- Can I Use a Skylight Guardrail on a Metal Roof?
Our standard skylight guardrail is designed for flat membrane roofs and is not recommended for use on metal roofs. However, we offer custom fall protection solutions specifically engineered for metal roof applications. Contact one of our experts to find the right system for your skylight safety needs.
- Why Choose a Skylight Guardrail Instead of a Skylight Screen?
Skylight screens are a cost-effective way to meet OSHA fall protection requirements. However, when a skylight is too large, too tall, or when interior light quality is a concern due to grid shadows, a skylight guardrail is the better choice. It provides compliant protection without affecting natural light inside the building.
