Self-supporting guardrail for skylights on the roof

Follow My name:

Skylights allow natural light to be introduced into the interior spaces of buildings. It's like a bay window installed on the roof. They effectively limit the use of artificial light. However, these devices can become dangerous. Indeed, they expose to the risk of falling from a height. To avoid this, a dedicated self-supporting guardrail is needed.

Why install a freestanding skylight guardrail?

A fall through a skylight can result in serious injuries. Even a death. A self-supporting guardrail helps avoid this type of accident. It represents a physical barrier that prevents falling during roof work. Especially in winter or during the rainy season when the ground is slippery.Installing a self-supporting guardrail is simple and quick. Indeed, you do not need to perforate your roof to install it. It supports its own weight. Among other things, this reduces labour costs. In addition, you can remove it or move it at any time if necessary. In terms of practicality, it is therefore the best option.
