Transform your unused roof space and enjoy the sunshine and views from your very own roof terrace. Whether used for entertaining guests, gazing at the stars or having a quiet drink, a roof terrace stands to be a great asset to your new or existing home.
The successful design of a roof terrace or garden is based on adequate planning and consideration. Firstly, a certified construction engineer must determine that the roof is structurally strong enough to carry the weight of a roof hatch and any other items. The roof must sometimes be clad to prevent damage to the water tight membrane or flashing often applied to the roof surface. If you are planning to plant vegetation on your roof terrace, you may be required to use extra drains to prevent pooling of water.
Access to the roof space
In case there is no existing access to the roof space, the ideal solution is a Gorter roof hatch, which can be combined with a fixed stair, ladder or scissor stair to provide a complete access solution. A roof hatch, when placed horizontally can be opened with minimal force as it is counterbalanced and locks in the open position to prevent the hatch from blowing shut. Gorter roof hatches can also be supplied with electric controls which will open up your very own roof terrace with the single push of a button.
