Our self-supporting guardrail for skylights

A skylight is a roof opening that lets the sun's rays into the building. In addition to promoting well-being, this reduces electricity consumption. Although practical, this device can also be dangerous. It consists of a glass or plastic dome. These materials are designed to withstand the elements. However, they break easily under human weight. It is therefore important to insulate them to prevent accidents. Especially for buildings with roofs accessible to the public. This is precisely the role of self-supporting skylight railings.

What is a self-supporting guardrail?

A self-supporting guardrail is a device that blocks access to a dangerous area. In our case, it is installed around the skylight. It protects roof workers and the public from accidental falls. At Solutions Prox-Secur, we offer you the model manufactured by DELTA PRÉVENTION. Discover its advantages.

  • Compliance with current standards

DELTA PRÉVENTION self-supporting skylight guardrails comply with CNESST, OSHA and CBNC standards. This guarantees the strength and solidity of the device.

  • Incomparable strength

The materials used to manufacture the device are weather-resistant. Rain, wind, strong temperature variations or even acidic environments... No condition can destroy them. This is important if you live in a region like Canada, where the weather can sometimes be extreme.

  • Eco-friendly materials

Environmental protection has become a global concern in recent years. Every government, every company, every family, every individual is responsible. We must do our best to preserve nature. That's why we chose DELTA PRÉVENTION self-supporting guardrails. The company uses recycled materials in their manufacture.

  • Preserving the roof

The DELTA PRÉVENTION skylight guardrail is 100% self-supporting. So there's no need to drill holes in your roof to install it. Preliminary work is generally unnecessary. The system relies entirely on counterweights.

  • Made in Québec

The DELTA PRÉVENTION skylight guardrail is made in Quebec. What's more, it comes with a 10-year warranty.

What other roof security systems do you offer?

We offer many other roof securing devices. Here are just a few:

  • Self-supporting guardrails for roofs, access hatches and permanent or temporary access ladders;
  • A permanent visual warning line for roofs;
  • Fixed and mobile ladders;
  • Industrial staircases;
  • A lifeline;
  • A self-supporting anchor.

These devices ensure worker safety during roofing operations such as cleaning, snow and ice removal, or repairs. They're especially useful if your roof is accessible to everyone.

To conclude

Falls from heights can cause injuries of varying degrees of severity. There's even a risk of death if the impact is severe. So take precautions to prevent accidents. Install self-supporting guardrails on all high-risk areas of your roof. This includes skylights.
