About Skylight Fall Protection Mesh

SolarShade skylight fall protection mesh is a purpose-built safety system designed to prevent accidental falls through fragile or open skylight openings on commercial and industrial rooftops. The mesh is installed directly over the skylight aperture, creating a robust barrier that can withstand the impact load of a person falling onto it.

The system uses a hot-dip galvanised (HDG) steel frame with galvanised iron (GI) mesh infill. This combination delivers high strength and long-term corrosion resistance without the need for ongoing maintenance, making it well suited to the harsh climatic conditions of the Gulf region.

Each unit is custom-fabricated to match the exact dimensions of the skylight opening, ensuring a secure, gap-free fit. The system is designed for permanent installation and requires no penetration of the existing skylight glazing or roofing membrane.

Skylight fall protection mesh is commonly specified during rooftop solar installation projects, where maintenance access routes pass over or near existing skylight openings. SolarShade fabricates each unit to the exact dimensions of the skylight aperture, with installation coordinated alongside the solar mounting system where required.
