The walkways are designed to create a level anti-slip walking surface and to afford protection to both the user & the standing seam roof.
The walkway has been engineered as a system that can fit to 305, 400 or 500 seam centres.
The Ascent™ walkway is approved for use on The Kalzip Standing Seam roofing system & is manufactured in accordance with CE Marked Fabrications and are tested to BS EN 516:2006 Class 1 Type C & BS EN ISO 14122-2 & Part 3:2016
The walkway can also be used upon traditional standing seam roofs such as lead & zinc roofs. Where it can create e safe access & afford protection to the roof surface, prolonging its lifespan.
The Ascent walkway can be laid to the roof pitch, it can be levelled across the slope or stepped up / down the slope. Where required handrail can be provided to one or both sides of the walkway, either with or without toe board.
The Ascent walkway can be affixed to the standing seam using a range of proprietary fixing clamps which are designed to maintain the integrity of the roof covering.
The Ascent walkway can be laid up / down the slope up to 10 degrees without additional anti-slip ribs & up to 20 degrees with the addition of anti-slip ribs. When traversing the slope it can be laid on a roof-slope up to 3 degrees, thereafter we can offer a levelled walkway.
The Ascent walkway can be levelled using our standard levelling kit on roof slopes up to 45 degrees.
Where there is a need to ascend / descend a roof-slope over 20 degrees the Ascent walkway can be stepped using our standard step fixing kit.
The Ascent walkway can be supplied with handrail (complete with toe-board if required) to one or both sides of the walkway. The Ascent aluminium handrail is a modular system which is integral to the walkway system.
