A raised rooflight cover primary panel: a galvanised mesh panel on a galvanised frame, secured over an unprotected rooflight so nobody can fall through it, without blocking the light into the building. The raised model is mounted above the rooflight to leave a greater distance between the mesh panel and the rooflight, so in the event of a fall the cover takes the weight without damaging the rooflight. Made for metal profile roofs on warehouses, factories, agricultural buildings and commercial properties.
Also available as a 1 x 2m raised primary panel, and as a standard model that fixes almost flat to the roof. For bigger rooflights add raised extension panels: 2 x 1m, 1 x 1m or 1 x 2m.

Features
- Covers the hazard. It covers the rooflight rather than fencing it off, so people can work closer to it.
- Lets the light in. Natural light still passes through the mesh into the building.
- Raised clear of the rooflight. The greater gap between mesh and rooflight means a fall is taken by the cover, not the rooflight.
- Modular. Primary and extension panels combine to fit bigger or different shaped rooflights, and are easy to carry onto the roof.
- Built to last. All parts, including the mesh, are hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance. The frame and panel will not go brittle.
- Can be seen. The tube can be colour coated where the cover needs to stand out.
- Protects everyone. Collective fall protection for everyone on the roof.
