We are the Roof Terrace Experts

"We chose Raaft because we looked extensively in the market for a system that was suitable for our building. Our building had quite a few technical challenges due to the mineral wool construction of the roof and we wanted a system to cope with particularly fire. This roof is quite a technically challenging roof with pre-cast concrete planks and quite a thick mineral wool construction. The Raaft system is a BROOF(t4), which fully complied with all our fire demands; we also needed a system that copes with precast concrete roof planks and a mineral wool construction of up to 600 mm, which is quite demanding.

The Raaft system was able to cope with all of those demands and with all the increased loadings. The roof at its concept was done by a landscape designer; the design really wants to be vibrant, wants to be biodiverse, so we also asked Raaft to supply planters that are filled with some really nice blooming plants; we just felt that Raaft should supply the whole system. We wanted a seamless product; Raaft were able to help us to design from the roof membrane upwards and come up with a system that looks fantastic.

An architect’s design or a landscape design and the finished product are sometimes slightly different. Raaft acted as a specialist designer and they enabled us to deliver our fantastic roof terrace. The product that we’ve ended up with is a fantastic product; it copes with all of our demands and it allows for wind loading, it allows us to put furniture wherever we need it.

All the feedback from the Vastint group and from agents that have visited has been hugely positive. They love the product, great location. I can’t speak highly enough of the product.”
