Roof terraces have become a desirable feature across residential and mixed-use developments but building at height with traditional approaches can be time consuming, labour intensive and beset with logistical hurdles. How can roof terraces be constructed simply, efficiently and without the typical structural challenges faced by contractors who are exposed to both delays and the elements? Raaft’s innovative screwless terrace system has been designed to overcome these challenges and has redefined how rooftop spaces are built.
Conventional roof terraces often rely on bespoke substructures, extensive fixings and precise coordination between multiple trades. All of these can increase the risk of project delays and cost overruns. The weather can also hinder the construction process as traditional approaches depend on dry, stable conditions and bespoke approaches for accurate levelling and material handling. While a traditional approach can result in a strong result, they frequently demand significant contingency planning and on-site coordination which is something the most commercial timelines can ill afford.
A different approach
This is where Raaft has taken a fundamentally different approach by addressing these challenges head on. At the heart of the Raaft screwless terrace system is a modular design featuring interlocking aluminium joists and bracing struts that eliminate the need for screws. These innovations not only
simplify installation but also facilitate easy maintenance and future modifications.
