Safety doesn't happen by accident, it has to be prepared!
Roof protection became an urged necessity on sites that engage working at heights. No matter what the type of the site is, whether it was commercial, public or industrial such as shopping malls, residential buildings or factories, the safety of contractors or rooftop visitors is a must with no compromised solutions.
The nature of the building will represent a weighed factor to determine the criteria of the protection system that should be implemented on the rooftop. As an example, with buildings that have aesthetic standards, the roof edge protection system needs to reflect these standards and preserve safety on the highest levels.
A great solution for working at height
With a keen eye to offer the right solution, Kite presents TOPFIX roof edge protection system. The system can be applied on top of copings or a parapet walls, it is permanent and perfect for rooftops where the wall is not high enough to protect from falls or slips. Kite's Top Fix System can be fitted on flat or sloped roofs, and it can be implemented even when rooftops are corrugated.
