High-rise living offers many benefits — proximity to work and entertainment, less maintenance than a single-family home, building amenities, and more. However, the hidden gem of high-rise living is the amenity deck.
A rooftop deck is an investment in luxury. It creates a getaway from everyday tasks and demands and can be an oasis in a busy world. Building a rooftop deck can also increase property value as well as desirability when it comes time to sell.
Decks are exposed to the weather day in and day out, which can lead to common issues that can reduce the lifespan of the deck, and the need for waterproof roof deck flooring to protect the deck itself as well as the underlying support system.
A rooftop deck provides a welcome respite from the noise and pace of the city below. It is a desired amenity where tenants or residents can go to relax or gather while enjoying the weather and city views that they can’t get at ground level or possibly from their window. Providing this space can increase a building’s desirability, but choosing the right materials is essential to a successful project.
Concrete roof tiles are a popular choice for rooftop patios because of their low cost and aesthetically pleasing industrial look. Westile has been manufacturing roofing materials since 1981 and offers concrete plaza pavers for use on plazas with high traffic and where durability is a necessity.
Building a rooftop deck can seem like a large undertaking, but the final result will be worth the time, effort, and money that you put into the project. A rooftop deck gives building tenants and residents a place to escape to the outdoors with a view of the surrounding area.
In February 2022, Brava acquired Azek pavers, a company focused on sustainable, durable, and beautiful outdoor patio and rooftop pavers.
