Roof gardens & roof terraces

Often, roofs are not strong enough to support the terrace by itself. In this case we create a floating construction, using wedges on the load-bearing walls as to spread the weight evenly. This way we avoid concentrated loads. In order to ensure the terrace is level, we cut the wedges after which crossbeams of sustainable wood are placed on top of them. The decking is attached to the crossbeams. In case of large spans it may be necessary to use galvanized steel for the floating construction.

Our fencing is made of 1500mm ecological Modiwood, within municipal norms. Depending on the situation, fences will be 1000mm or 1200mm in height with a double railing to provide extra strength. The balusters are mounted on the terrace with stainless steel feet. All joints are made of stainless steel.

A roof house provides easy access to your roof garden or terrace. It also provides storage space for items such as cushions or a fridge. A rooftop house can be no larger than 6m2 and at least 60% has to be transparent. A rooftop house is not always possible. Do not hesitate to ask us about the possibilities.

We advise to install a hatch of 1000mm*2000mm with a transparent dome. Our hatches are developed especially for roof terraces and make for a beautiful skylight. An electrical hatch is of course also a possibility.

This custom-made bench with optional built-in storage is equally suitable as a table chair at dinner or just as befitting as a stand-alone bench.

We build our custom made planters of ecological Modiwood. The inside is finished with a synthetic material to protect the wood. The planters come with a drainage layer and professional potting soil.

A pergola delivers beautiful shelter on your terrace. The pergola is custom made. The legs are attached to the fencing or planters to make sure it overgrows gradually. Attaching tension wire, reed- or willow mats to the pergola is optional.

A customized shade sail provides cool shade on a hot summer day. Different shapes and colours are available. The FSC hardwood legs are attached to fencing or planter. The sails are easy to mount using carabiners and pulleys.

It can be beneficial to install a water connection on your roof terrace. You can connect an irrigation sprinkler system with timer. This will allow you to go on holiday without having to worry about your plants.

An outdoor shower can relieve you of the blistering heat of the summer. Our plumber customizes the shower to suit your needs, for example a shower fitted with a stainless steel showerhead.

A customized bar table is great for entertaining friends while enjoying views of the city.

In cooperation with our plant expert we convert your terrace into a green oasis. Customized to meet your demands concerning appearance and maintenance.
