Revamping a roof terrace

This is a job that we carried out recently for a client in Hampstead, London. Her roof terrace's wooden deck boards were warped and rotten - see image below - and we were asked to turn this space into something attractive and modern.
We achieved this using grey composite decking and a glass/stainless steel balustrade system. We also provided bespoke design plans and installed the materials ourselves - what do you think of the transformation?

Flooring for a roof terrace: natural slate or decking?
Comments (7)I have been using many decking products for the last 14 years and I have yet to see a composite product outperform quality hardwood. If one considers the weather, use and age the composite products, they generally look tired after a few years with little hope of getting the finish back to how it was when new. Compare this to timber and even after the worst weather, heavy use and 10 years service life, the timber can be brought back to life; just as it was when it first installed. This image is from a 10th floor central London project (240 sq m) where Exterpark Teak was used. You can see where the decking has been cleaned (foreground) and in the rear of the image you can see where Owatrol Oil has been used. The second image demonstrates a close up for the same terrace after maintenance has been completed....See MoreRoof terrace, before and after
Comments (14)Looks great - I love how the screens have given you a little more privacy. I can imagine it all lit up with a string of fairy lights or a big lantern. Perfect for an evening meal in summer!...See MoreNeed a builder for a roof terrace in W9
Comments (3)Hi Anette, I would suggest you take a look in the Find a Pro section of the site to find a recommended builder in your area. You can view their Houzz profile, read previous customer reviews and browse through their projects. You can filter by trade type on the left hand side. Best of luck with your roof terrace - sounds like a dream! http://www.houzz.co.uk/professionals/c/United-Kingdom...See MoreRoof terrace advice needed!
Comments (0)We're in the middle of our roof terrace project. It gets the sun all day so we really need some shade up there when it's all finished. I would appreciate any ideas for this as I'm a bit lost and my husband and I can't agree on what to do at the moment! I'd like something which won't take up much space as we will have planters, built in benches and a bar/BBQ area already up there. Appreciate any advice! Thanks....See More
