CoverLite™ Skylight Protection Cover

Temporary fall-protection for fragile skylights, easy to install and reuse

Contact us to discuss your project

Introducing CoverLite™

CoverLite™ is part of the APS rooftop safety range, designed to reduce fall risks when working near fragile skylights. It’s made from tough Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), with each panel weighing just 12.6kg. This makes it light enough to handle and install by one person.

Each unit features a lattice design that allows natural light to pass through while forming a temporary physical barrier over vulnerable openings. For wider skylights, multiple panels can be linked in a line. A separate fixing kit provides brackets, rivets, and straps to ensure a secure, weather-resistant fit.

Tested and certified to ACR Red Book (Class B) and BS EN 1873, CoverLite has been engineered to remain in place under impact and challenging weather conditions. It helps you stay compliant without sacrificing speed or convenience.

Ideal for maintenance, repair or inspection work, CoverLite offers a practical, reusable solution that helps APS customers work safely at height and with confidence.

CoverLite Skylight Protection System in Action

CoverLite Engineered for Rooftop Safety

Key factors to consider when choosing skylight protection

A simple solution to a serious risk

Falls through fragile skylights remain a leading cause of injury during rooftop work. CoverLite provides a straightforward, temporary solution that’s fast to deploy and easy to secure in place.

Secure each panel with the correct fixings

Each panel must be installed using the supplied brackets, rivets, and straps. This ensures a weatherproof connection and helps the cover remain in position under load or in poor weather.

Use multiple panels with care

Where additional panels are needed, these should be installed in a longitudinal direction only. Each one must have its own fixing kit — brackets cannot be shared between panels.

Always face the yellow side upward

CoverLite panels are finished in a high-visibility yellow. This must face up when installed, helping to clearly mark protected areas and reduce the risk of accidental access.

Why CoverLite Makes a Difference

Many temporary skylight solutions fall short when it comes to strength, reliability, or ease of use. CoverLite stands out for its lightweight design, certified safety performance, and practical installation process — making it ideal for short-term projects where safety is critical but time is limited.

Details That Make CoverLite Stand Out

Every component designed with rooftop safety in mind

GRP Lattice Construction

The reinforced lattice structure is designed to allow natural light through while maintaining structural performance under load.

Lightweight & Easy to Handle

Each panel weighs just 12.6kg, making it simple to lift into place and move around on site — even without extra support.

Secure Bracket Fixing System

Each panel is fixed using a dedicated pack of brackets, rivets, and adjustable straps. This provides a tight, weather-resistant seal around the skylight area.

High-Visibility Yellow Surface

The bright yellow finish clearly signals protected areas to anyone working on the roof, helping reduce the risk of accidental access.

Modular & Extendable

Panels can be installed in sequence for larger skylight runs, or grouped side by side. Each panel must be fixed independently to maintain coverage and safety.

Weather-Sealed Components

All fixings are supplied with seals designed for rooftop use. CoverLite is designed to minimise disruption to the roof surface and can be removed cleanly after use.

FAQ's

  1. Is CoverLite a permanent safety solution?

    No – CoverLite is a temporary cover intended for short-term use during rooftop work.

  2. Can the panels be reused?

    Yes – they are made from GRP and built for repeat use, provided they pass pre-use checks.

  3. Can I walk or stand on CoverLite?

    No – the system is not designed as a load-bearing platform. It protects against falls, not for access.

  4. How is CoverLite installed?

    Each panel uses 4 brackets, 4 straps, and 4 rivets (included in the fixing kit). No substitutions should be made.

  5. Do the panels connect together?

    Yes – but only along the short edge. Each panel must have its own set of brackets and straps.

  6. Is any training required for installation?

    No formal training is needed, but installers must be competent to work at height and follow the provided instructions.
