Benefits of Non-Penetrating Guardrail

Don't Jeopardize Your Precious Roof Warranty

You shouldn’t have to pay to have your warranty recertified just because you installed a rooftop safety guardrail. Use a non-penetrating guardrail that doesn’t mount to any structure on your building. Prevent water from pooling and damaging your roof by using a lightweight PVC counterweight to give your team all the protection they need.

Non-penetrating guardrail uses counterbalances and weighted bases to sit on the roof's surface creating zero penetrations.

A Rooftop Guardrail Anyone Can Install

Relying on contractors you can’t choose because of a manufacturer’s requirement is a thing of the past. A non-penetrating rooftop railing is so simple to install that you can use that contractor who's always finished the project on time and as expected. Or you can store it on-site for when your maintenance team has the time and weather to install the rooftop safety guardrail.

More Than Just an OSHA Compliant Railing

Avoid that feeling when you complete a project and find out that there’s one more requirement that your guardrail can’t comply with. Kee Guard non-penetrating guardrail will be able to comply with OSHA, ANSI, and IBC (which most local building codes adopt).

Railing that Adapts to Your Roof

Conformity is a good thing when you’re choosing a guardrail system. Don’t worry about the odd angles or multiple levels on your roof when you use a guardrail that can use a couple of fittings to overcome most obstacles.

Inevitably, designs need to be changed, whether it’s because of an oversight during measurements or the location of your gas lines means a unit needs to move. You want a system that can go with the flow and change on the spot.
