We have often heard from architects and builders about how much they appreciate the  quality and ease of the Eurotec Rooftop Deck System to ensure a stronger, better designed and built rooftop deck. Eurotec rooftop deck components provides high performance and design flexibility. 

 

  • Use full length decking boards when you don’t want the "checkerboard" pattern of deck tiles. Get the long, lean straight lines your design calls for, even over low-clearance and moderately pitched surfaces.
     
  • Lightweight, low-clearance and sturdy aluminum joists that create a secure, straight, and true joist system. No need to worry about excess weight on your rooftop deck design with the Eurotec Aluminum System profile.  

  • Adjustable range of deck heights, from 4" above the rooftop to over 24" total height to the top of the decking. With the Eurotec adjustable deck pedestals, you can design over varied pitch and slope on a rooftop without sacrificing deck appearance or performance.

  • Faster, more efficient installation with the Eurotec Adjustable pedestals and easy ClickFoot adapter. No drilling or additional fastening is required to complete this high-performance rooftop deck frame.

Let's break down these benefits and why it makes this system the best for your wood deck project:



WANT TO DESIGN A ROOFTOP DECK USING FULL LENGTH BOARDS?

Eurotec Aluminum System Profile was designed to be 'straight and true' and load bearing so all your deck joists are strong and uniform with no possibility of rotting, splitting, cracking, warping or checking.

You are free to design and install any Mataverde Premium Hardwood Decking species in full length boards to complete your rooftop deck project. Eurotec components have been used with Ipe, Machiche, Garapa, Cumaru, Thermowood, and many other decking materials.

Start your design and installation right by incorporating the Aluminum System profile into your deck frame assembly. The adjustable rooftop deck pedestals allow you to create a flat, level surface for the ultimate design possibilities.

The Eurotec Aluminum System Profile allows strong yet lightweight framing for spans up to 33”. Add Profile Connectors to join longer runs. Aluminum is structurally stronger than wood, so no worries about fasteners pulling loose. And it’s a non-combustible frame that won’t twist, warp, crack, split or check over time like wood. What’s not to like?

The Pro-Line rooftop deck adjustable pedestals allow you to easily build over a sloped or slightly pitched surface, faster and more efficiently. They can be adjusted for the overall slope and incrementally as you go.  

The pedestals are designed to help you create a deck from as little as 4” from the top of a roof up to a 24” overall height to the decking boards. Add time-saving Eurotec Nivello slope correctors and shims to adjust for low spots and minor variations in pitch quickly and easily. Eurotec system components are custom designed to work together and help your project be completed in less time.

The Eurotec Deck System has yet another added advantage over a wood frame, the Eurotec ClickFoot attachment is designed to click right into the pedestals, allowing for simpler and more efficient installation of the Eurotec Aluminum Profile joists.
