Light Dome Safety Nets

Dome Light Nets for More Safety

Light domes and rooflights are particularly popular for buildings with flat roofs. The domes are not only used for natural lighting of the interior, but also for ventilation of the rooms.

But skylight domes can also become a hazard - namely when people have to enter the roof for clearing or maintenance work. Especially in winter, dangerous situations can arise: if there is snow on the roof surface, domed skylights are often overlooked under the snow cover, especially if the windows only have a shallow curvature. In the case of skylights without appropriate burglary protection, there is then a risk of falling through, because many glass panes are not designed for the weight of an adult person.

The good news: providing sufficient protection is not difficult. Our skylight dome nets are a simple and reliable solution for temporary fall protection and, as a mobile variant, are also perfect for retrofitting to prevent safety deficiencies during roof work.

The dome light nets from safetynet365.com are available in 2x2 m and 3x3 m sizes. However, if your dome or window has a different size, this is not a problem either: We will be happy to make you an individualised dome light net made to measure on request. All our skylight dome nets comply with the prescribed EN 1263-1 and EN 795:1996 standards for protective nets for fall protection.

Fall Protection Made of Robust Material

For our dome light nets we use polypropylene- a highly resilient and stable plastic. This makes the nets not only absolutely tearproof, but also weatherproof and UV-resistant. These properties make our skylight dome nets ideally suited for use as fall-through protection - both outdoors and indoors - and they remain dimensionally stable even after years of outdoor use.

With a material diameter of 4.75 mm in a knotless weave, our nets are designed as fall protection for one person. In order to cushion the energy in the event of a collapse, the safety net has a 9 mm thick and extremely stable end edge. The webbing with ratchet integrated into the net also enables simple and reliable fastening of the dome safety net.

Fastening of dome Light Nets

Reliable fall-through protection is only guaranteed if the fall protection is also professionally installed. In order to fix dome light safety nets as fall-through protection according to the DIN standard, the dome must absolutely have a professionally mounted frame with projection.

The installation itself is then carried out by placing the net from above over the complete light dome and over the surrounding frame. Then the integrated tensioning strap below the frame overhang is tightened until the net can no longer slide up.

More detailed information on the installation of safety nets and fall-through protection can be found in our Building-Site Safety Netting Guidelines.

Permanent Securing from the Inside: Wire Rope Nets

Often a permanent solution is needed to secure skylights that are to be mounted inside the building. In this case, our wire rope nets are an alternative. Unlike skylight dome nets, these can also be used permanently for many years. Our wire nets with a diameter of 3 mm and a mesh size of 100 mm are approved for fall protection up to a drop height of one meter in the interior.
