Exposed Fastener Stand

For through-fastened metal panels, the Exposed Fastener Stand mounts directly into the roof structure with a pre-applied butyl seal — locking the snow rail in place while keeping every fastener weather-tight.

  • Available in 1-hole and 2-hole configurations
  • Factory butyl strip seals each penetration
  • Now available for tile & shingle roofs — screws hidden under the tiles
  • Carries the TitanCore™ rail rated to 3,000 lb

Sealed against leaks

Every stand ships with a factory butyl strip on the base. As you torque it down, the butyl compresses into a continuous gasket around each fastener — so the very holes you create stay watertight for the life of the roof.

A separate product · New

Tile & Shingle Stand

A different stand for a different roof. This is its own product — engineered to sit hidden beneath the tiles, with none of the exposed hardware or butyl seal of the metal-roof stand above.

New Tile and shingle snow retention stand

Built for tile & shingle roofs

Engineered snow retention that fits asphalt, tile, and shingle roofs. It mounts on a powder-coated stainless steel base with an Exposed Fastener stand riveted in place — then carries the same rail as the rest of the system.

🛈Installs entirely under the tiles — no exposed screws on the roof surface.
