Quick guide to match your roof type with the right anchor system — avoid leaks, reduce install time, and build a safer fall protection plan.
| Roof Type | Recommended Anchor | Installation | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing Seam Metal | Clamp Systems Non-Penetrating | No drilling — clamps to seam | Commercial roofs, waterproofing protection |
| R-Panel / Screw-Down Metal | Structural Anchors Heavy-Duty | Through-fastened to roof deck | Industrial buildings, ribbed panels |
| Asphalt Shingles | D-Ring Anchors Temp/Perm | Under shingle or surface-mount | Residential roofing, reroofs |

Start with your roof type: standing seam metal uses non-penetrating clamp anchors, R-panel/screw-down metal uses structural through-fastened anchors, and asphalt/cedar shingle roofs use D-ring anchors. If you're unsure, send us photos and we'll recommend the right system.
Yes — most standing seam anchors use a clamp mechanism that grips the seam without drilling through the roof panel. This protects waterproofing and reduces leak risk. Always verify compatibility with your specific seam profile before ordering.
Temporary anchors are designed for short-term projects (reroofs, repairs) and can be removed after the job. Permanent anchors are installed for ongoing roof access (HVAC maintenance, chimney work) and stay in place for years. Both meet CSA fall protection standards.
Yes — we ship nationwide from our Ontario warehouse. Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. If you need rush delivery or have a large project, contact us for expedited options.
All our roof anchors meet CSA Z259.13 standards for fall arrest systems and are rated to support 5,000 lbs minimum. Each product includes load ratings and installation instructions.
Fall Protection Canada supplies contractor-grade roof anchors in Canada for metal and shingle roofing work. Whether you're installing a standing seam clamp anchor, a structural R-panel roof anchor, or a shingle roof D-ring anchor, choosing the right system prevents leaks, reduces install time, and builds a safer job site.
Standing seam metal roofs are common on commercial buildings, warehouses, and agricultural structures. Non-penetrating clamp anchors attach directly to the raised seam without drilling through the roof panel. This approach protects the waterproof membrane, reduces leak risk, and allows faster installation compared to traditional through-fastened anchors. Look for adjustable clamp designs that accommodate various seam heights and profiles.
R-panel, corrugated, and screw-down metal roofs are typically found on industrial buildings, barns, and pole structures. These roof types require structural anchors that fasten through the panel into the underlying deck or purlins. Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction ensures long-term durability in harsh weather, while engineered load ratings meet CSA Z259.13 requirements for fall arrest systems.
Asphalt shingle and cedar shake roofs dominate the residential market across Canada. D-ring anchors provide reliable tie-off points for roofing crews during installation, maintenance, and repair work. Temporary anchors work well for one-time reroofs, while permanent anchors serve homes that require regular roof access (chimney cleaning, HVAC maintenance, gutter work). Surface-mount and under-shingle styles offer flexibility based on project scope and aesthetic preferences.
Using the wrong anchor for your roof type can lead to water infiltration, structural damage, and safety violations. Standing seam roofs need clamp systems to preserve waterproofing. Metal panels with exposed fasteners require structural anchors that penetrate to the deck. Shingle roofs benefit from D-ring designs that distribute load across multiple courses. Matching the anchor to the substrate isn't just about compliance — it's about protecting your crew and your client's property.
