Project overview
Our client partnered with KATT Safety, a trusted provider of industrial rooftop fall protection systems, to enhance skylight safety on an industrial building. The project focused on covering exposed skylights using KATT Skylight Mesh panels, a fast-installing and durable solution designed to reduce fall risks and improve rooftop safety during ongoing roof maintenance.
The challenge
Unprotected skylights pose a major fall risk in industrial environments, especially for workers operating at height. Our client required a skylight protection system that could be:
- Installed quickly to reduce time spent working at height
- Delivered in phases to suit the project schedule
- Cost-effective and compliant with UK rooftop safety standards
The solution
KATT Safety supplied its high-performance Skylight Mesh panels, engineered for rapid installation and long-term durability. Thanks to KATT’s extensive stock availability, the panels were delivered in three separate orders:
- 12 x 2m panels
- 14 x 2m panels
- 8 x 2m panels
KATT Skylight Mesh can be installed at rapid speeds. This time-saving feature not only reduces labour costs but also limits the duration of work at height—significantly improving safety for installers.
Project outcome
The industrial building is now equipped with a robust and reliable skylight protection system that enhances rooftop safety and streamlines installation. The phased delivery and rapid install times ensured the project was completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to site operations.
Client testimonial
“The skylight mesh took a lot quicker to install than conventional systems. One panel can be installed in 5 minutes rather than 15–20 minutes. It’s a huge time saver.”
– Paul Crawford, Installation Manager
