Roof Guardrails (Safety Barrier Systems)

Roof guardrails are an essential component of collective safety systems designed to prevent falls from height during construction, repair, or routine operational maintenance work on the roof. In accordance with building regulations, the installation of such protective barriers is strictly mandatory for all multi-story residential, public, and industrial buildings with an eaves height of 12 meters or more.

SIA Akvilon produces reliable prefabricated modular structures that provide a continuous safety zone along the entire roof perimeter. The guardrail design efficiently withstands standard operational loads, ensuring maximum protection for personnel servicing the roof, ventilation equipment, or utility networks.

Package Contents, Installation, and Production Capabilities

Leveraging our own production facilities and engineering expertise, SIA Akvilon offers adaptive solutions tailored to any property:

• Full Package Delivery: Safety barriers are supplied as ready-made sections with a standard length of 3 meters. Each kit includes all components required for assembly and installation: vertical posts (supports), horizontal guardrail tubes, and specialized fasteners.
• Custom Adaptation: The support bracket design allows adjusting and locking the barrier inclination angle relative to the roof pitch, ensuring a strictly vertical position of the safety screen on roofs with any slope.
• Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Polymer Coating: All components are manufactured from durable rolled metal and protected against atmospheric impacts. Powder coating is available in any color from the RAL catalog for a precise match with the architectural style of the building.
• Professional Installation: We perform qualified installation of guardrails in compliance with current occupational health and safety requirements. Installation work is carried out with a guarantee of maintaining the watertightness and integrity of the roof waterproofing layer.

Technical Parameters and Operational Conditions:

• Standard Section Length: 3000 mm.
• Installation Height: Regulated by building safety standards for buildings with an eaves height of 12 meters or more.
• Fixing Versatility: The well-engineered system of support brackets allows installing the guardrails on standing seam roofs without compromising the integrity of the covering, or securely fixing them to slopes made of metal tiles and corrugated sheeting.

Compatibility with Roofing Types:

• Standing Seam Roofing: Posts are secured using specialized clamps directly onto the standing seam without through-drilling of the metal, completely eliminating the risk of leaks.
• Corrugated Roofing (Profiled Sheeting): Installation is carried out into the load-bearing batten framework through sealing components that guarantee the waterproofing of the fastening node.
• Metal Tile Roofing: Supports are fixed into the tile wave trough with through-fastening to a wooden or metal substructure.
