Fragile Rooflight Covers

fragile rooflight cover

Fragile Rooflight Cover has been designed specifically for use on metal profile roofs. The system provides effective fall protection without blocking the light into the building.

Our rooflight cover system is available in two formats, one that sits virtually flat on the roof surface, and one that is mounted onto small legs to raise it above the skylight.

FastClamp rooflight covers comply with EN ISO 1873: 2014 Part 2 standard and the ACR Red Book.

Why rooflights need covering

Rooflights are the weak point on a metal roof. From above they look like part of the roof; they are not built to take a person. A rooflight cover puts a galvanised mesh guard over the light so someone stepping on it, or falling against it, is held, while the light still gets through. It is the fixed alternative to netting underneath or a fence around every light, and it stays in place between visits.

  • Trapezoidal profile and standing seam metal roofs with in-plane rooflights
  • Roofs visited for plant maintenance, gutter cleaning and solar inspection
  • Warehouses, factories, distribution centres and retail sheds with runs of rooflights
  • Routes where a roof walkway passes beside or between rooflights

The range

Two cover formats and a guardrail option, all hot dip galvanised.

Choosing and sizing

Measure the rooflight, not the opening: length along the roof and width across it, plus how far it stands above the sheet. Flat or slightly raised lights take the standard cover; domed and upstand lights take the raised cover. A primary panel covers the first 2m and extension panels add length in 1m or 2m steps, so a 5m run is one primary and three extensions. Where the light opens for smoke venting or must stay unobstructed, use the guardrail kit instead. Tell us the roof profile so the fixings match it.

Ordering

Rooflight covers and guardrail kits are supplied through UK distributors. Send the rooflight sizes, the count, the roof profile and a photograph to our technical team and we will confirm the panels and put you in touch with a stockist. Covers are usually specified alongside Defender edge protection or the metal roof edge protection system as part of one roof safety scheme. For the background, read rooflight covers and fall protection for fragile roofs.

Do rooflight covers block the light?

No. The panels are open mesh, so daylight still reaches the building. The frame can be colour coated so the cover is visible on the roof.

Standard or raised cover?

Standard for rooflights that sit close to the roof sheet. Raised, on short legs, for domed or upstand rooflights that stand proud of the sheet.

How do I cover a long run of rooflights?

Start with a primary panel and add extension panels in 1m or 2m lengths until the run is covered. Send the total length and we will confirm the panel count.

Can the cover be fitted to a standing seam roof?

Yes. Covers are used on trapezoidal and standing seam profiles; tell us which so the fixings are matched to the roof.

When would I use a guardrail kit instead of a cover?

When the rooflight opens, for smoke venting for example, or has to stay clear. The kit puts a guardrail around the light rather than a mesh over it, and a version with a gate is available for access.
