Technical Specification

Structural Load

  • Supports typical roof terrace live loads (per structural engineer requirements)
  • Residential: 2.0–2.5 kN/m²
  • Communal/commercial: 4.0 kN/m²
  • Load distributed through modular galvanised steel frame to adjustable supports
  • Suitable for porcelain paving, decking, furniture, planters

Dead Load

  • SkyFrame subframe: 12–18 kg/m²
  • Porcelain paving: 40–50 kg/m²
  • Typical total system weight: 55–70 kg/m²

Typical Build Heights

  • Minimum build-up: 60–80 mm
  • Typical terrace build-up: 100–200 mm
  • Maximum build-up: 300+ mm (support‑dependent)
  • Enables levelling over roof falls and drainage gradients.

Frame Spanning & Grid

  • Typical grid spacing: up to 1800 mm centres
  • Designed for 20 mm porcelain or other finishes
  • Optimised to prevent deflection and maintain surface stability

Drainage Performance

  • Free‑flow drainage beneath raised surface
  • Surface joints allow natural runoff to roof outlets
  • Maintains original roof drainage strategy
  • Reduces standing water and ponding

Waterproofing Protection

  • Zero penetration of roof membrane
  • Frame sits on protective pads or adjustable supports
  • Load spread across multiple contact points
  • Minimises risk to waterproofing systems

Service Void

  • Creates continuous service zone: typically 50–100 mm
  • Allows routing of lighting, irrigation, drainage, power
  • Panels can be lifted for maintenance access

Durability

  • Galvanised steel construction
  • Resistant to rot, warping, moisture degradation
  • Typical design life: 25+ years (environment‑dependent)

Installation Efficiency

  • Typical installation speed: 30–50 m²/day per team (project dependent)
  • Faster than traditional patio construction
