Ascent™ aluminium walkways are designed to create a safe, anti-slip walking surface across a wide range of metal profile roofs, including composite panels and built-up on-site roofing systems. The system provides a defined access route while helping to protect the roof surface from damage caused by regular foot traffic.
The Ascent™ walkway can be installed to follow the roof pitch, levelled when traversing a slope, or configured as steps for ascending and descending steeper roof slopes.
When installed up or down a roof slope, the walkway can be used at inclines of up to 10° without additional anti-slip ribs and up to 20° with anti-slip ribs.
When traversing a roof slope, the walkway can be installed directly on slopes of up to 3°. For steeper gradients, the Ascent™ standard levelling kit allows a level walking surface to be created on roof slopes of up to 45°.
Where access is required up or down a roof slope greater than 20°, the walkway can be configured as steps using the Ascent™ standard step fixing kit.
The Ascent™ walkway can be secured to metal profile roofing using a range of proprietary fixings designed to maintain the integrity of the roof covering. The appropriate fixing method can be selected to suit the specific roof profile and construction.
Where additional edge protection is required, the walkway can be supplied with an integral aluminium handrail system fitted to one or both sides. Toe boards can also be incorporated where required.
The Ascent™ aluminium handrail is a modular system designed to integrate with the walkway, providing a complete roof access and edge protection solution tailored to the roof layout and site requirements.
