Many buildings will have their HVAC systems on their rooftops, as protecting these setups from vandalism and other ground threats is easier. But you’ll occasionally require maintenance access to your HVAC system, not to mention when you need to replace your setup every few years. REDD Team understands that getting to your roof to access your HVAC setup is often challenging, which is why we make specialized rooftop HVAC access stairs.
We can prepare HVAC stairs to help you reach this sensitive space while protecting your roof. A proper access stair setup is necessary to ensure you don’t directly touch the roof surface when up there. Our stairs will reduce the stress imposed on your roof from walking, ensuring the roof membrane remains strong while insulating your space.
How Are Your Stairs Arranged?
How your stairs work is critical to providing everyone with a secure spot for getting to your HVAC setup or anything else you need to reach on your roof. Here are a few points for how you can get your rooftop HVAC access stairs ready:
- The stairs and platform will be planned based on the location of your HVAC unit and any access points to your roof.
- A series of posts will work on the bottom parts of the stairs and platform. These posts will attach to the roof membrane to create a sturdy anchor without impacting the rest of the roof.
- The steps leading up to and from the platform will be sized to ensure they are easy to walk on. Proper guardrails on the sides are also necessary to help users maintain balance and control.
- The platform will include a flat surface that provides access to the HVAC control panel and other features.
The design for your steps will vary by situation, but our workers at REDD Team will find a way to make it work while remaining safe and sturdy.
Protect Your Workers and Workspace
Your rooftop HVAC access stairs will help you get simple access to your HVAC system. Your HVAC setup will have many sensitive parts that require access to occasion, including control panels, motors, and connections. We can create access stairs with proper openings to help you access those items without obstruction.
The aluminum surface on your platform will also be safer than a traditional roof surface. Many roof surfaces have slippery spaces and could have insulating tiles and other features that might be damaged if people walk directly on them. A platform over that surface is necessary for protecting your space while ensuring your workers won’t slip on your roof.
Your stairs are especially critical for roof surfaces that have slants or are on slopes. These surfaces can be dangerous without protection, so stairs with a safe guardrail will be necessary for protecting people without risking harm.
