Avoid Weight Loading Issues on Roof Terraces

The Raaft® terrace system mitigates localised weight loading by using a framework of loadbearing joists and support pedestals.

‍

Our modular extruded aluminium system uses interlocking joists and bracing struts to create a strong yet lightweight platform.

‍

Height-adjustable pedestals support, stabilise and level the platform to ensure the weight is evenly distributed for maximum support.

• Prevent waterlogging - Rainwater retention in planter soil will considerably add to the overall weight of the system. Placed under planters, Raaft® floor structure panels are perforated to allow easy drainage that prevents waterlogging.
• Lightweight materials - The choice of decking material can also significantly change the weight loading of your roof terrace. Raaft® porcelain decking and tiles compare favourably with the durability of wood and composite decking and the weight of natural stone and concrete products.
• Structural assistance - With data provided by your project’s assigned structural engineer, we can help you calculate safe weight loading and distribution across your terrace.
