Why choose non-penetrating roof guardrails for your project

Choosing the right guardrail system is crucial for roof safety. Non-penetrating roof guardrails, such as the ones offered by Ezi Klamp Systems, offer several advantages over traditional penetrating roof edge protection systems. They allow you to safeguard workers from potential falls, without compromising the structural integrity of your building. In today’s blog, we explore the reasons why you should consider non-penetrating roof guardrail systems for your next project.

Advantages of non-penetrating roof guardrails

Preservation of Roof Integrity

Traditional penetrating guardrail systems require drilling into the roof membrane, which can lead to potential leak points and the potential void of your roof warranty. Non-penetrating systems, however, are designed to be freestanding, with the simple cantilever weight offering ultimate strength and stability. This eliminates the need for roof penetration which helps to preserve the integrity of the roof, reducing the risk of water ingress and ensuring your warranty remains valid.

Ease of Installation

Ezi Klamp’s free-standing roof guardrail systems are incredibly easy to install. They are presented in kit form with pre-assembled posts and rails cut to length, simplifying the overall installation process. No experience is needed to clamp together the steel tubes using stainless steel set screws, meaning that any competent individual can set up the system without the need for specialist skills or equipment. This can save you both time and money, ensuring your project is delivered on time and to budget. 

Compliance with Guardrail Safety Standards

Safety is paramount when working at heights, and Ezi Klamp’s roof guardrail systems are designed to comply with the highest safety standards. Our systems are tested and compliant with BS EN 13374:2013, ensuring they meet all necessary safety requirements.
