Skylights and Rooftop Safety Products
The rooftop railing systems provide protection against the threat of falling debris and vandalism that occur around the home or property. It is essential that you use a system that is designed to meet the highest and most specific standard in the industry. You may be wondering what types of products are available to you when it comes to rooftop security. The truth is that there is no one product that is suitable for every application, but there are certain characteristics that remain constant throughout the industry. For this reason, we will discuss some of the most common components you will find in a variety of different types of systems. You should pay close attention to the Rooftop Safety Products section for an overview of the most common materials and components you will find there.
The system configuration is an important aspect of a good home or business security system. This system configuration should match the roofline height and the size of the building that are being protected. A common configuration is a rectangular or square box that is approximately ten feet in length and four feet in depth. The corners of this box should be rounded or fluted and the sides should have non-slip rubberized edge and sides that are reinforced with non-slip polyurethane blocks.
When the system configuration is finalized, the system is typically made from high impact plastic or high impact rigid plastic (HI-PI plastic). These materials are fire resistant and the surface has an exceptionally long usable life span (typically ten years or more). The installation process typically includes bonding the entire system to a steel frame with tabs and flaps that are permanently installed into the structure.
Roofing materials typically include zinc-plated metal sheets and asphalt tiles. These materials are combined with insulation board and fire retardant membranes that are glued to the roofing material. This system configuration is often referred to as metal roof skylights or Rooftop safety skylights. They provide insulation and cooling benefits to the space under the roof. In addition, they provide convenient ventilation of attic space.
The components of the Rooftop safety railing systems can be purchased and installed by a qualified professional. Many manufacturers offer custom Rooftop safety railing systems designed to meet specifications for pre-existing and new structures. There are many custom manufacturers who specialize in roofing and attic systems. Some manufacturers offer free-standing, hanging and fixed Rooftop components and accessories. Free-standing systems are typically portable and can be moved from one location to another if needed.
The components of the Safety railing system are installed on the ground in the attic by attaching to the metal roof rafters or the external side of the skylights. A specially designed foot ramp lowers the ladder onto the skylight from the ground. The manufacturer does not guarantee the fit or finish of the components. Custom installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and installation. Check out this related post to get more enlightened on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylight.
