Safesite Rooflight Cover

This fully adjustable product provides protection against falls through fragile rooflights where regular access is required for maintenance or inspection purposes.

The unique freestanding design means that fragile rooflights can now be quickly and easily protected.

The length of the telescopic sides and height of the vertical supports are easily adjusted to the required size.  The galvanised mesh is then simply cut to the required size, clamped to the top of the support frame and the Safesite Rooflight Cover can then be lifted into place ready for use.

Versatile

The Safesite Rooflight Cover is easily adjustable in terms of width, length and height.   The standard unit can be used to protect fragile rooflights up to 1200mm x 1200mm, with height adjustment up to a maximum of 700mm.  For larger rooflights we are also able to provide additional components to increase the overall size - Details available upon request.

Portability

The Safesite Rooflight Cover has been designed in component form to ensure that it can be easily transported both to site and up to roof level.

Permanent/Temporary

This versatile product can serve as either a temporary or permanent installation as no fixings are required to either the fragile rooflight or roofing membrane.

Durability

The Safesite Rooflight Cover is supplied with a galvanised finish carried out to BS EN ISO 1461: 1999 Hot Dip Galvanised Coatings Specification and Testing Methods, giving an average coating of between 65-85 microns.  All locking screws are stainless steel and are greased before installation to ensure a maintenance free system.

Testing and Certification

The Safesite Rooflight Cover has been externally tested by Satra to the criteria and loadings taken from the ACR Red Book Test For Non-Fragility of Roof Assemblies.

The test involved a 45kg weight free falling a distance of 1.2m to reach a maximum velocity.  The Safesite Rooflight Cover arrested the load via deformation of the wire mesh panel and with no penetration of the wire mesh.

Roof Membrane Protection

The Safesite Rooflight Cover has fluted rubber bonded to the underside of all components in contact with the roof membrane.  This helps to protect the roof membrane from damage by either heat transfer or direct contact with the metal components.

On 'warm deck' asphalt roof construction we would normally recommend additional protection by way of a lightweight promenade tie loose laid under each corner support.
