
- Hundreds of residences across the country.
Since 2019, architects have specified the V-Series permanent anchors on Universities, churches and residences.
They choose this system for its simplicity, strength, durability, zero maintenance, the ease of safely inspecting the anchor from the attic (rather than rooftop), and the low profile beauty of the cast bronze and copper flashing system.
The V-5 and V-8 blend in perfectly into historical buildings, whether the roof is slate, Spanish tile, or copper.

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.
The low profile bronze cap will render the V-5 anchor unnoticeable on the roof once the roof repairs are complete.
