Skylight & Fragile Rooflight Protection

Roof & Skylight Fall-Through Protection

Fragile rooflights and skylights present critical fall hazards beyond perimeter edge protection. SkyAngel addresses this gap through precision-engineered cover systems combining galfan-coated steel mesh with rigid PVCu framing to create robust barriers whilst maximising natural daylight transmission. The modular 2m x 1m panels enable rapid deployment across standing-seam, composite and built-up roof systems.

Independently assessed to ACR[M]001:2019 and supporting the Work at Height Regulations 2005, SkyAngel integrates with BS EN 1873:2005 rooflight units and coordinates seamlessly with perimeter guardrails, walkways and fall arrest systems. The modular design accommodates standard and bespoke rooflight dimensions, including pyramid, barrel vault, and flat configurations across industrial, commercial, and heritage applications.

Why Choose SkyAngel

• ACR[M]001:2019 Certified Performance
  Independently validated fall-through resistance providing duty-holders with documented compliance evidence whilst supporting Work at Height Regulations and CDM requirements.
• Galfan Steel Mesh Construction
  High-tensile, corrosion-resistant galfan steel mesh delivers superior strength-to-weight performance with engineered apertures maintaining maximum daylight penetration whilst preventing fall incidents.
• Lightweight PVCu Construction
  Extruded PVCu frames with low thermal conductivity ensure weather-resistant installation across diverse rooflight configurations whilst eliminating condensation bridging and maintaining energy efficiency.

Technical Specifications & Features

SkyAngel addresses interior fall hazards through precision-engineered barrier technology, complementing perimeter guardrails with documented fall-through resistance. The system combines metallurgical expertise with polymer science to deliver quantifiable protection across diverse rooflight installations. Each component undergoes comprehensive structural validation, environmental exposure testing, and substrate integration analysis to ensure predictable performance within complex roof assemblies.

• Galfan Mesh Engineering Multi-directional steel mesh matrix with zinc-aluminium coating delivers 1.5kN/m² distributed loading through calculated aperture geometry. The engineered grid maintains 85% daylight transmission whilst providing structural redundancy against impact loads, eliminating membrane stress concentration around protected openings.
• Cellular PVCu Framework Multi-chamber extrusions with 0.17 W/m·K thermal conductivity resist dimensional change across -20°C to +60°C operating ranges. The rigid assembly distributes point loads through integrated reinforcement channels, preventing localised substrate damage during installation and service loading.
• Impact Resistance Validation Independent 1.2kJ drop testing per ACR[M]001:2019 demonstrates non-fragility characteristics through standardised impact protocols. Testing documentation provides quantified resistance metrics for compliance verification and hazard assessment documentation.
• Installation Flexibility Precision-machined connection hardware accommodates ±25mm dimensional tolerances across manufacturer variations. The modular approach enables retrofit integration without weatherproofing disruption, maintaining structural continuity across pyramid, barrel vault, and rectilinear configurations.
• Condensation Prevention Integrated thermal breaks eliminate moisture nucleation through controlled heat transfer pathways. The design prevents cold bridging effects that compromise building envelope performance whilst maintaining protection system durability across seasonal temperature cycling.
