How To Refurbish A Rooftop Terrace

This project involved a penthouse apartment in Tunbridge Wells with a huge roof terrace. The existing deck which had become quite dilapidated needed a complete refurbishment.

All of the old decking needed to be lifted, cut into sections and removed from the premises. The whole terrace was then jet-washed and painted with a protective coating. 

Our hardwood decking tiles provide an ultra-low height threshold solution for the decking on flat roofs and terraces by combining the natural beauty of tropical hardwood with the speed and ease of laying paving slabs onto a structural surface.

As evidenced above, stunning finishes can be achieved. The tiles can be laid in a straight line pattern or in a “chessboard” style, depending on the client’s wishes. We have a range of different timber available sourced from South America, chosen for their beauty and durability including Ipe and Cumaru.

Balconies and rooftop terraces are inherently hard to reach. Timber tiles, being modular, are far easier to handle and transport than traditional solutions which involve long joists, deck boards, etc

With most hardwood installations the boards need to be pre-drilled and counter-sunk which is time-consuming. Our timber tiles, being pre-fabricated, do not require further screws or fixing once on site, saving a great deal of time.

Key Advantages

• Achieve thresholds as low as 37mm
• Long-lasting, attractive decking suitable for the British climate
• Durable hardwood – lasts over 15 years
• No specialist carpentry required
• Pre-formed tiles – easy to cut for detailing
• No joists required – avoid damage to your membrane

We can also supply FSC® certified timber as we have FSC® Chain of Custody (please speak to your Wallbarn representative).
