Your worksite will require stairs and platforms for the roof for many purposes, especially since your roof is often home to many of the most essential operating features in your building. REDD Team will help you plan aluminum rooftop stairs and platforms necessary for your property.
To Keep People From Stepping On the Roof
There are many situations where you’ll require roof access at your property, including maintaining mechanical items or clearing off snow and other bits of debris. However, stepping directly on your roof can be risky, as you might damage the insulating features on the roof. The extra weight people add while on the roof might also be a problem in some situations, as the roof often experiences more physical impacts than the rest of the property.
Your stairs will provide a safe spot for people to walk on when they’re on the roof. You can install your aluminum stairs with safe anchors outside the roof membrane. You can get plates or mounts secured on the sides of the building with additional ones on the top without cutting into any deeper surfaces. The design reduces the risk of the roof being damaged from excess stress.
Access For Sensitive Features
Many things on your rooftop may be sensitive and require regular maintenance. You might have an HVAC setup on the top that requires regular maintenance. Your rooftop stairs can provide access to an HVAC system without stepping on the roof.
Your rooftop will include many things that need maintenance, including HVAC systems that require regular filter checks and centrifugal exhaust systems. Everything has to run well, but regular roof access is necessary for checking on these items. A roof access setup from REDD Team can help you prepare a safe spot for managing items.
Crossovers For Skylights
Skylights are standard features in many buildings, as they can provide additional natural light for any area. But skylights are also fragile and require regular maintenance. A rooftop platform can provide a space near a skylight that allows a maintenance team to check on the skylight, clean it off, and reinforce any sealants or other features in its build. You can get your stairs and platforms to go along your skylights to allow for enough coverage for maintenance purposes.
Maintain OSHA Compliance
Your business will maintain its OSHA compliance when it has rooftop stairs. You’ll need these stairs if you have any ducts, pipes, or other features on your roof that are at least twelve inches high. Workers might need to cross over these spots for maintenance, so having a compliant stair setup that lets users go over the steps will be necessary.
Your aluminum rooftop stairs and platforms will be essential to helping people access your roof while working on many maintenance tasks. These features are also necessary for reducing any pressure people might impose on the roof. REDD Team can help design and build new stairs and platforms that can work on your roof without penetrating or harming your roof membrane.
